The online company Ministry Ideaz has supplied quality materials geared specifically to the needs of Jehovah’s Witnesses for over 15 years. Founded by a husband-and-wife team of kingdom publishers volunteering to serve in a region of particular need, the company is based in Quito, Ecuador. The entire Ministry Ideaz staff also consists of dedicated Witnesses, with customer support and administration team members working remotely from their homes in the United States, Mexico, and Canada.
In keeping with the Witnesses focus on sharing the Truth as widely as possible, the company’s founder has additionally spent time volunteering in rural Ecuador, in the small community of Chillanes in particular.
With a total population of approximately 17,000, Chillanes Canton is situated in a relatively remote part of Bolivar province. The country as a whole continues to experience high rates of poverty with a great need for community service workers in multiple areas.
Jehovah’s Witness pioneers and missionaries have a long-standing relationship with Ecuador, with the international group serving some 900 local congregations and providing Biblical literature in the country’s indigenous Quechua and Shuar languages, and in Ecuadorian sign language as well.
