Leah Diaz: Missionary to Cuenca, Ecuador
Leah Diaz is a missionary in Cuenca, Ecuador. Leah has been
in Ecuador for five incredible years.
God has called Leah to reach alcoholics and their families through a recovery program called the April Project. Alcoholism is an immense problem in Ecuador, statistics tell us that one member of every immediate family in Cuenca is an alcoholic. The April Project is named after Leah’s mother, April, who died on April 22nd, 2012. After a lifetime of addiction and pain, she gave her heart to Jesus, was completely healed, and went to meet her Savior.
It is because of her mother’s life and the battles that she fought, that Leah continues to fight to help the people here overcome their addictions and live in the freedom that only Christ can offer.
This ministry was never part of the plan Leah thought God had for her life, but Leah has been absolutely amazed at all He has done and is continuing to do in Ecuador. He truly knows how to use our pain for His purpose.
But our missionaries can’t do what they have been called to do alone. Our partnership with them matters.
As individuals and as a church, in Matthew 28: 18-20 Jesus tells, “I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. 19 Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations,[a] baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. 20 Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age. “God into the world and make disciples. We can accomplish this great commission by supporting missionaries.
