The primary purpose of the medical mission trips to Ecuador is church planting. This is accomplished through the cultivation of relationships in Ecuador and in the United States. Stephanne Marsh has a 40 year history with the churches in Ecuador. As a missionary kid that spent 15 years in Ecuador, Stephanne knows the language, the people, the culture, the needs, and has the heart and passion to do what needs to be done to accomplish the task set before her. Working in partnership with CEMAD (Centro Evangelistico Metropolitano de las Asambleas de Dios) and the Cabrera Family, our primary mission is to bring hope and love; through medical, dental, and eye clinics, while sharing the life-changing story of the gospel. We also supply the support and resources to facilitate the formation of a new church plant in the areas we serve. Statistics from our last trip: Patients treated – 2,852 Reading glasses fitted – 1,936 Prescriptions filled – 11,408 Churches planted – 3
