This episode Coffee with the Bishop goes international! The bishop and a group from EDUSC recently spent time in Iglesia Episcopal del Ecuador - Diócesis Central (The Episcopal Diocese of Central Ecuador) based in Quito. While there, he sat down with Brenda Martinez, founder of Health Initiatives, a partner of education=hope (e=h).


Hear Brenda's story about her ongoing journey of faith from a teenager whose grandmother prodded her to attend church on Sundays to discovering her place in the church as a lay volunteer translator to a vital part of the body of Christ bringing dignity and hope to her community.


Inside you'll hear:

  • Bishop Daniel's account of the visit (including our visitation team getting decimated by a young friend at UNO)
  • Brenda's connection to Holy Cross, Simpsonville
  • Brenda's English tutor (the American TV show Friends)
  • What ways our work in the States helps our friends in Quito
  • How you can get involved
