Thank you for helping me travel to Ecuador and help the communities around Mount Chimborazo! June 20-27, 2026
From Stephan:
“When asked to join this journey I answered yes immediately!
The opportunity to share my experiences in Ecuador with the team members, to serve the indigenous people of the Highlands, and spread faith through service drew me immediately.
I have a unique connection to this enchanting country. It's my wife's home country, and home to her extended family. It's where we have sent our children to school in the summer to learn Spanish and connect culturally with their cousins.
This will be my 16th trip to Ecuador and my eighth journey to the Highlands. A chance to serve the Highlands communities was not one I could pass by.
If success is measured by smiles of the people we help, and invigorated faith, then this mission will be a smashing success.
Please pray for the trip and for those we’ll be serving. And if you’re able, please make a donation to help fund this trip - your contribution will go toward construction supplies, support ongoing work within the communities, and to offset the cost of the trip for the missionaries.”

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 needs of the communities they serve.
The June, 2026 trip will focus on doing Vacation bible Study for kids and doing community construction projects in 4 different communities in the Highlands surrounding Mount Chimborazo. We will also look for formal and informal opportunities to do teaching and evangelism with the adults and youth.
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 Loma Gorda 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!
