Last week, it happened again. For the third time since I’ve been here, someone broke into the church. And for the third time I wonder, “why the church?” I ask this not because of its religious symbolism in the community, but because, we don’t have anything.

The rain fell, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on rock. MATTHEW 7:25
When we call ourselves “Christian,” we have to grow accustomed to the stereotypes that go with that title. Many people think that we are all Bible-pounding, judgmental bullies who confuse logic and reason for sin. While there are some who fit that description, it is certainly not the case for all Christians.

CHOTA VALLEY, ECUADOR
August 3 – 10, 2009
Our second Mission to the Chota Valley is quickly approaching. The work to be done is greater than the time before. Our trip will consist of the following:
- Working with three other villages doing mostly painting and interacting with the people;
- Medical Mission with the residence of the entire Chota Valley (1000 people) - Brenda is to be the Doctor and Donna Garland (Cynthia Mastrogiacomo’s daughter) is the nurse;
- Doing a Vacation Bible School with the children and Basketball camp for the older kids of our “adopted” village of Pusir.
- We will conclude on our time with a Chota Valley Worship Service on Sunday August 9 where we will celebrate all our work and partnership.
The cost is $2,000 per person, which includes airfare. We are looking for sponsors and donations to offset our cost. Currently, 20 people have signed up and time is running out if you want to go. Please talk to Danny, 817-613-6228 or Cynthia, 817-694-5241 if you are interested in going.
Please make donations out to Central Christian Church or Crossroads Youth Ministries. MEMO: Chota Valley Mission.

In February, nine of us went to Ecuador to “scout” out a place for a Mission Trip. We were interested in establishing a relationship with a people in need; those we could attach ourselves to, claim as our own people, watch them grow and develop as a community, track their children and allow our two worlds to join together.
