The rest of the campaign

I've decided that I'm so far behind that it's best to just wrap up last week's campaign with one more post.  The schedule for Wednesday, Thursday and Friday was similar to the other days (devotion, school and family festival), with only minor variations.  

Wednesday was Don Laity's birthday so before we went to the school, we celebrated with a birthday cake on the bus.  

After sharing the lesson in the school, Stephen and I took the team to the food court at Galarias and they enjoyed seeing the mall and having an opportunity to try Pollo Campero!

Wednesday evening we were invited to set up the event on a soccer field in Cafetalon Park in Santa Tecla.  We took two inflatable and they were filled with soccer kids; our team members spread out through the park to share the gospel.

As I mentioned before, the team was only 8 people, but they worked really, really hard.  Even after one of them got sick and had to be hospitalized, the rest of them didn't lose their focus.  At the end of the week, there were 676 professions of faith!  We were blessed to be a part of it.

First Time in Paradise

Our October campaign started on Saturday night, but a huge storm pushed through just after the team finished going door-to-door. 

Last night we had a great evening campaign in a closed neighborhood in Lourdes.  There were hundreds of people who heard the gospel message. 

 This morning we went to an all girls school and shared the lesson on "redeeming time." 

 Tonight, we made the long (hour +) trip to Paraiso (Paradise,) a small town up north, where Pastor Manuel is hoping to plant another Vida Nueva church.  We had two inflatables going for the kids.  The team did a great job sharing with the people who lived near the downtown and with others who worked in or near the park.
