Melissa Newell: Newsletter October 2025

In her latest newsletter Melissa shares about getting back into routine after a busy summer. In August Melissa organised a hybrid English course-Holiday Bible Club that helped the children of Misahuallí to learn from God’s word and to improve their English, and visited a chillier-than-expected Lima, to take part in the consecration of the new Bishop of Peru.

September saw the return of the feeding-programme in Misahuallí, with an average 60-70 children coming along by October. This is made possible thanks to your generous giving through JMA in 2023-24. Melissa shared, “It’s so wonderful to see this continuing, funded for its second year (of two years) by JMA of the Methodist Church in Ireland. Each week, we pray for the people who gave the money to buy the food, so even though they don’t know it, the children in Ecuador are praying for the children in Ireland.”

Please remember Melissa in prayer as she serves as a mission partner with South American Mission Society (SAMS) Ireland in Misahuallí, Ecuador.
