Finished Strong

We wrapped up the El Salvador campaign in Apopa last night.  It was a great week, with more than 500 professions of faith.  

Yesterday morning we went to a "new" school and the kids were so excited to have us there.  

Don stayed with us this week, so at lunch he invited us, Koky and Ena to join him at Restaurant 168, his favorite Chinese restaurant.  

The campaign was in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Apopa and the team was able to meet Pastor Chitty for the first time.  After going door-to-door for an hour and having several kids games and time on the inflatable, the drama team performed the "Everything" drama and Harry presented the gospel (with Vladimir translating.)  

El Salvador Campaign--10/9

This morning's school outreach was really different; rather than go into two classrooms, the students came to the park next to the school.  We formed ten small groups outdoors all for the purpose of sharing the value talk of the day and, most importantly, the gospel. Being outside the classroom had a very positive impact on the students and the dynamics of the activity.  The team members were able to spend an entire hour with the students.  There were 25 seventh-grade students and 27 eighth-grade students.  Thirty-seven of them prayed to receive Christ.  

  

Tonight we held our evening campaign at the "Australia" apartments.  We were able to go door-to-door, but it started to sprinkle while the kids were playing on the inflatable.  We did have time for the pinatas, but that was all.  No snacks, movie, drama or gospel presentation.  Tonight was a perfect example of why Pastor Steve always says that the key to the evening campaigns is the door-to-door presentations!  

El Salvador Campaign--10/6

The group from Bell Shoals Baptist filled the bus and a van last night.  We headed to Apopa at 4:30 p.m. and set up the inflatable and equipment in a parking lot.  It was a great night with a huge crowd.  Here's a couple of pictures showing the size of the group!
