The Guesthouse is a hospitality ministry primarily for short-term mission teams and missionary families. Short-term mission teams with many different organizations, including our own (OMS), stay at the house throughout the year. The house is also used a lot by missionaries in Ecuador who work outside the city - when they need to come to Quito for legal reasons (Visas, Passports, or other paperwork) or they need to stay for a night or two before leaving the country. We do not use the house for tourist or business reasons - there must be some connection to missionary work or to a missionary to stay here.
