Janna Fox, Guayaquil, Ecuador

Janna Fox was in town this weekend and gave us some insight into one of our five cities we partner with through our Missions programs – Guayaquil, Ecuador. Guayaquil is a city with a population of over three million people, so it’s a slight change from her home town of Fall River. Janna serves Christ in Bastion & Campamento el Faro de Esperanza (Lighthouse of Hope camp).

In between services, while ensuring everything was going smoothly with regards to the technical side of things (wireless headset mic, her PowerPoint presentation we were running, etc.), Janna commented, “I’m not used to all this technology!” It wasn’t a complaint; more like pointing out the fact that she now had more things to possibly go wrong and therefore add to the potential stress of public speaking. But things went smoothly, and she was great. A natural at public speaking, and an informative look into where she’s currently serving Jesus. Her comment stuck with me, and made me think how we so easily take things for granted here.

Great to have you here, Janna, and we hope to see you again in the not too distant future.

Yesterday, Geoff Moore sang some of his songs and spoke about his involvement with Compassion, and their sponsorship program designed to help release children from poverty, during the morning services.

Geoff was a natural fit for us, and his message must have had an impact, because 40 children were sponsored thanks to you, our StoneRidge people.

A bonus for Geoff – since he was here during Thanksgiving weekend and he hails from Flint, Michigan, this year he gets to celebrate twice.

Be sure to check out Geoff on his facebook page, and tell him thanks for stopping by – it was the only open weekend he had and the timing worked out perfect. Thanks, Geoff!
