Current needs:

Below are the current needs we have for the ministry involvement we have in Ecuador as well as some comfort foods that we miss from the US. Giving towards these items can go through The Family Church or be brought by groups.

The Family Church
2022 SW 122nd Street
Gainesville, FL 32607

Checks should be made out to Eternal Hope Ministries

We could use more monthly supporters. In addition to obvious finacial needs, we would be very encouraged by receiving notes in the mail or emails letting us know if you are praying for our family and the people we work with.
