pray

• the earthquake: survivors, to receive peace and support physically and emotionally; for the church to display transformative love; for the souls of the lost, that the Lord may have mercy
  
• the economy: to grow from dependence on oil to leveraging the creative abilities of the people; to value people over profit
• the government: to avoid corruption and not persecute those who would speak in opposition, but rather seek to understand in love
• the church: to preach the gospel, calling people to repentance, following Jesus as Lord and Savior of their lives and not living nominally; for missionaries to be sent across the world
• the campus: growth in the good news and Christ-like leadership present
• the land: care of Creation and resources, fighting against exploitation of natural resources while seeking to maintain the forest, mountains, and water
• “sumak kawkay”: for the people of Ecuador to live “the good life” (phrase in Quechua, the most widespread indigeneous language), in harmony with one another, the land, and the Creator
