Yesterday, we flew to El Salvador with a team of seven people to see all that the Lord is doing here as well as in Nicaragua and Honduras. We hope to see ways our church can get involved in what God is doing in Central America.
This dear, humble, passionate couple is leading our trip. They've been coming to Central America for 9 years and have been a part of many amazing things happening throughout Central America.

We are meeting the people they love, visiting schools, orphanages, food centers, as well as encouraging the field workers this week. Monday we spent the day with this dear family. He is from the States, she is from El Salvador. They built this mission from the ground up.
The students eager to greet us when we arrived
visiting classrooms- this 3rd grader is doing advanced multiplication and wants to be an engineer
A class of aspiring doctors- they are hard workers
We served over 200 kids here for a special lunch
Lunch cooking
They held an assembly for us
the kindergardeners did a skit about Noah's Ark
the high schoolers did a skit about being a teen in El Salvador, where violence is prominent. They were showing how God rescues those enslaved and bears the penalty for that enslavement upon himself
this little boy came to sit on my lap during the assembly
during a walk down the road
a taxi
we visited a couple homes, including this one. For water, they have a pipe running into a cistern they built outside their home. Since the city controls when they have water and they don't know the schedule, they fill up the cistern when possible and then hope that water doesn't run out when it is turned off. This water is used for everything- bathing, washing clothes, drinking...
