Ecuador

South America

Year opened: 2005

The nearly 15 million inhabitants of Ecuador have seen seven presidents in the past decade. Political instability has rocked the nation since the economic collapse of the 1990s that devastated the economy. Changing world-market petroleum prices, combined with political instability, left the economy of Ecuador devastated in 1999. Today, 35% of the residents continue to live below the poverty line.

Ecuador is a fairly new field for The Mission Society, opened in late 2005. The growth of the evangelical church in this nation has been astounding in the past several years, and the United Methodist Church of Ecuador has extended an invitation for missionaries to help with the work. Mission Society missionaries in Ecuador minister through agricultural projects, evangelism, discipleship, community development, and coordinating short-term mission teams.
