It Is Written’s Ecuador Mission Trip to Guayaquil offers a transformative outreach opportunity from December 10–21, 2025  . Designed for a diverse team of 1 to 35 participants, this trip invites individuals and families to serve through evangelism, children’s ministry, medical outreach, and construction—all woven together under a heart for sharing the gospel.

Purpose & Outreach Scope

• Evangelism: Conduct meetings at five local churches—five team members will be selected to preach, supported by translators  .

• Children’s Programs: Evening VBS-style sessions offering engaging Bible lessons.

• Medical Clinics: Health fair–style clinics addressing community wellness. Non‑medical volunteers assist in organization  .

• Construction Projects: Light building and repair work to support church and clinic facilities.

Team Composition

Seeking:

• ~5 evangelism speakers (open to all willing to share, not necessarily experienced preachers)

• ~5 health talk presenters (medical background not required)

• ~5 children’s program leaders

• Additional support volunteers for clinics, outreach, and construction  .

Itinerary & Logistics

• Travel: Participants must arrive in Guayaquil (GYE) by December 10 and depart on or after December 21  .

• Accommodations & Meals: Lodging in local hotels with roommate-style rooms (option for private rooms at extra cost), all meals included in the package; bring extra snacks for dietary needs .

• In-Country Setup: Ground transport, insurance cover, and resources for clinics and evangelism are included  .

• Passport & Entry: U.S. passport required; visas not needed. Ecuador operates on USD, electric outlets are types A/B—no adapters necessary  .

Cost & Fees

• Adults: $1,500 (includes lodging, meals, transport, insurance, mission materials, custom T‑shirt, and mission gift box)  .

• Children 8–14: $750; Ages 0–7: $175 (must room with a parent/chaperone)  .

• Deposit: $50 due upon registration; final payment by November 1, 2025 .

• Add-ons: Airfare, personal expenses ($200–400 recommended), and baggage fees.

Trip Goals & Spiritual Focus

• Evangelistic Impact: Reach communicants through church services and community meetings.

• Holistic Service: Offer physical healing via clinics and practical help through construction.

• Children’s Discipleship: Plant gospel seeds in families and youth.

• Spiritual Growth: Team members are encouraged to engage fully in ministry roles, prayer, and reflection.

• Cultural Engagement: Serve in Ecuador’s largest city, observing both urban setting and nearby coastal experiences  .

Registration & Preparation

• Begin by downloading the program brochure and completing the deposit by November 1, 2025.

• Following registration, you’ll receive a confirmation email, then Zoom briefings, travel booking guidance, vaccination/medical checklists, and packing advice.

• Butler Travel (Oregon) is available to assist with flight arrangements for a small fee  .

• For medical concerns, check CDC guidelines and consult your physician 4–6 weeks before departure  .

• Cancellation may qualify for a refund if done early; a 25% fee applies once accommodations or services are booked .

Why This Trip Stands Out

• The blend of evangelism, health outreach, and construction provides multiple avenues for meaningful contribution.

• Personalized worship experience in diverse church settings.

• Comprehensive support—logistics, materials, translators—so volunteers can focus on service.

• Opportunity for families to serve together.
