In Ecuador

The first pastoral trip of The Movement of the Word of God to Ecuador took place in May 1995. By grace of God, a bond was established with the Marian movement Guardian of Faith. Several brothers from this country participated of two Easter retreats in Argentina. Some groups of the Movement started meeting in Quito. Mgr. Julio Terán Dutari, auxiliary bishop in Quito, paid an eight-day visit to the Movement in Córdoba and Buenos Aires cities. Some time later he was named as adviser to the Movement, by the present Cardinal Archbishop of Quito, Mgr. Antonio González.

In March 1999, a Missionary Associated Community settled down in Quito; it consists of three consecrated laywomen, and a family.

At present this Pastoral Center is made up of 136 people who meet in 11 communitarian groups: 4 groups de adultos, 4 de edad intermedia y 3 de jóvenes. Además se atienden otras realidades pastorales: 1 group of Communitarian Process for Confirmation, 1 group of Crecimiento en la Fe, and some semillitas misioneras en las ciudades de Guayaquil, Pedro Carbo e Ibarra.
