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. 

Wake Up Call

There were several strong earthquake/tremors in Nicaragua on Thursday and Friday before we arrived.  But, there hadn't been any additional ones until tonight's 11:10 p.m. "wake up" call.  It was a 5.5 tremor located about 30 kilometers or so from our location.  

It was a first for most of the team members from the states who are staying at the hotel with us; every one was calm, waiting patiently outside for 30 minutes before returning to their rooms.  

The team from El Salvador is at a different hotel.  I was able to Facebook chat with at least three of them and they are fine, but some of them are scared.  It woke many of them up!

Please pray:

1. for the safety of our entire team and the people of Nicaragua
2. for the tremors to cease so that we can continue to focus on our purpose for being here--evangelism--and not be worried or distracted.
