• Pray that they will find someone to help them start new churches, and come up with a strategy on how to do it.
• Pray that God leads them to the right people and they are able to come up with a plan, according to His will.
• Pray that Paul and Olivia will be encouraged and comforted knowing that God is in total control and that He is Sovereign.
• Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and will be yours. Mark 11:24

We will be leaving October 12th for Richmond, Virginia, where we will commence our Field Personnel Training. During this two month period, we will receive spiritual, cultural, and language training. We will return home for several weeks at Christmas and after that we are off to Guatemala for three months of language school. At the conclusion of our language training, we will finally travel to our mission destination – the outskirts of Quito, Ecuador to finish out our two-year missionary term.

Our job title in Quito is Church Planter. We will work with several other missionary couples in sharing Christ with the Quichua and Mestizo Indians. Several home churches have been established and we will not only share Christ, but disciple new believers. Our job description also includes working with an area Medical Center. This is especially providential because Paul has been volunteering with the Spiritual Care Ministry at Orange Park Medical Center.

God has guided us to the beginning of this journey with His still, small voice, His unfailing love, and His providential care. He truly meets all of our needs and with His word as "a light unto our path", we will walk the road that He opens before us.

The IMB will provide for our dwelling in Quito as well as a monthly salary to meet financial needs; therefore, we covet your prayer support more than anything else.

Prayer needs:
Peace in leaving loved ones
Language acquisition
Submission to God’s perfect will and guidance
