Every year the Ecuadorian Branch organizes an English District Convention in Guayaquil. It is a blessing for those of us serving in a foreign field to hear the program in our native language. It is like a mini international convention in that there are so many brothers and sisters from other countries that attend. For example there were brothers from Canada, Mexico, England, Belgium, Australia, New Zealand, Germany, U.S., Austria, Peru, Japan, Korea, China, Sweden, just to name a few.
A moment that really impacted me was during one of the talks the brother asked to see a show of hands of how many in the audience were serving in some sort of full-time service...the majority raised their hands. It was wonderful.
For any of you that want to serve where the need is great and are planning to visit Ecuador, I suggest you try to attend this unique convention. It is always the last weekend in July. You won't regret it.
