Ecuador Partnership

JST Baptist Association is currently in an 10 year partnership with a church in Sigchos, Ecuador.  When we began in 2011, the area had no evangelical church and was considered to be less than 2% Evangelical.  Through our ministry time there, we have seen God assemble a team (comprised of locals & our team) to plant a church that is now growing & reaching their community and seeking to plant churches in surrounding areas.  The church,”Blessing and Life Evangelical Christian Church of Sigchos,” is connected to the local Baptist Association and also the Ecuador Baptist Convention.

We send multiple teams during the year.
