We Are All Safely In Ecuador!

We have all made it safely to Ecuador! The flight was good. I am amazed already by our team. There was almost no complaining the entire day. Even though we traveled all day in cars, trains, and planes, everyone is in great moods and looking forward to a good nights sleep! We were greeted warmly here at the OMS Guest house with snacks, sodas, and beds! Thanks again for all your prayers!

As of now, our plan for tomorrow is to get up and have breakfast at 7:30 am, then head to Shell, stopping at a mall on the way to get some supplies for our week there. Brian Dorsey and Dan Williams volunteered to stay behind in the morning and help move some stuff from one of the missionary guest homes here in Quito to Casa de Fe in Shell. They will meet back up with us tomorrow afternoon.

I'll make another post tomorrow God willing.

In Christ,

We are checked into the airport and waiting to board our plane. We are excited, nervous, and really looking forward to what God has in store for us all! We meet up with Cheralyne, a young lady from Canada, who is going to work at Casa De Fe the same week as us. Thanks for your prayers!

We have made it safely to Atlanta. We will be checking into the airport soon and I will have at least one more update before we fly out. Everyone is very excited to get on the plane! Ecuador here we come!

Here we go! We just left Northport Baptist Church at 9:25 am. I'll give as many updates as I can till we get on the plane! Thanks for your prayers!

1 day.

That's all that's left before 14 people get on an airplane and fly to Ecuador to help orphans and the workers of an orphanage as much as we can. It's hard to comprehend that the time is actually at hand. Please pray for us as we go. Here are the names of the people who make up this missionary team:

Dr. Steve Manock
Abby Manock
Diane Watkins
Kristy Timmons
Dan Williams
Brian Dorsey
Lukas Williams
Dawn Sams
Chris Hogan
Wendy Hogan
Andy Hogan
Missy Walton
Isaiah Walton
Jon Walton

14 people who on their own are nothing special, but when we allow ourselves to be used by God we are able to reach out to the least of these.

Thank you all so much for your support financially and through prayers. We could not have done it without all you gave. Check back here for updates all week long.

In Christ,
jon walton
