Welcome to El Salvador!

View from the Hotel

We are on the ground in San Salvador for our first full day. Yesterday was more about getting acclimated and comfortable. But today was when the real fun started.

We celebrated Sunday with the Vida Nueva Church at the Crowne Plaza San Salvador. Pastor Julio brought an interesting sermon on Living the Christian Life in Hard Times. Thank goodness they had translation available for us gringos.

Our group headed out to a nice gated community in Lourdes, a suburb of San Salvador, for a Family Fiesta celebrating Father's Day. We paired up with some translators and hit the streets to invite people to the party. We had bounce houses, entertainment, drama, food, and a presentation of the Gospel.

In the end there were about 300 residents that showed up for the party. There was a good number that indicated making a decision for Christ. Those people will get follow up visits tomorrow evening (I know! Pretty cool! Right?)

As for us, we are off to the schools to teach about honesty and share the Gospel story again.
