We made it back to Guayaquil in one piece. We had a little "delay" while coming here...
Yes... That is a landslide and a deep one too. It was about 6 feet deep. We thought we were going to have to sleep on the road tonight, but with much prayer the calvary arrived...
At the rate that he was going, we were looking at night time before we would be able to move on. Then, like an angel from heaven, the "big guns" appeared out of thin air...
About an hour later we were moving again and were off to Guayaquil again...
It's amazing what God can do in a time of prayer. Paul Colburn tried to crank that first bulldozer, but it was dead. We went back to the bus and started to pray. When we went back out someone was able to start that bulldozer and started to scrape off all the mud and rock. As we stood there watching that man make a path to freedom, the second bulldozer came out of nowhere. He literally came barreling down to the landslide and without stopping, dropped his bucket and started to shove the mess away. It was so amazing that me and some other people started to sing worship songs for everyone to hear. They might have given us a awkward look, but you could tell that made the biggest impact on them to see some "gringos" singing to God in a time of disaster.Well it's 11:00pm and we got to be down in the lobby at 7:30am tomorrow to leave to goto the airport.
I will try to update the blog when we get to Miami, FL. Until then... ¡Hasta Luego!

Isaiah 64:1-3: Oh, that you would rend the heavens and come down, that the mountains would tremble before you! As when fire sets twigs ablaze and causes water to boil, come down to make your name known to your enemies and cause the nations to quake before you!
For when you did awesome things that we did not expect, you came down, and the mountains trembled before you. (NIV)
\o/ Got an email last night from a deacon list requesting prayer for the mudslide. He is absolutely amazing that He knows our every need and always sends exactly what we need and exactly when we need it. Amen and amen!
Lots of people were praying for God to make a way and once again...HE made a way! God is faithful, God is good. I am so thankful. When the praise goes up, the glory comes down!
