The pages linked to on the left sidebar menu show our primary facility, the lower and upper floorplans, the overall site plan and a map of Ecuador with our location circled in white.
In early 2007, shortly after Global Love In Action had purchased the land for its facilities, we held a week long meeting in a rented villa in Ecuador for the purpose of planning the overall design and functional layout of the facility. Over that period we met every day with the architect, about half a dozen missionaries to Ecuador and other persons with professional backgrounds that aided us in the design process. As ideas were expressed the design changed day by day. And, of course, the size changed day by day.
The end result, after a week of intense planning, was the achievement of a building design that has as much or more flexibility in its potential ministry uses than any building any of us has ever seen. We truly had a team work mentality and prayed for the Lord to guide all decisions.
It is important to understand that our primary ministry area of Ecuador has no facility for protestant missionaries to call "home" when they visit the region on a misson trip. Our ministry is designed around, but obviously not limited to, providing visiting missionary teams with comforts that take a little of the stress out of what otherwise could be a most difficult environment. The environment that the mission team members work in while on the field is, to understate it, tough. We offer a refuge that, at the end of a long productive day, is satisfying both spiritually and physically.
Please look at the pages under this Section of our website and read the bullet points that itemize some of the truly exceptional amenities (for this part of the world) that we provide to our visitng missionaries. These are not opulent amenities; instead they are "comfort" amenities that provide cleanliness, santitation and a friendly resting and meeting environment in those times between excurisons to less friendly enviornments. You can join with us in our work by making a gift or monthly pledge to support our ministries.
