The series was made up of six study sessions and a planning session for new students interested in starting a group at their university. We had two rounds of workshops, from which five university groups were born: ESPOL and UG-Administraci\u00f3n (both in the city of Guayaquil), IKIAM (Ecuadorian Amazon Region), UNEMI (Milagro), ESPE (Latacunga). These workshops also strengthened a fragile group in the city of Ambato. All these groups continue gathering every week and are now consolidated.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block block-core-paragraph\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I want to tell you particularly about UNEMI and Juan, one of the group coordinators. When Juan contacted us, he was very happy to know that he would have a community of faith at his university. He quickly got his friend Andrea involved in the mission and now they meet weekly through Zoom with an average of six participants. Juan and Andrea have already participated in a student training event and a national camp. Juan&#8217;s commitment is so strong that now he also participates with small responsibilities at a national level. His desire is to show the gospel of Jesus Christ to each classmate. Though he has not yet met them in person, he has overcome obstacles to generate meaningful relationships with them virtually.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block block-core-paragraph\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Join us praying for:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block block-core-list\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The new contacts whom God will call to his ministry in the universities of Ecuador.<\/li><li>For coordinators who, like Juan, are passionate about sharing the gospel of Jesus with their classmates, even without meeting them in person.<\/li><li>For classes that are returning with a hybrid model (partially virtual, partially in person). Pray that we can adapt to the changes that will come, especially with the groups that were born in virtuality.<\/li><\/ul>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"featured_media":16352,"template":"","area":[628,460],"theme":[],"class_list":["post-16197","prayerline","type-prayerline","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","area-ecuador","area-latin-america"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Virtual Pioneering in Ecuador &#183; IFES Prayerline<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"This week Prayerline is guest-written by Guadalupe Mu\u00f1oz, who is responsible for the work with pioneer groups through CECE Ecuador.
