The Ackerets arrived on the field in September of 2020. Their first year was spent learning under the ministry of veteran missionaries in the city of Manta. God then directed them to begin church planting in the city of Quito. Mark and Ashley, have two children: Weston, and Brooklyn. The Ackerets endeavor to plant reproducing, independent, local churches, formally train national pastors, and integrate missions’ aviation into their church planting work. The Lord enabled them to inaugurate Iglesia Biblica Bautista Lumbrera on July 3, 2022.

Field Info
Ecuador was the last country in South America to open its doors to the truth of the Gospel. Corruption, crime, greed, debt, and political turmoil have left in its wake a people bound in sin and searching for freedom. The Lord has directed us to minister in Ecuador’s capital, Quito.Quito is dramatically located high in the Andes mountains. Home to over two million people, modern skyscrapers and colonial Spanish architecture mix with the stunning greenery of the surrounding volcanic peaks. As the Lord leads, our goal is to plant Biblical, independent, local churches in Ecuador that, in turn, reach and teach others (both in Ecuador and abroad) in obedience to the Great Commission.
