‘This is truly a miracle’, said the group of church leaders, pastors and spouses in Ecuador. The opportunity to receive expository preaching training had helped them cross denominational lines.
As an international trainer for Leadership Resources International (LRI), I witnessed a gathering last May that fostered Christian unity among believers from churches in Portoviejo, Ecuador. A ministry that equips and encourages pastors around the world, LRI gathered 25 ministers for instruction on how to proclaim and apply the gospel with greater skill.
Although 94% of Ecuadorians claim Christianity, only 8% are evangelical. Portoviejo – less than 20 miles from Ecuador’s Pacific coast – is no exception. Even with many churches in this tranquil city of about 225,000 people, the state of the pulpit could be improved.
