"I had the privilege of participating with Reaching and Teaching Ministries on a short-term trip to Quito, Ecuador. The experience was priceless and I will carry the memories from this trip for the rest of my life. Reaching and Teaching Ministries is a gospel-centered, God-glorifying, Christ-proclaiming missions organization that rightly emphasizes evangelism and discipleship. I trust that our labor in Ecuador done through RTIM will bear lasting fruit."
-Matthew Emadi, RTIM Short-term Mission Trip Participant, 2011.

"The group of about 20 pastors was hungry for the Word of God. We were in the town of Tambo in the mountains of central Ecuador teaching them 8 hours a day for a week. Walking away at the end of the week was one of the harder things I've done in my life. The need for pastoral training among indigenous church leaders worldwide is so great. The vision of Dr. David Sills and Reaching & Teaching International Ministries is to meet that need. I strongly encourage you to go and give what you have been given."
-Mark Bass, RTIM Short-term Mission Trip Participant, 2010
