Ecuador

Ecuador … is Located in South America… on the Western edge of the Continent. is bordered by the Pacific Ocean on its Coast… and it lies directly on the equator.

Facts 101 Capitol City: Quito Official Language: Spanish 2011 Population Estimate: 15,223,680 95% of the population is Roman Catholic It is one of the most climatically diverse countries in the world.

Super Interesting Facts Florida & Ecuador are in the same time zone. The sun rises at 6 am & sets at 6 pm every day all year long throughout the whole country. The entire country of Ecuador would fit inside the state of Colorado. Within that Size, they have ocean coast & beaches, the Andes mountain range, flat plains, rainforests, & jungles.

One of the many active volcanoes, with a beautiful landscape in the background.

Shell Mera, Ecuador The town of Shell-Mera was first established in 1937 as a Shell Oil Company base. It consisted of a few shacks and an air strip that was in use while the Shell Company prospected for oil. The base was located near some hostile Indian tribes. After the death of several employees from Indian attacks, the company considered the base too dangerous and abandoned it in After the Shell Oil Company withdrew from Shell-Mera, the Missionary Aviation Fellowship occupied the town, because of the value of the air strip to their missionary work and because of the closeness to Quito. It was the home base of MAF pilots Nate Saint and John Keenan.

In 1956, Nate Saint and 4 other missionaries went missing. They had been trying to reach a remote Indian tribe. After conducting several making aerial reconnaissance missions they landed, and were killed by members of the Huaorani tribe who threw their bodies in the Curaray River.

Opening a hospital in that area had been a dream of Nate Saint. In 1958, the Hospital Vozandes Del Oriente opened its doors on land that Saint had donated and worked on before his death.

TRUE reality a few steps from the casa These pictures are also a part of Shell-Mera. This is part of the community where the locals live. Every day…… Rain or shine……. And it rains…… Everyday. It is the rainforest!
