TEAMS
“I have been connected to the work of Education Equals Hope (e=h) for many years, and my family and I help support children in Ecuador with scholarships for school. In recent years, I have had the opportunity to meet and work alongside several of those children and their families while serving on short-term mission teams in Quito, Ecuador. What a wonderful blessing to see what God is doing in the lives of those children, their families and their communities!
HOTG provides the staff, logistics and organization to connect short-term mission teams from the US to communities in Ecuador. The phrase, “people over projects” guides the work we do together, which can include construction and home repair, faith formation, children’s programs and sports, worship and fellowship, with times for group and personal reflection. Youth and adults alike have opportunity to work, make personal connections, and grow deeper in their own faith.
Thank you to e=h and Hope on the Ground for bringing our lives together!”
- The Rev. Susan Louttit-Hardaway (Anderson, South Carolina)
What happens “on the ground” in Ecuador?
Each short-term mission team’s time in Ecuador is different, since work projects and activities are tailored specifically to the team and ministry involved in the mutual relationship. However, most Hope on the Ground team experiences do include some common elements.
