Preaching in Ecuador ???

[Bible Speaks]

Quichua language public preaching in front of a large bank in Alausi, Ecuador.  In the background, next door to the bank is a small Catholic Church with a cross on the door.  

People that live in isolated Quichua speaking villages come to do banking and there is no room inside for their families so they stay outside and bored.  

We place lots of Quichua and Spanish literature to help pass their time.  However, there is no place for them to sit down.

The wheelchair ramp going up into the little church is a nice place for people to sit and read our Quichua literature.  

In the past, 4-6 family members could be seen seated and calmly absorbed in reading brochures, books and magazines.  

However, the church evidently was not pleased.  Beginning a few months ago, a diminuitive elderly lady comes out of the church on Thursdays when we are next door and tosses buckets of water on the ramp so no one can sit there.  

That being the case, we now direct those who take and want to read our literature to public benches about forty feet behind our carts. And the water?  It keeps coming out in buckets but is excellent dust suppression for the city sidewalk!  Thursday after Thursday we continue to approach the bucket lady in a mild and kind manner but she just tells us to leave and runs back into her church.  We will continue to attempt to greet her politely each week and simply ignore her dust control methods.

 Thank you
