At the commencement of three New Years, the years 2000, 2003 and 2007, I received the same Word from the same Scripture from the Lord. The message was clear. One day I would be called upon to support a Bible College. These calls came to me while I was still in South Africa involved in my ministry – Rest-a-While Cancer Ministries. Ten years and ten days later, on 10 January, 2011, in Ecuador, the Cotacachi Bible College  was birthed!
