Iglesia Menonita de Riobamba, Riobamba, Ecuador
September, 2010 - March, 2012
  
I am serving with the Mennonite Church in the city of Riobamba, Ecuador, from September, 2010, to March, 2012. 

Estoy sirviendo con la Iglesia Menonita en la ciudad de Riobamba, Ecuador, desde septiembre 2010 hasta marzo 2012. 

The IMR (Iglesia Menonita Riobamba) banner and its message of Peace in English is a reminder of relationships with Mennonite churches across borders. It was a joint project made during a fellowship visit.

La bandera de la IMR (Iglesia Menonita Riobamba) y su mensaje de paz en inglés es un recordatorio de las relaciones con las iglesias menonitas en otros países. Fue un proyecto conjunto realizado durante una visita de compañerismo.

Listed below are ministries in which I have had the opportunity to serve during my time with the Mennonite Church in the city of Riobamba, Ecuador:  

-Support the development of leadership in the Mennonite church in Riobamba;

-Support training and development of pastoral gifts of Ecuadorian people called to the pastorate;

-Encourage and support members of the church council in Riobamba.

An overall goal is for us to keep growing in the decisions, assessments and issues we deal with for the good of the church community. We have assembled a good team with the pastors Beatriz and Daniel Escobar who have grown a lot in their new commitment as pastors. They have encouraged me to preach at times and to lead the youth ministry of the church.

I have the responsibility to prepare the teaching for Sundays with the young people, plan strategies, and dates and times for active youth participation in the community.

This keeps me involved in doing constant visitation of families in the community with whom we share times of fellowship, and this is where we get many of the ideas for growth in the participation and action of the church. In this way we also continue music lessons for some young people and adults in the community. The worship team is currently made up of seven people, including children, youth and adults. In the services we can see how everyone worships God through with the various gifts that are given to serve the church.

A part of my role is also to facilitate the process of developing church projects to respond to local community needs.

Musical support for the youth of the church including:

-Musical support and counseling with those deprived of liberty in the penitentiary in the province of Riobamba

-Musical support and counseling, with residents in the Picin neighborhood on the outskirts of the city of Riobamba.

Ministerio al cual he tenido oportunidad de servir durante mi tiempo en La iglesia menonita de la ciudad de Riobamba Ecuador

-Apoyar el desarrollo del liderazgo de la iglesia menonita en Riobamba.


Apoyar la formación y el desarrollo de los dones pastorales de las personas ecuatorianas llamadas al pastorado.


Animar y apoyar a los miembros del Concilio de la congregación en Riobamba


 Esto con el fin de mantener creciendo frente a decisiones, evaluaciones y asuntos que tratar  para el bien de la comunidad. Hemos conformado un buen equipo con los pastores Daniel Escobar y Beatriz Escobar quienes han crecido bastante en este nuevo compromiso de ser pastores y me han permitido predicar en algunos momentos y dirigir la pastoral juvenil de la iglesia.
En este espacio tengo la responsabilidad de preparar las enseñanzas en los tiempos dominicales de jóvenes, planear estrategias, fechas y espacios de participación juvenil activa en la comunidad.  
Esto hace que me mantenga en la  constante visitación de las familias de la comunidad con las cuales compartimos tiempos de fraternización, de allí parte muchas de la ideas para seguir creciendo en participación y acción de la iglesia. En esta medida también siguen las clases de música con algunos jóvenes y adultos de la comunidad por lo que  el  grupo de alabanza ahora lo integran 7 personas entre niños jóvenes y adultos,  en los cultos se puede ver como todos y todas adoran a Dios por medio de diversos dones que están puestos al servicio eclesial.


Facilitar el proceso de desarrollar proyectos de las iglesias para responder a las necesidades en la comunidad local.


Apoyo musical con los jóvenes de la iglesia entre lo que se maneja:


-Apoyo musical y consejería con los privados de la libertad en la penitenciaría  de la provincia de Riobamba


-Apoyo musical y consejería con los habitantes del barrio a las afueras de la ciudad de Riobamba (picin).
