December 2025 Newsletter

In this month’s edition:

• Spend time with the Zolas in Atlanta

• Hear from Love and Hope Foundation supporter, Jimmy LeCraw

YEAR-END CAMPAIGN KICK-OFF: TAKE THE NEXT STEP

Right now in Quito, more than 400 students are receiving quality education and food in a Gospel-centered environment. Students are taking their next step toward following Jesus and pursuing their dreams. Now, we’re inviting you to take your next step, too. 

Our December fundraising goal is $120,000, which is equivalent to six months of support. Imagine having six months of your bills covered before starting the new year! With such generous support, Pancho and Pitty can have the margin they need to focus on leading AyE staff and students toward Jesus. 

Would you prayerfully consider donating today? You’ve helped us make it this far. It’s time to take the next step. 

THE ZOLAS ARE IN ATLANTA

The Zola family is in Atlanta now through December 8! You can spend some time with them this week by attending one of the following events:

• Whitefield Academy is hosting the Zolas today (12/3) in the Wolfpack Den from 7-9 pm. All Whitefield Academy parents and students are welcome!

• Lee Martin is hosting a brunch at his house this Saturday (12/6) from 10:30 am - 12:00 pm. All are welcome! No need to RSVP — simply show up to spend time with Pancho and Pitty and hear about the work God is doing through AyE. More info below. 

HEAR HOW JIMMY LECRAW TOOK THE NEXT STEP

While at Whitefield Academy, Jimmy had the opportunity to join the Ecuador Mission Trip from 2007-2009. Through that experience, Jimmy chose to sponsor a child whose journey he followed all the way through graduation from AyE and even afterwards where the student got a job in the IT sector in Ecuador.
