Our teammate Chris Irwin and I split the topics that included:

• History of the Restoration Movement,
• Restoration Principles,
• Biblical Base for the Restoration Movement,
• Contrasts with Calvinism and Pentecostalism,
• Setting a biblical base for interpreting prophecy and
• Where do we go from here as a brotherhood of churches here in Ecuador.

Karleen taught in the Samanes congregations concerning Biblical worship. The area of worship was one of the weaknesses that surfaced when the congregation did their Natural Church Development profile.

We are looking forward to a couple of work teams coming down this next year to help with some of the building.

The Vergeles congregation is working each Saturday to finish the second half of the metal structure for their building and place a roof over it before the rainy season.

The women and children work just as hard as the men, plus the women prepare lunch.

The existing metal structure also gets a fresh coat of paint.

Here are a few pictures from the first two Saturdays.

We are thankful for two U. S. congregations that have provided the funds for the materials!!
