Segundo día en El Salvador y lo
empezamos con el desayuno. Luego devocional con Francesca y adoración. Luego nos preparamos para nuestro ministerio
en una comunidad. Mientras unos ayuden en el almuerzo, otros van de casa en casa
a visitar y orar por familias. Es muy especial este tiempo. Luego llegan los
niños al comedor y es muy alegre compartir con ellos, conocerlos, y orar por
los alimentos con ellos. Después almorzamos y realizamos una caminata de
oración por la comunidad, y en cada esquina leemos un capitulo del evangelio de
San Marcos y oramos por los habitantes del lugar. Así transcurre la tarde y
empezamos el regreso a la base y tenemos tiempo para organizar las actividades
del siguiente día. Es una bendición que personas nos reconozcan por nuestro
testimonio y que les dejemos una semilla sembrada en su corazón. Eso es obra
del Espirito Santo que esta con nosotros día a día.

comienza con el desayuno. Luego devocional con Brayan y luego intercesión con
Juan. Lamentando la enfermedad de Courtney y Francesca. Luego vamos a la casa
de los chicos para hacer trabajitos y resulta muy divertido. Luego regresamos
para almorzar y prepararnos para ir a la Universidad Nacional del Salvador y
evangelizar, uno a uno. Resulta muy sorprendente ver como son abiertos a
recibir la palabra de Dios. Fue una experiencia muy agradable y regresamos muy
contentos. Después cenamos y tuvimos una reunión para planificar lo del siguiente
día. En la noche tuvimos un ministerio con prostitutas y homosexuales, y
entendimos que ellos sean lo que sean, son hijos de Dios, oramos, les
compartimos una galleta y gaseosa y regresamos a la base porque es muy
peligroso estar en la calle muy tarde. Que Dios cambie la situación en El
Salvador.

Terminamos nuestra primera semana en
El Salvador con muchas bendiciones. Este día lo iniciamos con nuestro desayuno.
Después iniciamos nuestro camino para ir a una aldea a evangelizar y participar
en el servicio de la iglesia que nos proporcionaron energía eléctrica, allí
compartimos dramas, testimonios y aunque tuvimos varios inconvenientes nada nos
detuvo para ir a dar la palabra de Dios. Luego almorzamos y nos preparamos para
el servicio. Allí compartimos un drama, luego Juan dio su testimonio y
reflexión. Todos los hermanos pasaran para orar por ellos. Fue muy emocionante.
Algo que nos llamo la atención es que todas las personas de esa aldea son muy
amables y muy abiertas para escucharlo a uno. Que dios bendiga a esta aldea. By Courtney
June 8th
We are in El Salvador! Our first morning here was spent
painting. As a team we had fun painting together. In the afternoon we went to a
poor neighborhood where the girls of the team helped teach English to little
kids and the boys of the team shared with the adults of the community.
Francesca and I helped teach children ages six and younger the colors, numbers,
and fruits in English. We played several games to help them remember what we
taught them and had fun jumping up and down, running around, and coloring with
the kids.
June 9th
Today we spent our day helping with a feeding program in
a near by community. Part of our team left to visit families near by in the
community for part of the morning. We prayed for a beautiful woman who asked us
for prayer for doubts she is having about her faith in God. She also asked for
prayer for her husband who is struggling with alcohol and the affect that is
having on her and her two sons. We talked with her and her family and were able
to encourage and will continue to pray for them. We returned to the feeding
program help serve lunch to over 50 children. We served them a healthy lunch of
rice, beans, eggs, and tortillas along with lemonade. We then split into two
groups and went for a prayer walk around the community. At each corner we stopped
to read a portion of scripture. One group read the book of Mark, the other the
book of Ephesians.
June 10th
Today, both of the girls were sick and did not join the
rest of the team for the day's activities. The boys spent the morning doing
work duties at the house they are staying at. In the afternoon the team went
and did one on one evangelism at a public university. They had a great time
learning the students stories as well as sharing the word of God with them and
praying for them. They talked to students who were Catholics, some who were
having doubts about the existence of the God of the Bible. They also talked
with prayed for, and encouraged two girls who have the desire to be
missionaries in the future.
June 11th
Today we had the opportunity to share dramas and
testimonies at a Christian School. We performed some new dramas and each member
of the team shared their testimony. Francesca was still not feeling well and
stayed back at the base. After the presentations, we invited the students to
come up if they needed prayer for anything. It was a blessing to see many of
the students come forward and wrap their arms around one another and pray for
each other as we prayed over all of them. In the afternoon we went to a
hospital and gave cookies and coffee to people in the waiting room of the
hospital. We then asked if we could pray for them. We prayed for two mothers
whose sons had been in accidents. One of the sons was still in a coma. We
prayed for complete healing for both of their sons. Brayan began to preach to
the people and prayed for and encouraged many of them.
June 12th
Today we left early in the morning for a village over
three hours away. We rode to the village with the wife of the pastor of the
church we were going to be working with. After driving up a very bumpy road,
getting a flat tire, and changing the tire, we arrived in the village. We first
visited families and prayed for them, and then put on dramas and gave
testimonies at a house in the middle of the village. We prayed for a mother
whose daughter is in the United States and is facing trouble with immigration.
We also prayed for the father of this family and encouraged them to seek God
and attend a church. We then went to the church service where we were received
warmly and worshipped along with the congregation. We put on a drama, and Juan
preached a message. We then invited the people of the church to come forward
for prayer. Almost the entire church came forward and let us have the blessing
of praying for them. We then ate a delicious dinner at the home of the pastors.
June 14th
Today was a long but great day! We left early in the
morning to work all day at the church of the pastors we met on Friday. In the
morning we shared stories and played games with around fifty children from the
surrounding village. In the afternoon we walked around the town and invited
people to the church service that night. At the church service we shared dramas
and testimonies and a preaching on our identity in Christ as Christians. After
the message we prayed for members of the church who came forward to receive
prayer. The presence of the Holy Spirit was strong and it was a time of
encouragement for many members of the church. After the service we again went
to the pastors house for dinner. We celebrated Francesca's 21st birthday with a
dinner of pupusas followed by cake.
July 15th
Today our morning was spent painting a school. In the
afternoon we split the children into two groups and shared dramas, testimonies,
and the gospel message with each group. We were able to share with the students
about the life they can have in Christ. We were told that many of the children
came from difficult circumstances at home. We will be returning to the same
school to minister again tomorrow and are praying that God will be opening the
hearts of the children.
