Paul Wingfield, the pastor of White Flag Church in St. Louis, Missouri, has been in ministry since 1995. White Flag Church greatly values worldwide efforts to spread the love of Christ, and in a partnership with Compassion International and Stadia Church Planting, has raised money to support the construction of a new church in Ecuador. As a pastor, Paul Wingfield recently had the opportunity to observe the work taking place in Ecuador.
Compassion International, a Christian organization that advocates for children around the world, works with local churches to help alleviate the negative effects of spiritual, economic, social, and physical poverty. In conjunction with Stadia Church Planting, efforts are underway to build a church in Santa Elena, a small coastal town in Ecuador.
Many children in Ecuador suffer from the effects of poverty, abuse, and neglect. Compassion International has had a presence in Ecuador since 1974 and currently serves more than 70,000 children in the country.
Through Compassion International’s sponsorship programs, children receive academic and spiritual education, healthy meals, and health care. With the assistance the organization provides, children who would normally have very little hope can experience the love of Christ and grow into healthy adults.
