new update from el salvador

i have been in central america for almost 5 week now! it has been an amazing time and has flown by very fast. i have made a lot of friends. we have ministered to over 4000 people – last count 600 people had given their lives to the Lord. we have distributed food and hygiene kits to so many needy people. i have preached in churches and schools and loved and hugged so many beautiful salvadorian kids. i’ve eaten some amazing food. i’ve also been privileged to work alongside some of the most amazing men of God here that are salvadorian pastors. this weekend we are having a big event for single moms, prostitutes, and others at a huge park in san salvador all day. we will be giving out food, hygiene kits, and presenting them the hope that is Jesus Christ. we are doing a lot of amazing things here, and can only do them with the power of the Holy Spirit in us and with your prayers as we go!

until later
chadito…. as they call me here

below is a short video from a youth conference we did here in el salvador. it was the first-ever youth event for this church, and they had youth groups from all over the city there. really powerful. we were able to have a great time of ministry with them.

el salvador

hey hey! el salvador has been amazing. we are very very busy here, but God has been moving a lot in and through us. we have been working in schools doing assemblies for students from pre-school through high school. for 2 weeks we are focusing on spiritual emphasis in the schools. we present a few dramas, get the kids dancing and interacting, give testimonies, and then ask for responses. we pray and lay hands on every student there. in the last week alone we had 150-200 people accept Jesus as their Savior. we’ve prayed for many students in abusive or broken homes. we’ve prayed for children that have tried to kill themselves. We have seen healing of sick and watched God move as we prayed for teachers and administration of the schools. it has been amazing. and of course, we spend much time loving on kids with hugs, games, smiles, and showing the love of Jesus.

along with all that,we were at a big youth rally this past weekend with youth groups from many churches in san salvador. we were able to pray for every student there, and God moved in the lives of so may youth.

as far as what i personally have been doing, i have been leading 15 of the 30 interns when we go out to minister. we break into 2 groups, and go to different schools. i have been giving alter calls, testimonies, and directing. it has been a very stretching time, but very good.

thats what has been going on here. i miss everyone from home, and would love to hear how you are doing in an email anytime. keep us in your prayers!
