Friends Ministering in Ecuador
The Duda Family

Paul and Lana Duda, missionaries to Ecuador, South America, have a vision for new church planting and training of national workers. They believe the KEY to their success will hinge on the PRAYER SUPPORT they receive. They are looking for prayer warriors who will share their vision for the harvest in Latin America and follow through with intercession.

Paul and Lana prior to missionary appointment pioneered and pastored Elim Assembly of God in Bath, Maine, and, Paul also served as Administrative Assistant to the Superintendent of Northern New England. For four years, Paul assisted churches throughout the district in building programs, providing architectural plans and other building related services. Ecuador is a country about the size of the state of Colorado. It is wedged between Colombia and Peru on the northwestern corner of South America. Two chains of the Andes Mountains run through the country reaching a height of more than 20,000 feet. With 99% of Quito still perishing, the work is urgent. Paul and Lana believe that the breath of God has only begun to blow on Ecuador's roughly 10.5 million citizens. The Dudas will be ministering in a city where more than a million lost souls are packed into an area 2 miles wide and 15 miles long. The need for evangelical revival is great. The Dudas are praying that they will be used to help bring about such a revival. While Studying the Spanish language in Cost Rica in 1991, the Duda's youngest son Josiah was struck by a speeding taxi and miraculously saved. They believe that the prayers of the saints were vital and instrumental to this miracle.
