From Sandra:

“Hola Me llamo Sandra Acevedo Duarte y amo a Cristo!  I was born and raised in Mexico but in 1995 I came to start a Spanish mission church in Greensboro, North Carolina. Since then, I've served in all different ministries. In addition, I've been a member and a volunteer on the Hispanic Task Teams for the North Carolina Women's Missionary Union. Besides my local and statewide ministry, I have also traveled to Honduras, Nicaragua and Mexico on mission trips, I love the work God is doing everywhere. 

Through life's changes in 2023 I left my teaching job to be in full-time ministry. Knowing Jesus is the author of my faith and He makes it perfect, I am more than blessed to serve as an Associate Pastor for the Spanish campus at Definition Church. I love to speak the word of God and help others to trust and discover Him. Now, I've never been to Ecuador but I am excited to engage and learn all about their culture, people and their need for Jesus.  

God Bless your Generosity if you decide to support me, and I can't wait to tell you all about it! Please share this page and, most importantly, keep us in your prayers. Si deseas contribuir al llamado de Dios en las misiones de Ecuador, ¡Muchas Gracias! que Dios te bendiga y multiplique tu amor.”

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!
