"The Best
Thing that's Happened to Me!"
Thelma Nisly, RMM
missionary in Cuenca, Ecuador, wrote the following about Edison,
a young man who has recently begun to
follow Jesus in that city. "[Edison’s brother] explained the
plan of salvation…Edison listened intently and then responded,
‘I’ve already done that.’ So, though no one formally ‘led Edison
to Christ,’ Christ came and led Edison to find him. Edison’s
fervor for God is totally evident. He is sharing his faith with
a small group of seven university buddies. He's witnessing to
his girlfriend and her family. He admits he has been labeled a
fanatic, but he said, with his quiet smile, ‘I can't help but
tell people about this peace I have. It's just the best thing
that's happened to me!’" |

Youth Serving in
Ecuador
RMM’s 2005 SWIM
(Summer Witness In Missions) team left for Ecuador
on July 8 to spend a month ministering in two cities
there.
 Before
they left, team leader Stephanie Nisly wrote that
“During the two weeks of SWIM training, our team has
gone from sitting and staring quietly at each other
across the breakfast table to sharing deeply from
our hearts with each other. Praise and worship
times, opportunities to serve others in the city of
Columbus and talking with each other during our
unstructured time have pulled this team together. It
has been an amazing privilege to pray and learn as a
team.” For more pictures of the team and updates
from their outreach, visit
