Ecuador Mission

Fred and Arlene Jonkman serve in Quito, Ecuador in a mission overseen by the Brantford Free Reformed Church. Their primary focus is educational and family ministry, developing Reformed educational materials, teaching at conferences, and directing a Reformed Study Center. The Jonkmans have also been active in the local Grace Reformed Church in Quito. Both Fred and Arlene grew up in the Free Reformed Churches and this mission, coordinated with various Word and Deed programs, has been blessed to the deepening of the Reformed faith and network in Ecuador and other Spanish speaking South American communities. As the Jonkmans are planning soon to retire from this work, a new couple, Josh & Michelle Vogel, will be taking their place, though working in a different area in close connection with a local Christian doctor there.

I take God to be my chiefest good and highest end. I take God the Son to be my prince and Saviour. I take the Holy Ghost to be my sanctifier, teacher, guide and comforter. I take the word of God to be my rule in all my actions; and the people of God to be my people in all conditions. I do likewise devote and dedicate unto the Lord, my whole self, all I am, all I have, and all I can do. And this I do deliberately, sincerely, freely, and forever.

— Philip Henry (father of Matthew Henry)
