Our first weekend back in Ecuador we headed to Shell (on the edge of the Amazon jungle) for an all-region missionary retreat.  Reach Beyond’s new president, Steve Harling, and his wife Becky shared wonderful Bible teachings. We had worship times, small group discussions, leisurely mealtimes, and field trips. We enjoyed meeting Reach Beyond missionaries from Guatemala and Argentina and renewing friendships with missionaries in Ecuador. We’re so honored to serve with these wonderful people.

The retreat meetings were held in the nearby town of Puyo.  Here are two photos and a short video of the beautiful Puyo River, just a few steps from our retreat center.
