Prayers Please

As we enter into our last couple days here, many prayers are needed:

*Please pray for health for our team. There is an illness going around that seems to be a viral. It includes a fever, diarrea, and vomiting and last about a day per person. So far, it has passed through each member of a family of four and now a little girl in another family has the same symptoms. Please pray for those who have been sick to recover well and for no one else to get sick!

*Pray for strength, energy, and perseverance. All of us, parents and kids, are getting tired and weary. The newness and excitement has worn off, along with our energy. The only way we can make it until Saturday is with supernatural strength from God!

*Pray for God to move during our last two nights out in the Colonias. God has been at work in peoples hearts the past 4 nights, so pray that this continues and that we make the most of every opportunity.

We do have many, many things to be thankful for: 

*Each day, it seems as if our team members are getting more and more comfortable sharing their faith with total strangers. The first night out on the streets, I could see a lot of hesitancy and uncertainty about how to talk to others. But as the week has gone on, I have seen more and more boldness in both parents and kids sharing about Jesus. I love looking around in the evenings and seeing kids bust out their Evangecube and parents involved in intense deep spiritual conversations with others. God has really been at work in changing our hearts.

*HUNDREDS of public school students (and their teachers ) have been able to hear the good news of Jesus and want to follow him!

*God has allowed us to be his mouthpiece in leading many to Jesus. The one-on-one conversations is where we see the most fruit and where we can really see the heart change. We've been able to show many Salvadorians the Truth in Scriptures of how Jesus is the only way to God in heaven.
