Our seventh day in Maranatha was incredible. When we pulled up to the church we were met by over 75 people waiting inside and outside the church. The crowd was steady all day long and I had numerous opportunities to share the evangecube. All the doctors, nurses and support personnel were both tired and blessed by the end of the day.
Another unexpected chance for us to share the gospel to thousands of people came when a television crew showed up to interview Dr. Stewart and me. They asked several questions regarding why we had come to Quito and what we thought of the people here. Then the interviewer asked me if there was anything else I would like to say as a special message to the people of Quito. Talk about throwing me a "softball". I was able to share God's love to everyone during the local evening news.
The total count of patients for the day was 357. For the week we were able to touch 1519 lives with the truth of the Gospel.
Praise the Lord, that's the most we have ever been able to reach in one week. I give all the glory to God for a wonderful mission trip. Thanks to all of you who have prayed for us before and during the week. Thanks also to those of you who have given, money, hats, toys, glasses, and all the other supplies we took with us. Thanks to all those who helped make the neck warmers. The people of Quito loved them.
Tomorrow we will spend the day relaxing in Otavalo, a small town famous for the outdoor market. Then part of the group will fly home on Sunday and part of the group will stay and visit the Galapagos Islands. They will return on Sunday July 31.
