The Story
Beyond River's Edge explores the faithful legacy of Steve and Carol Thompson — an ordinary couple from Texas who, for decades, have been carrying the Gospel into Ecuador and the nations beyond it.
This mini-documentary captures a glimpse of their ministry in country: the people, the places, and the quiet, daily obedience that has shaped a lifetime of work on the field.
