À propos de cet ebook

A Heart For Imbabura: The Story of Evelyn Rychner is about persecution, romance, celebration—of the life and ministry of Evelyn Rychner, missionary to Ecuador, has it all. In spite of danger, hostility and indifference, God finally broke through in Imbabura Province."Slowly and deliberately Evelyn shoved the blazer into first gear and edged it forward, bodies against bumper; man against metal. Bloodshot eyes flashed hatred. Fists and clubs pummeled the vehicle. Evelyn tightened her grip on the steering wheel. With eyes locked on some point directly ahead, she pushed through the crowd and hurried on up the lonely road. A sigh of relief and a prayer of thanksgiving escaped her lips as she finally turned into the Mission compound. It had been a close call, and so near home, too. There had been too many close calls lately."  Today, over 8000 Otavalan Indian believers in 20 churches lift up the Name of the Risen Christ in the Heart of Imbabura. They are living testimony to the faithfulness and commitment of some of God's choicest servants, among them Evelyn Rychner.
