OUMC is in a covenant relationship with the Datwylers.  After serving with the Mission Society in Mexico for four years, the Datwylers have are now opened a new field in Ecuador.  They work with short-term teams to build churches and pastor's housing, as well as change hearts.  The Datwylers encourage and train pastors of the young Methodist church in order to better equip them to spread the message of Christ throughout Ecuador.  While in Mexico they were involved in similar ministry through teaching, discipling, construction projects, and promoting missions.
