Prayer Letter/Ministry Update

Dear Prayer Partners,

Please take a minute to read this passage from Revelation chapter 9 before you continue on to our prayer letter.

9After this I looked and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and in front of the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands.
10And they cried out in a loud voice: "Salvation belongs to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb."
11All the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures. They fell down on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, 12saying: "Amen! Praise and glory and wisdom and thanks and honor and power and strength be to our God for ever and ever. Amen!"
(Revelation 9:9-12 NIV)

We echo that “Amen!” (Thank you, Pastor Len, for reading this passage at the beginning of our Easter service!) What an awesome reminder of why we are here and where we are headed! Those of you who have the privilege of attending a multi-cultural church know the thrill of worshipping our Lord together with some of those “nations, tribes, peoples and languages.” It is a sweet taste of heaven and makes our heart long for more!

We get the same sensation as we go about our daily work at the Alliance Academy. Our students represent many countries and it is our hope that they will be with us in heaven on that day when we will worship the Lamb around His throne! It has been a privilege to work toward that goal here at the Alliance Academy for the past 12 years! Although our service with the Christian and Missionary Alliance (C&MA) will conclude in June of 2010, we feel the Lord leading us to stay here for a while longer. Therefore, at the end of next school year we will be switching to a mission agency called “Resourcing Christian Education” (RCE). It is a big leap of faith for us to leave the security of being full funded by the C&MA to having to raise almost full support with RCE, especially in these tough economic times. However, we have great peace about this change and have no doubt that God will supply all of our needs according to His riches in glory (Philippians 4:19). Will you join us in praying about this upcoming change?

Would you also pray with us about these things, too?
1.Ecuador’s elections on April 26th (Among other things on the ballot, President Rafael Correa is up for re-election and is seeking unlimited term limits.)
2.High School Spring Music Concerts on April 23rd and 24th.
3.Every Wednesday afternoon our students and teachers go out into Quito to share the love of Jesus with children and adults at the hospital, the dump, the park and at other locations around the city. Pray for their protection and that people will be brought into the kingdom as a result of their ministries.

We are so thankful for each of you who pray for us and encourage us through your emails, cards and gifts! Do you realize what a big, important part you are of what God is doing here in Ecuador? Please, keep it coming!

Love in Christ,
Bill, Ellen, Michelle, Megan and Jimmy Evans
