Origins
Jorge Bolivar Villacis, an Ecuadorean, discovered the Free Methodist Church while working in Lawrence, Massachusetts. When Villacis returned to Ecuador following theological training, he started a Free Methodist Church in downtown Guayaquil in August of 1981. In 1983 the work became a mission district under Free Methodist World Missions. Present Ministries
The Ecuadorian Mission District was reorganized in 1998 with the city of Quito becoming the center of the ministry. Pastoral and lay training programs are located in three sites: Quito, Esmeraldas and Guayaquil. Director Manuel Rosero and his wife, Elvia, oversee the several churches in Quito, as well as the coastal cities. Opportunities to support Ecuador ministries Learn more about Ecuador
