The Love and Power of God: Missionary Experiences in the Jungles of Ecuador by Maria Luisa J. Edwards
The book covers from the beginnings specifically to the time spend in the jungle besides evangelizing learning the peoples cultures adapting myself to them to earn their trust and going on with teaching , participating in their lives .living poor with the poor. Building communities around, training leaders in each community. Sharing the good News of Jesus Christ. One of the most rewarding dimension on the evangelize were the women. I was able to train leaders in each Community, we had 13 groups altogether and all strive and grow teaching the next generation. At the end they could take care of the youth and follow up in their group. As a group we were able to go where the Pope came to visit Ecuador, a very long trip on a bus that in the middle of nowhere broke and we had to wait for someone to come and get help.
Before I got married my friends told me to write a book about the jungle of Ecuador, the experiences in the jungle. I had 3 jobs at that time and couldn't spend time writing a book, when I
got married I have all the time to start writing a book, and my husband is very supportive about what I am doing. And I collected the letters from the sisters, I have my own diary, I decided
not just to write but I did. All the memories were flooding my mind and once in a while I visit them and keep up the memories alive and see the work that I have done or what's going
on, and I found out the work is still on and the organization continue in their own way and that is a fulfilling feeling for me.
