Summer
Ministry at Unsion TV in Cuenca, Ecuador
Last
month, I was blessed with the opportunity to join my brother
Josh and the Michigan District AIM team to minister with
missionary Bill McDonald and the Unsion Television Network in
Cuenca, Ecuador. For 10 days, we partnered with Bill's national
staff to minister in street evangelism, a week-long vacation
Bible school, and participation in both youth and adult
services, and on live-television broadcasting to over 35,000
people!

Unsion is one of the great
Latin American Media Ministries and I was so excited to
have the opportunity to spend some time in their studios
observing and discussing the many ways we can share
programming while emulating their format and technique at
our local stations in Argentina. Thank you for your
support which enables us to continue growing media
ministry in Argentina and throughout Latin America.
The
Backstory
In August of 1994 at the age of 16, I went on my first national
AIM trip; we were working with Bill and his church in Cuenca.
Bill was starting King's Castle in Ecuador and had asked Don
Triplett to send a small group of his strongest team members to
spend a month training his core staff. The day we arrived in
Cuenca, the team was there to meet us; Michelle was part of that
group from El Salvador sent to train Bill's team. As I climbed
off the bus, I was greeted at the door by a 16-year-old Michelle
Triplett, and the rest is history!
Our wedding rings are even engraved with "From
Cuenca to Eternity".
When we were missionary associates in El Salvador, transitioning
into full-appointment, the Unsion Television Network based in
Cuenca, was one of the ministry teams we seriously prayed about
joining. In the end, we strongly felt God wanted us in Buenos
Aires, and now, six years later, we can see part of the plan God
had for us here in Argentina.
