    The Whitefield team has embarked on a new journey to Carmen Bajo in Quito, Ecuador.  After two years of the trip being cancelled due to the pandemic, we are blessed to be able to continue this partnership that has been in place since 2003!  This group of students is the 19th group of Whitefield students to travel to serve alongside Pancho and Pitty.

    The heart of this mission is to glorify Jesus Christ and to spread His love to the children and families in Carmen Bajo.  The students have been preparing lesson plans, afternoon activities, and projects to help the school. We covet your prayers for connection between the Whitefield students and students of Amor y Esperanza, for lesson plans to come together, and for students to be touched by the Spirit as they disconnect from life at home.  

    Our first full day in Quito took us to the market in Otovalo, to a traditional Ecuadorian lunch, and up to Cuicocha to hike around a natural volcanic lake.  The Lord's beauty and presence was radiant in our surroundings and in the hearts of our hosts here in Ecuador.  Praise the Lord for the opportunity to travel again to Amor y Esperanza!!

Annie has been wanting to join 
the EMT since she heard Pancho 
and Pitty speak in chapel when she 
was in kindergarten!!

The team hiked at Cuicocha and went farther up the
mountain than any previous Whitefield team

Dinner at a traditional Ecuadorian restaurant 

The students enjoyed the market, experiencing a 
different culture, learning to negotiate and purchase
items in a different language.
