Oregon Region Pilgrimage to Ecuador

The Oregon Region, who have been in partnership with FEDICE in Ecuador for almost a decade, took a work trip to Ecuador, July 12 to July 24 2012. They worked in Cachimuel community/church which is just south of Otavalo. Rick Ikeda, the Second Vice Moderator of the General Assembly of the Disciples of Christ, was the group leader.

Several trip participants created blogs:
