The trip to El Fundo for May 28 had to be canceled because the roads were impassable due to mud.

The team has planned to visit again on June 29, 2007.

24 May 2007

Members of the SIM Ecuador team serving in Gonzonamá will return to the remote mountain village, El Fundo, this weekend.

After the first aid classes in October, 2006, the villagers have expressed interest in learning how to use their study Bibles. SIM missionary Chandra Smith reports that the team will visit El Fundo once a month, teaching stories from the Bible, beginning in Genesis.

"In addition to the Bible studies, Chandra says, "each time we go to El Fundo, we will give a health talk or do something for the physical well-being of the community. In June, we hope to be able to treat their pigs for parasites. This month we will do a health talk on parasite prevention in your family."

Please pray:

• For safe travel on the mountain roads.
• For good weather so that the roads will remain accessible.
• For the teaching for the adults and the children to be clear.
• For the people of El Fundo understand God's love for them.
