A Trip to Usulutan

On Tuesday, we left San Salvador at 8:30 a.m. and drove 2+ hours to Usulutan, a city fairly close to the ocean, which meant that the temperature was considerably higher than what we are used to in San Salvador.  Lucky for us, we had to take the inflatable so we followed the bus in our pickup.

More than twenty years ago, Vida Nueva helped plant a local church in the city and the youth pastor, Jonathan, arranged for us to present the sexual purity lesson at a local private, Christian school.  The students really enjoyed our time there and many of them made professions of faith.

After the morning in the school we all went to Wendy's for lunch and then went back to the church to rest before the family festival.  We also had a time of prayer for the church, it's pastor and the festival.    

The evening campaign was in the city park,  right in front of the Catholic church, but it didn't stop us from sharing the gospel one-on-one, playing games with the kids and preaching after the drama.

The local church was very appreciative of our efforts and, especially grateful for the professions of faith that were made.  They will do the follow-up, and we are praying for "fruit that remains."  They invited us to return whenever we have the opportunity.

We ended the day with a two-hour bus ride back to San Salvador--it was a long, but rewarding day.
