Join us through your prayers and support as we travel to Ecuador to spread the Good News and Joy of Jesus Christ!
From Buddy & Barbara:
“We are active disciples of Jesus, who are dedicated to reaching people for Christ. We enjoying sharing His love and redemption at home and afar!
We live on Kent Island on Maryland’s Chesapeake Bay. Sharing God’s word with children and adults is our primary focus - and source of enjoyment.
Barbara and Buddy each have two married adult children and a total of 10 grandchildren.
We have traveled extensively for church missions, work and leisure. We are joyfully anticipating the upcoming trip to Ecuador - and the blessings that await.
Join us, please, through your prayers and, if possible, your financial support to the communities we’ll be serving.

Intentional 2020
Ecuador
Intentional 2020 serves communities in the Highlands of the Andes Mountain Range, the Amazon Jungle and the Ecuadorian Coastline. While their first focus is always in sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ, they also focus on the physical needs of the communities they serve.
The December, 2026 trip will focus on Christmas teaching and blessings in 7 communities in the Highlands surrounding Mount Chimborazo and 5 communities in the Amazon. We will also look for formal and informal opportunities to do teaching and evangelism with the adults and youth.
In all communities we’ll teach a Christmas story for the children (along with songs and dancing!), an adult bible focus for the adults, and we’ll share blessing bags for the kids and a community meal for the entire community.
Please, help us bring the love of Jesus Christ to folks in these remote regions of Ecuador! Far from any grocery store or even a bus stop, these small communities rely on agriculture and raising milks cows and sheep, often pooling milk into community cheese ‘factories’.
The adults have varying levels of understanding of who Jesus is and the importance of having faith in Him. The children are learning - principally through the work of Intentinoal 2020 and local pastors and lay people, each of whom shepherds 2-3 communities. The mission team will attend church with the Pa Chancho community in our first day in country and we will use every opportunity to share God’s love, through our work, our words and our prayers!
