Missions

East Hill is a congregation that believes strongly in supporting the work that goes on in the mission field, both foreign and domestic. In December of 2011, we committed to partnering with Josh and Julie Marcum, full time missionaries serving in Quito, Ecuador. The Marcums began working with Operation Ecuador in February of 2011, after serving 5 years as missionaries in Cochabamba, Bolivia. Josh became the director for the Quito School of Biblical Studies in 2014.
Both Josh and Julie are 2001 graduates of York College and served as former East Hill Youth Interns. They have 3 daughters, Michaela Grace, Eliana Joy, and Jana Faith, and one son, Enoch Kent. The Marcums are overseen and partially supported by the Livonia congregation in Livonia, Michigan.
Operation Ecuador is an umbrella organization that connects several US-supported mission efforts. It began in 1989 in Quito, the capital city of Ecuador with a population over 2 million. Operation Ecuador has grown to include many facets of ministry of which thousands of people have been baptized as a direct result of this outreach. For the last few years, East Hill has sent adult mission teams over the new year break and teen mission groups every other year at the beginning of the summer break.
