Dear family and friends,

I hope this letter finds you and your family well, and staying healthy! I have some exciting news to share, and I want you to be one of the first to know. God willing, I am returning to Ecuador 13 May through 22nd May 2025 for a medical mission trip as one of the PA medical providers on the team. 

I am delighted that God has called me into missions work, and I am excited to extend health care to those in greatest need. e3 Partners has been serving in Ecuador since 2010, and God has been moving all around the country. On this trip, we are planning to serve in Riobamba, located in the Chimborazo province high in the mountains. This area is one of the central homes of the indigenous Quechua people of Ecuador. The last time an e3 Partners trip went to Riobamba was in 2017. Quechua people traveled two hours to come to the medical clinics in July 2023. There is much poverty in this region, and many people far from God. We plan to tangibly show the love of Jesus Christ through free medical clinics, eyeglass clinics, children's ministry, as well as prayer and evangelism. Please join us as we follow the Lord's leaders to love one another in Riobamba, Ecuador. Our medical team will provide basic care and health education as well as open more opportunities to introduce people to Christ.

I have been blessed to have been chosen for this opportunity, but there is a lot of preparation ahead over the next 5 months. I need your help! 

First I would be honored if you would pray for our team: for our preparation, our journey, our ministry, and for the spiritual battles surely ahead. 

Secondly, I need help with raising financial support for my trip. The cost of the trip is $2,950 and I am praying for $1425 to be raised by 1 February 2025, and for all support to be raised by 1 April 2025. Would you prayerfully consider supporting me as we share the gospel and serve those in need?

If you would like to partner with me, there are a couple of options to do so. You can send a check with the provided donation form and envelope to e3Partners. You may also donate online via my fundraising link page at:https://www.purecharity.com/fundraisers/kristen-jardines-fundraiser-for-riobamba-ecuador-1?aff=14gri.  All donations made through e3Partners are tax deductible.

Please know that I would love to talk with you and answer any questions you may have about this mission trip. Your support means the world to me. Thank you for praying for this mission trip and for considering being a part of my team!

In Christ,

Kristen Jardine
