We just got back yesterday from our family time together in Ecuador. A great time of reliving memories and making new ones, but really hard to say good-bye. Not sure when we'll ever be back together there as a family.

God was so good to give us 14 years there and our kids still consider Ecuador home. We enjoyed both ex-pat and Ecuadorian friends, as well as a little beach place we had gone to for many years.

It's like we closed a chapter of our lives, all those years in Quito, but we are now moving on to the next chapter. As of January 1, Curt is now overseeing HCJB Global's ministry efforts in Africa and the Middle East. This means a more direct focus on Muslim ministry and unreached people groups in this part of the world. This also means a move in the near future to our mission's home base of Colorado Springs. We'll keep you posted on that.

Happy New Year!
