Thirty-two people, most of whom are from Alabama, (a few are from St. Louis) are here for a mission trip this week in San Salvador. We started with a campaign in Lourdes on Saturday night and then everyone came to church at the hotel on Sunday. Pastor Bob Griffin from Gulf Shores Baptist Church preached--have to admit we love hearing sermons in English! Sunday evening we went back to Lourdes for our evening campaign.
Because Stephen and I have Spanish classes on Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings and teach at New Life Christian School on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday afternoons, we are not able to join the team during the day. This morning they traveled to the central park in downtown El Salvador; tomorrow they will be at a central park in Aguilares; Wednesday through Friday they will be in schools.
Tonight we went to Tejutla, which is a small town a little more than an hour east of San Salvador. Pastor Manuel started a small home church there a few months ago. Jeff, Paula, Stephen and I were the first to arrive and were able to get the inflatable going. The park was very nice with plenty of space for both the slide and the movie.
Because we're working to set everything up and then working at the inflatable, we do not go door to door, but we heard great reports as the team returned to the park. The movie was well attended and the crowd was receptive. Please pray for the brand new believers in Tejutla, for Pastor Manuel's new church and for the remaining days of the trip.
