Pray for Ecuador

For those who don't know or may not remember, I was in Ecuador a couple years ago for a missions trip. This was a great experience for me. Our group helped out with a house for boys who used to live on the streets, but at this house they have a place to live, food to eat, clean clothes, a school to go to, love, and, most importantly, they learn about God. I have continued to get e-mail updates about what's happening. Here is an excerpt from the last e-mail:

"Ecuador has been declared a national disaster due to record breaking rainfall causing serious flooding on the coast. Phil and Tully returned last night after several days helping with relief efforts on the coast. As I write this note to you the rain continues to fall ruining crops, homes, and villages. Pray for healing, wisdom, and unity of churches and others working to help distribute the food items and aide. There may be opportunities for Phil to return to serve with some of the Casa G boys."

(Phil is currently in charge of the house and I'm not sure who Tully is, but he probably helps out with the boys. Casa G is short for Casa Gabriel, the name of the house/group that cares for the boys.)

Please be praying for Ecuador and the people.
