From Quito

After a smooth flight through the air and through customs, we have arrived at the HCJB Guest House in Quito, Ecuador. This trip has been in the works for a while, and was the reason for my initial contact with HCJB last fall. Canadians have played a huge roll in HCJB in the country, so we want to tell some of that story through video. I'm here with John and Ann Rush and David Findlay, all on staff with HCJB Global Canada.

I'm really looking forward to tomorrow. We're having breakfast with Jesse Saint (grandson of martyred missionary Nate Saint), and Mincaye, the man who killed his grandfather, along with four other missionaries, in 1953. They are all like family now, and the entire story is one you really should get to know. You can read about it here.

After breakfast we'll tour the radio station (their primary ministry) and then the hospital, before driving south to Rio Bamba for the night. I think our flight with MAF into the jungle happens on Wednesday. It's all pretty exciting!

I hope to video blog when we get back to Quito in a few days, so be sure to check back.
