Greetings from the Southern Hemisphere!

From Jim Sanders in Quito, Ecuador with a team of U.S. broadcasters hosted by

HCJB Global. . .

We've been kept pretty busy--and we've been exposed to an amazing ministry which is reaching people here in Ecuador and around the world. As a group, over the weekend, we helped feed men, women and children who're largely homeless here. We've seen HCJB's Caropungo Clinic which serves hundreds of people who're unable to get into the city for medical care. There've been visits to small churches and remote radio stations, each locally licensed and broadcasting in Spanish and in local languages as well.

Getting around here is not easy! In the city, the streets are quite crowded. Out of the city, the extreme elevations make for interesting travel as tight roads, sharp turns, passing on blind corners--all out-weigh any E-ticket ride at Disneyland!

Today, we're meeting here in Quito with radio folks. Tomorrow it's off to the jungle and a three-day stay at Shell. Hopefully--weather permitting--we'll also have the chance to visit Palm Beach where the five missionaries were martyred. I met Steve Saint at the equator earlier in the week.

Pray with us for the ministry of HCJB Global here in Ecuador. Their primary towers are being dismantled by order of the government--a new airport forcing the issue. With technology changing so rapidly, it's made for great conversation as we grapple with many of these same issues in the U.S. HCJB Global certainly deserves our focused attention as they seek to serve the Lord well into the 21st century.
