#1: Intro Post

Hi, my name is Nathan Scarpelli, and I’m raising support for an incredible opportunity to serve as an intern with One Collective at Hacienda El Refugio in Ecuador.

This 9-month internship will allow me to work alongside a team dedicated to bringing the love and hope of Christ to the local community and everyone we encounter. I’ve had the blessing of visiting twice already, and each time I’ve felt a deep connection with the people and a clear calling from the Lord to return and serve more fully.

The funds raised will help cover travel, housing, food, and other living expenses during my time in Ecuador. Whether you feel led to support financially or through prayer, I would be incredibly grateful. Every gift, big or small, makes a difference, and your prayers mean just as much as any donation.

Thank you so much for considering being part of this journey with me!

I felt God so strongly the past year now to take this step and journey towards ecuador and a gap year in the missions field, but i also want to stress how not easy that is. That has been the hardest part of this journey is fully submitting myself to what God has planned fo...

#4: Primero Semana (1st Week)

Welcome back all, Currently sitting in the upper room named after the upper room in which Jesus sat with his disciples in Spanish. Well I wish I could say the first week was absolutely perfect and everything was amazing, but it definitely was not. The thing about getting better though is in the first week I have already learned soooo much. Obviously Spanish(lol) but also in my faith and my walk with the Lord. I really struggled the first couple days with my mindset and getting out of the "I don't wanna be here I just want to be back home with everyone I'm comfortable with". But I have learned a lot through that mindset. A lot of the stuff we have been doing has been about changing your mindset and stepping out of our zone of comfort into a zone of challenges they call it here. How are you supposed to learn if you aren't challenged and you always feel perfectly comfortable where you are? That is something I have been thinking about. Through my 13 hours of training ...
