We are pleased to communicate that missing student from Taylor University Luke Dornon was located near the El Cajas National Park at a refugee station last night. He had spent Sunday night lost in the park and made his way out sometime Monday. Luke was treated at a local hospital for hypothermia and dehydration, but was otherwise unhurt.
He plans to return to the Taylor Ringers team in Cuenca today. They will resume their concert schedule on Wednesday in Shell, Ecuador, before traveling on to Quito for the remainder of their stay.
We thank God for this news and for the answers to many fervent prayers offered throughout the course of the day on Monday.
The Original Release from the Taylor University on Luke Dornon
Taylor University officials have learned that freshman physics engineering student Luke Dornon, who is in Ecuador on a Taylor Ringers hand bell ensemble spring break trip, is missing. The Ringers, along with Taylor biology students, were visiting Cajas National Park about 20 miles from Cuenca Sunday afternoon, when Luke failed to return to the bus following a hike around a lake in the park. He was last seen around 4:00 p.m. local time.
Please be in prayer for Luke, the search party, and Luke's fellow students in Ecuador, along with his family and friends. We will post additional details as they become available.
