Guayaquil, Ecuador-Violence Torn City!

Our God called us to the city of Guayaquil in Ecuador 10 years ago. There were so many needy children. Lord opened up the doors for us to embrace and support small number of children with the love of God. And in recent years, we were excited to share how our God has enabled us to reach more children.

But the enemy would always show up where our God is working. The drug cartel has invaded the region and we are witnessing horrendous crimes being committed to the peaceful citizens.
People are dying from shootouts between gang groups. Many are forced to move out of their homes as gang group is taking over the properties. Recently one family who owned a small store was told by gangers to pay up $20,000. For poor Ecuadorian, that’s a incredibly a lot of money. When the family couldn’t pay the amount, they killed the father on the spot.

Please lift Guayaquil and all the people, especially the innocent children, to our God for His protection and help!
