I was wondering to myself today, do we have any missionary bloggers in Ecuador? Sure enough, we do. Adventures in Ecuador is the blog of Jeff and Kelly Haanen. Actually, the Haanens’ blog is more of a photo journal. The photos range from beautiful shots of the rain forest to city pictures to pictures of culture and food, along with photos of the Haanens themselves.

Some of my recent favourites include these rainforest shots, these nature shots from a “beautiful little hideaway in the Andes mountains”, and on the more unusual side these photos of a food in Ecuador which we call guinea pigs (yikes!).
It’s worth going through the archives to see some of the older photos, by the way.
I did a little digging (ok, .7 seconds at a search engine) and found an article featuring this couple. Get to know the Haanens a little by reading Wedded Journeys | From “I do” to mission field, via wilderness or white-water by Christopher Lewis.
Jeff and Kelly are from the USA, and are currently involved in Leadership and Youth ministry as missionaries in Ecuador. Stop by and comment on their blog!

Dear Missionary-Blogs.com,
Kelly and I want to thank you for doing a feature on our website. You did an awesome job describing our experiences and we are humbled that you would pay attention to our time in Ecuador. We are now leaving Ecuador in a matter of weeks, but we have still been updating it all year (check the updates out!). Hopefully some of the photos or stories can be encouraging to other young couples considering the mission field.
Thanks again,
Jeff Haanen
