I've literally only got a couple of minutes before we head out again, so here's a brief update.
Sunday began with church services at 7:30am here at Zacamil Baptist Church. (and we thought our 9am was early on the PB campus!) We didn't participate in the service but met up with the translation team and mapped out some details for the week.
After services, we went to a hospital and threw a party for the children that were staying there. Our high school and college students ministered room to room to teenagers encouraging them, praying for them and delivering cake! This particular experience was an eye opener for many students. The conditions of the patients combined with the conditions of the hospital are a new reality for many students.
Monday was spent in the village of Las Palmeras, where we set up a medical clinic. We saw roughly 300 people yesterday, every single one of them heard the Gospel and many accepted Christ. The 'evangelism' arm of the team went to an English speaking school consisting of college students and got to share for 2 hours in classrooms. This was a phenomenal experience. Students shared their faith openly and engaged in some great conversations.
A couple of people from our team also went to a local tv station and were interviewed about our time here and the upcoming conference we are holding at the end of this week.
Last night we were in a park...we set up music, performed skits and shared the Gospel both personally and corporately. Quite a few people made decisions for Christ at the park also.
We are two hours behind the U.S. here...so we are now boarding the bus for an hour to a village outside of San Salvador to do it all again today. God is doing some great things here...I'm pretty excited about the week.
Thanks for reading! Pray for the team!

Awesome. The trip must have been great - Abiel, Tommy and Jorge all seemed to come home really on fire and inspired by what God did there - my experience in church this morning definitely benefited from their time there - it was a great service. The way they all seemed impacted made me want to go on a missions trip!
Can't wait to hear more about it at small group!
