Missionaries to Ecuador

Bond Ministries

This page and all its links are a look back on our time in Ecuador -
these ministries are all in the hands of Ecuadorian believers now.

We are not materially active in any of these ministries as of 2015.


We left this up as a means of sharing our previous ministry in Ecuador, as well as a nostalgic trip for those who were involved.

This is our current website for Utah Missions.

Who We Are

God called us, first to the Mission field in Quito, Ecuador... and now Utah.
We are missionaries sent out from our home church, Oakland Baptist of Corinth, MS. Our mission organization is New Beginning Resources, based in Houston, TX.
Before leaving the United States in 2003, we were active Christians in our NE Mississippi community - through Jail Ministry, the local Food Bank, the "Light House" Foundation, the AWANA program, teaching for the local Home School Association, and as Men's Ministry Director for the Alcorn Baptist Association... even preaching as the Lord allowed.

I believe that if we are in Christ, we are into missions. The Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20) is our standard in ministry. GO... BAPTIZE... TEACH... with the main imperative command being MAKE DISCIPLES. Within this focus, our emphasis is enabling Ecuadorians to do the work of the ministry, not doing it for them... creating soldiers for the Lord right here in Ecuador!

The Work

"God has brought us to a place of service using our gifts... Deborah is using her ability in Art; I am using my gifts of administration and teaching in obedience to the Great Commission.

Debbie has a wonderful Art Ministry, spreading God's message of hope through art. Rod is involved in training and equipping local Christians who have a heart for the Great Commission; evangelizing, discipling, and planting Christian communities where none existed before. How exciting to live out the New Testament!



Senders

Our whole heart is to serve the Lord; He has called us to the Mission Field, and we are there. But we need you on His team with us to make it possible. Our ministry is totally "faith based"; meaning that we are responsible for raising our own support. The blunt truth is that we can't stay unless you help us. We would ask you to please:

1. Pray about whether God wants you to be a part of this ministry team as a sender: as a committed, regular prayer partner... even as a monetary support partner.

2. If God speaks to your heart about being a monetary partner, pray about how much, and when to start. If you are committing to be a prayer partner, PRAY FOR US REGULARLY! Specifically for support raising, general preparation, sale of our home, and continued good health.

3. Contact us by email, phone, or send your contribution to New Beginning Resources, Inc. The address, phone numbers, and email are listed below. 100% of your tax-deductible donations go directly to our ministry! NBRI is a wonderful organization with a heart for missions and missionaries.



Contributions to our ministry should be made out to NBRI with a note stating that it is for the Bond family.

Commentary

I believe that if we are in Christ, we are into missions. We are willing to accept that calling and put our family on the line... would you be willing to be a sending member of this ministry God has put together? A real and integral part of a ministry reaching God's children here? The senders are as critical a part of God's mission ministry as the ones going. Won't you please pray about accepting this challenge, and seize the opportunity for God's blessings as a partner in His desire for us to reach the unreached & underprivileged of Ecuador? God Bless you all!
