Hi, I am Benjamin Soncco
I am Benjamin Soncco, future intern in the city of Quito, Ecuador.
I grew up in the county of Peru where my grandparents served as missionaries. I praise God to have had the privilege of living in a strong Christian home where I went to church and heard the gospel my entire childhood. Despite growing up in a Christian environment, it was not till the age of 11 that I accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Lord and Savior.
One night at church, after hearing a message on eternity I realized my sin was taking me to hell. I knew I needed a savior and His name is Jesus. I could finally grasp how much God loved me and wanted to have a relationship with me.
I am now a child of God and want to serve Him with my life! Going forward, I ask for your prayers as I serve over in the country of Ecuador for 6 months.
Ministry opportunities:
Throughout these 2 years of training in Bible College, I’ve had the privilege to
Goals/Vision for 6 months:

Why Ecuador?
The fundamental problem
The fundamental problem in Ecuador is the lack of Bible preaching churches among the entire population. Ecuador is a large country, with a population of over 17 million.
Ecuador are a very religious people
Ecuador are a very religious people however, they are void of the only thing that will give them true life, Jesus Christ. We want to do more than just give everyone a chance to hear–we want to put a church within reach of every Ecuador.
Our Vision
Our vision is to start churches and train leaders that will be able to effectively reach their own people with the gospel. We firmly believe that if people have a church, they have a chance! Nonetheless, the churches need faithful national pastors to shepherd the flock.
Recommendations
Kason Bloom
Missionary to Ecuador
Benjamin loves Jesus and wants to serve. He came down to Ecuador for a week to help us start the church. He was a huge blessing to us then and will be a huge blessing when he comes down to help serve with us for six months. He already speaks Spanish so he will be able to jump right in and help serve here in Ecuador. I would like to ask you to consider supporting him for 6 months as he comes to minister and learn more about life on the mission field.
David Gardner
Missionary to Peru
It’s been a great privilege to watch how God has grown Benjamin into the man that he is today. He is loving, kind, joyful and above all a servant. I know God will use Benjamin greatly wherever He leads him.

He has proved himself by seeing people saved and discipled. He has been involved in teaching and preaching consistently. You will be blessed to invest in this young man and the fruitful ministry God has prepared for him.

March Prayer Letter
What a month it has been! God has done incredible things, but nothing is better than seeing someone get saved in our Spanish church. Iria accepted Christ as her Lord & Savior on Sunday morning, and that brings us joy knowing she is part of God's kingdom now.

I praise God for another month to serve Him. He's been gracious and faithful.
