It's official! For those of you that don't know I'm headed to Ecuador as a Missionary Associate to work alongside the Penleys and help with the national ministry RUE (Reaching the Universities of Ecuador) for 2 years! It's really happening, and if everything goes as I'm praying that it will, I will be making my final preparations to head off to language school in about 70 days (give or take)! Hence the 70/70 campaign! I have 70 days to raise the remaining 70% of my budget in order to leave in time for the next trimester of language school. When I first realized that, I was a little overwhelmed, but then I read a Facebook post I made 3 years ago to the day, and I realized God is in the business of making impossible things possible. Here is the post...
Little did I know 3 years ago, that I would be standing here today about to embark on the biggest journey of my life so far, and fulfilling one of the biggest promises He gave me many years ago. I've learned that if we put our hope in Him, He is faithful to fulfill His promises (Heb. 10:23)! This next 2 and a half months is going to be a crazy and wild ride, but I have such a peace that I'm where God wants me to be.
So what will I be doing exactly? Once I get on the ground in Ecuador, I will be helping with the ins and outs that come along with running a national ministry. RUE is the first ministry of its kind in Ecuador to specifically reach out to the college generation right on their own campuses. We will be training, and discipling students to reach out to the lost and hurting on their campuses and within their own communities. My role will be to facilitate the leadership development aspect of these campus groups, and to assist with short term teams coming to work alongside of us. In short, I will be very busy, but I'm so excited to see what God has in store!
Even though, I'm ready to be there now, I can't make this endeavor happen on my own. That's where all of you come in! Some of you may never be able to set foot in Ecuador, or even any other foreign land to spread the Gospel, but you can be a part of the team of people that will be impacting generations throughout Ecuador. If you have not already, I would love for you to consider how God may be calling you personally to partner with me through prayer and finances. So far, I have raised about 30% of my overall budget, and I need to be 100% funded before I am allowed to leave for the field. This task seems great, but with the help of God and a community of people surrounding me, nothing is too big. I would be honored if you would consider joining my team!
The easiest way to partner with me is to visit my website at s1.ag.org/kmontague and click on the link "Give Now." If you would like to be a part of my prayer team please contact me and let me know, and I will add you to my group! I have been meeting and talking with people about this great opportunity that God has placed before me. If you are interested in learning more, or just want to sit down and chat about what God is doing already through RUE, feel free to contact me, and I would be more than happy to meet up with you at your convenience. I look forward to partnering with each of you as we Reach the Universities of Ecuador!

** Just as a note of encouragement, if 200 people commit to giving just $10 a month, my monthly commitment goal would be met fully, so no matter how big or small, it all adds up and helps immensely!
