This past summer, I went to El Salvador with a team of youth from my church. We had the opportunity to work with Envision Wired* and come alongside a C&MA (Christian & Missionary Alliance) church in the town of Salcoatitan. There we held a VBS for niños in the area and joined church members in evangelizing and discipling people in the community. God is definitely at work there and seeing the deep faith of my brothers and sisters in Christ greatly encouraged and inspired me. Their joy and love just overflows! They cling to God.
This trip was my second to El Salvador and I was reminded how much I love Salvadorans! Towards the end of our trip, the Holy Spirit spoke to me and I knew that I would be coming back soon. So here I am now, definitely going to San Salvador next summer and hoping to spend an extended amount of time there! This blog is for keeping my prayer team informed of praises, needs, and what's going on in the time leading up to my departure in May and my time in Central America, and also for staying in touch.
