I hope this post finds all of you well. I'm sending this before the start of our second day. Yesterday we were blessed to have been able to visit the garbage dump in Quito, Ecuador. While the parents work for $35.00 a week about 35 children play in a little house or daycare center. We were able to visit with these children and share some time with Pastor Jose, who leads 5 ministries at the dump. They are so fortunate to have such a loving pastor. Please pray for this man and his family. He has been doing this for 9 years. For Jose, Faith is not a weekend thing. He lives it and believes it every day. The children were so happy to see us and spend time with us. Our time there was short, but it will forever be tattooed in my brain. I felt selfish as I left there for all the little things I had ever complained about.
After our trip to the Quito dump we spent time preparing with other Extreme Response members for our afternoon Christmas party where we played games, met Santa, sang praise songs and delivered meals to all of those that attended. It was a great party we fed and ministered to almost 500 poor and homeless people. Thank God for allowing me this opportunity! And thanks to those of you who continue to pray and those that supported this outreach for me and the Southbrook Team!
Lovingly,
Mike
