Wellington is a missionary from Puerto Misahualli, in the Amazon jungle of Ecuador. After he finished high school, Wellington played guitar and sang at his church and helped a religious sister with catechism classes for the kids. In 2018, he started serving in a mission with a priest in another part of Ecuador. His main ministry was serving with the youth group and encouraging them to perform works of charity and do what they can to help the local parish in its needs.

In 2019, at the age of 21, Wellington came to Picota, Peru, to serve as a missionary volunteer. It was difficult for him to leave his home country and Kichuwa culture, but the Lord gave him a lot of peace. He served alongside Peruvian and American missionaries throughout the pandemic and six-month quarantine in Peru in 2020. He packed up and delivered food to thousands of families in 19 of the 23 surrounding towns of the area, then traveled to Lima to help bring food to those living in greater destitution than those in the Amazon.

After a one-year break, Wellington returned to Peru in September 2022 and serving throughout the following year in the same small farming town of Tingo de Ponasa. This time, he animated the youth group, organizing weekly meetings and bringing them out to serve the needs of the poor in their own community. He used his musical talents to play and sing praise and worship at weekly “alabanzas” (praises) at the church in Tingo as well as in a poorer village 45 minutes away.

Currently, Wellington is serving once again in his home country of Ecuador. He and his fiancée, Anna, are preparing to be married in May 2024.
