Highlights--El Salvador Campaign, May 13-18

We just finished a great week with a team from First Baptist Ferguson, St. Louis, Missouri.  They came last May, as well, so we were very happy to see some of them again as well as to meet several new faces.

They arrived in the afternoon on Saturday and since we didn't have a campaign, we took them to the gringo market and to Los Planes for pupusas.  

On Sunday we visited our church in Lourdes and were able to be a part of their Mother's Day celebration, which included being serenaded by a traditional Mariachi singer.  

We had our first family festival on Sunday evening in Nueva Lourdes.

Costa Rica Campaign--Tuesday

After devotions on Tuesday morning we went downtown San Jose to shop for souvenir and share the gospel on the street.  Everyone found a place to eat lunch on their own, meeting back at 1:30 so we could rest a bit before going out for the evening campaign.

 

We left the hotel at 4:00 and arrived at the neighborhood for the family festival about 5:00 a.m.  Although the traffic is not as bad as Colombia or Guatemala, it's still not easy to get across town.  The team visited homes, invited the adults and children to the family festival and shared the gospel with as everyone who would listen.  The festival was well-attended and there were 25+ decisions for the evening.
