our history

In 2015, YOM sent its first missions team to Ecuador, led by Dr. Alvarez. In subsequent years, Mr. Méndez returned to teach ESL in public and private schools and to share the gospel wherever possible. Micah and Amber Bowman led our ESL trip in 2019, which had a special emphasis on creation apologetics, before COVID struck the next year.

Highlights from past trips

  • In 2018, Mr. Méndez, Miss Hurst, and Mr. Bomske led a team of 20 members to Ecuador. During this trip, we were able to travel to three cities.
  • We traveled first to Guayaquil and worked alongside Missionaries Richard and Anna Hurst.
  • We then traveled to Quito, worked in several schools there for five days, and held a camp.
  • We then traveled to the Galapagos Islands and worked with Missionaries Danny and Raquel Richardson in a public school and in their ministry there.

YOM is planning its 6th mission trip to Galapagos this summer. Please pray about joining our team!
