Prayer Request for El Salvador

The seismic activity that began two weeks ago (when we were in Nicaragua) has started up again. Today while at church in the hotel there were 2 strong (in my opinion) tremors and the hotel asked everyone to evacuate while they examined the building for any damage.  We returned to the service about 10 minutes later. People who were here two weeks ago said today's tremors were mild in comparison to those. Makes me thankful I wasn't here. Please pray for the activity to cease,especially for there not to be a major earthquake.

We are flying to KC on Tuesday and will take steps to secure our belongings in the apartment to avoid damage if there should be major tremors while we are gone. 

Thanks for praying for El Salvador.

Half way through the week

We've had a great week so far, averaging almost 100 professions of faith per day.  As usual, when we start seeing great fruit, we start having problems to solve.  On Monday evening, Pastor Felix's truck was broken into (in front of the restaurant where the Salvadorans were eating) and a couple of the girls had their documents taken.  One went to the Salvadoran consulate today to get a document which will allow her to go back to El Salvador without her official government ID.  Yesterday, after the morning door-to-door campaign, one of the buses broke down--some type of problem with the air brake system.  This morning several people start feeling bad and at least 5 of them stayed at the hotel.  Tonight we are starting the campaign early because the Catholic church in neighborhood where we are going is having a Holy Week procession and we don't want to be in conflict with them.  On a positive note, there haven't been any additional tremors since Monday.

Please pray for the earth to remain stable (no tremors), for the health of the team members and for the evangelistic work to continue.
