Juntos Together

Juntos Together started tonight.  It is a combination mission trip/mission's conference.  A team of 8 came from The Bridge Church in Fresno and another 33 came from Valley Baptist Church in Bakersfield.  These teams join with the youth of Iglesia Bautista Vida Nueva to learn and serve.  

We started the week with orientation this afternoon, followed by the first night of the conference.  The theme for the week is "Stand Firm/Se Firme."   The theme song for the week is Fix My Eyes by Kings Kaleidoscope.  Click here to hear the song.

July Campaign, El Salvador

We started a campaign on Saturday evening with a small group of 11 from Fresno and 2 regulars from Bakersfield.  Although the sky looked very threatening, the evening was going fine until half way through the movie when it started to sprinkle.  We stopped the movie, Pastor Steve preached a quick message, the team counseled those who made decisions and we left before the rain turned into a downpour.   Since that night, we haven't seen anymore rain!

I celebrated my birthday on Sunday (not admitting to the "number) with church in the morning, lunch at my favorite Chinese restaurant and a campaign on Sunday night.  

Here are a couple of pictures of from the week so far:
