Year in Review

Salome Ponce, me and Shuyan Ponce  near the Equator.

Playing to a group of school kids in Quito, Ecuador 

Iglesia La Vina, Quito, Ecuador 

One of the highlights for me in 2012 was a mission trip that I was honored  to be a part of  to Quito, Ecuador,  back in April of 2012.  The days were full of playing music and ministering in local schools and teaching music lessons (Drums) in the evening. Our host was a wonderful missioner Oscar Palma, and his family who are from Chile, but have been living and working in Quito, for a good number of years now. I'm always humbled to be with people with who are so dedicated to sever the Lord and spread to Gospel of peace. Many people sadly, especially in the US, chase after the wrong things in life and make Idols out Rock Stars, Politicians and Athletics etc. So, when people ask me who my heroes are I respond by saying " My heroes have always been missionaries" and  I will make the godly my heroes in land. No government policy or religion can change a persons heart only the message of salvation through Jesus Christ, the creator of all things and ruler of the entire universe can do that. Amen.

The Equator

Middle of the World

Well, I always wonder what the Equator looks like and know I know. It's a white line with a red line in the middle. They say it dons't rain much at the Equator but it did this day which may have been a blessing, although he temperature hardly ever gets above 75 degrees it feels hotter and you can burn more easily.

Carlos the Volcano Expert

Puluachua Crater

This wise old man Carlos, will tell you all about the Puluachua Crater, just outside of  Quito, Ecuador at about 9100ft. above sea level I could have stayed here all day photographing this scene as it constantly changes with the the clouds moving in and out. This Volcano is consider dormant but according to Carlos there's no such thing as a dormant volcano.

Herd of Sheep

Sheep Grazing Quito, Ecuador

While scaling the Andes Mountain that surround Quito, Ecuador, at 10,000 ft I came across this herd of sheep grazing in the grass. Out of know where a big sheep dog came out of hiding to check me out. When he saw I was harmless he proceed to back off I must say I was quite impress with him. No one going to steal this flock on his watch.
