Prof. Joselito from the Ecuador Baptist Seminary in Quito finds time to go to the Indigenonous community to teach the students in their environment away from the city. The students normally sacrifice to travel great distances every two months for a week to get doctrinal teachings and prepared for the work of the Lord. It is a big sacrifice economically leaving their families and their work losing a weeks income which is very minimal. Prof. Joselito decided to bring the teachings to their community to help with the costs. Every day they gathered from 8-5 for theological teachings and worshiping in the evening with preaching from 7-10 p.m. "As we go" we must disciple and train for soon He is coming.
