The Faces Ministry was founded in 2003 by Church of God Missionaries, Teresa & Dan Susong. Teresa began talking to the shoe shine boys and child candy sellers wandering the streets in Quito, Ecuador, and soon discovered they were working simply to help their poor Indian families survive. Most had dropped out of school due to lack of funds and the stigma of being from Ecuador’s lowest class, the Quichua Indians. With no budget to begin a project, the Susongs, along with two other families, began meeting with the children to feed them a hot meal, teach them the word of God, and show them love and respect.

Child labor in Ecuador is is no small problem. The Ecuadorian goverment say's that out of a country population of 13 million 1 million are working children. So the need is great and we are happy you have come to visit us and considering helping our poor working children. God bless you as you surf our site and take in the sites and sounds of children in need.
