Latest news about El Salvador

I received some sad news this week from my friends in El Salvador. The village where I went on my mission trip was devastated by mudslides in October that were brought on by torrential rains from hurricanes Rita and Stan. Pastor Walter and his wife Esther lost thier home and is now living with several other families in the extention of the church we built while we were there. On a much sadder note, Pastor Julio was killed. He leaves behind a wife and three little girls.

Since Spring El Salvador has dealt with several natural diasters: a volcanic eruption, hurricans, torrential rains, and even an earthquake. Please keep them in your prayers.

The Salvadorians are such an amazing people. Their passion and commentment to the Lord was both humbling and inspiring.
