February 24, 2010

Ana Porras de Ladines, a teacher at Alliance Academy International in Ecuador, was killed in a head-on collision on February 13 along with her husband Emilio and their seven-year-old son Asaf. A dump truck rammed into their vehicle after crossing the opposite lane.

Alejandra, the nine-year-old daughter of Ana and Emilio, survived with minor injuries. She is with her grandparents in Guayaquil. The couple had been serving as international workers prior to returning home to Ecuador and was preparing to begin a new term of missionary service this summer.

Pray.

The Alliance believes wholeheartedly in the power and necessity of prayer. We cannot “Live the Call Together” unless prayer is central to all we do—as a denomination, as churches, and as individuals.

Give.

You can help build Christ’s Church around the world by donating online to the Great Commission Fund. This fund finances our missionaries, allowing them to focus on ministry rather than raising their own support.

Serve.

Is God calling you to full-time service? Do you want to experience missions firsthand by participating in a short-term missions trip? We want to help you connect your passion with God’s purpose.
