Current Ministries in Ecuador

Church Planting Movements

OMS International and Every Community for Christ (ECC), the major evangelistic and church planting ministry of OMS, are working together to encourage church planting movements. These movements consist of house churches, which are rapidly multiplying throughout the country. These church planting movements will create a system of churches that are less dependent on foreign funds and require less professional training for the bi-vocational pastors.

We praise God for what He's done in 2008:

  • Decisions for Christ: 791
  • Baptism: 225
  • Attending: 4,908
  • People in discipleship or lay-leadership training: 583
  • Churches established: 2

Current Ministries

Good Shepherd Radio reaches out with Christian radio programming to the peoples living in the southern mountains and eastern jungles of Ecuador, mainly to the Saraguro people.

Camp Pallatanga continues to provide a beautiful, restful place for retreats, serving churches from all over Ecuador. To find out more about this camp, visit its blog.
 

Short-term groups of doctors, nurses and members of the medical profession come to minister in various parts of the country for medical ministries. They use their medical skills to work alongside local churches, ministering to the medical needs of the people and giving testimony of the love of Jesus. These teams give the church a way to physically minister to the community and gives the church contacts for future evangelism. 

The eXtreme Walk program provides an opportunity for short-term personnel to become involved in missions. eXtreme Walkers come for a year to learn the language, become part of an ECC team and help plant a church.
