Missioner's Message
Cante Waste ya Nape Ciyu zape ye (I greet you from my heart). It’s been quite the year of delving deeper into the work of healing and action. Much of my travel has focused on training, developing collaborative work, sharing best practices and recommending partnerships. Other important work includes assisting those with theological training development, as well as making connections with tribal leaders and dioceses for advocacy and community development partnerships.

YOUNG ADULT INTENTIONAL COMMUNITY
What’s in a name? We’ve been working on this for some time (drumroll please!) but are very excited to share our name!

THE PEOPLE OF GOD IN PARAMOS GO ON PILGRIMAGE
Chimborazo Ecuador is a small community in the south, where 15 million people live in America, 3 million of which are indigenous from 12 ethnic groups, each with its own language, traditions, customs, spirituality, and culture. We have our common values such as respect for the family, community, and love for the earth, solidarity and experience of the God of Life. However, like other people of the earth we have adverse situations that come before the culture of life such as the rupture of the organization, the tendency to certain acculturation, loss of confidence in ourselves, the loss of credibility of the leaders, a certain attitude of dependency, poverty and racism.
