Ecuador

Our newest workers Stewart and Anna-Claire will begin their new life in Ecuador in September. Anna-Claire is a doctor who will be providing medical care to remote indigenous Amazonian communities, and Stewart is an engineer who will be using his expertise for water and sanitation projects in remote areas of that Amazon region. Pray for a good settling-in period and for God’s provision as they set up home with their new baby. Pray for gospel impact as they serve these remote communities in the name of Jesus.

Radio HCJB2 has been broadcasting creative gospel programming to the coastal city of Guayaquil and beyond for over 50 years. They have a large and growing audience, especially among 30+ women. The station is currently in competition for radio frequencies in that city and would like to retain their two current frequencies and obtain two more to expand their reach. Pray for God’s intervention with the Ecuadorian licensing authorities.

A new young couple will be travelling out to Ecuador in August to serve with Reach Beyond and are currently raising their financial support. Anna-Claire, who is a doctor, will be providing medical care to remote indigenous Amazonian communities and Stewart, who is an engineer, will be using his expertise for water and sanitation projects in remote areas of that Amazon region. Please pray for the Lord’s provision for them both.

Radio HCJB in Quito, Ecuador is launching a new app for mobile phones so that their audience can listen to the radio station and to their podcasts. Pray that many will download the app to access this creative and inspiring material that will lead them closer to Jesus. One listener called José wrote, “I always listen to you when I’m driving. I think about you every day when I pass by the small HCJB sign. Pray for listeners to HCJB Radio in Ecuador who don’t know Jesus.
