Ecuador

Ecuador is being flooded with North Americans (aka expats) moving abroad—many who are entering the final chapter of their lives as retirees, ready to coast in comfort and ease, yet in a state of spiritual darkness. Ecuador is a desirable retirement location, due to low cost of living, U.S. currency, excellent healthcare, and year round spring-like climate. We believe this is God’s providence, as He is bringing this largely under-reached people group to a place where they can encounter the light of the gospel.

The Lord has uniquely equipped our family with practical tools for this mission. Through home inspection services, I will be able to build trust, serve tangible needs, and develop meaningful relationships within the expat community. At the same time, my wife, Kristen, will be teaching English as a Second Language (ESL) within the Ecuadorian community, creating natural opportunities to connect with individuals and families, open doors for discipleship, and share the hope found in Christ.

This is more than a relocation—it is a calling. We are going not merely to live abroad, but to intentionally engage a growing population that is often overlooked in traditional missions. We believe that the only hope for these expats is not found in retirement or starting over, rather found in the truth of the gospel of Christ. Our aim is to faithfully proclaim the gospel, disciple those who respond, and see healthy, biblically grounded local churches strengthened and multiplied.

We would be honored to have you partner with us in this work, whether in giving or in prayer. Your financial support enables us to be present, to serve, and to share the gospel freely. Together, we have the incredible privilege to take part in what God is doing—bringing light into darkness and calling people to Himself.
