CATALINA TATE

Serving in Quito, Ecuador

---

I am from Ecuador, and Daphne is the place I have called home since 2014. After coming to Christ through a church planting effort in Quito, I received my call to missions, to serve the Lord and proclaim His goodness and salvation to all the nations. “Declaring the praises of him who called me out of darkness into his wonderful light” (1 Peter 2:9).

I have been a missionary for 24 years, first serving in Ecuador as founder and director of the first Pregnancy Resource Center. Since 2012, I have been a missionary with Globe International, serving worldwide with LIFE International, equipping pastors and ministry leaders, helping them to gain a greater understanding between the connection of the Gospel and the value of every human life. “There is nothing more valuable than human life, because we are made by God in His image. God values human beings so much that He sacrificed His Son, Jesus Christ, in order to rescue us” (LIFE International). We also serve pregnancy centers, walking alongside them in their unique calling to serve their communities, reaching out and meeting the needs of those who are facing an unplanned pregnancy or are dealing with the sorrow of an abortion decision.

I embrace discipleship as a key element in the life of every believer and being so, using the gifts God has given me of teaching, coaching, encouraging, and shepherding, I seek to encourage people and help them grow:

Individually: In closer communion with God
Corporately: Developing a trustworthy Christian community
Leading Others: To declare His goodness and expand His Kingdom
