Our Last Week on Campus Comes to an End

¡Que ondas amigos!

I hope that you are all encouraged by this quick update on how God has been moving in our ministry on campus and in El Salvador.

Picking up where we left off, we had a solid finish to the week. We were all encouraged as another student at Evangelica came to know the Lord after Rachael, Lana, and Rosa had the opportunity to share with her The Four Spiritual Laws and the Gospel. That night we invited students to join us in a feast of one of our favorite traditional Salvadorian foods, pupusas! It was great to make a connection with the students and build relationships with the students already involved in VE (Vida Estudiantil) as well as welcome new students as we celebrated their culture. We had an awesome turnout, and the place was packed out with hungry college students.

Thursday, the girls were able to reconnect with some of the students for a game of futbòl. After bonding on the field, a few of the chicas engaged in some conversations with questions about faith and our purpose. The girls are hoping to get together again soon for some more gametime and discussion.

We hosted our last weekly meeting at Evangelica this Thursday. It was exciting to see some new faces and to be able to worship together and dive into the Word as a body. The movement is growing and gaining regulars and we were encouraged to see some of our friends from the previous week return. We are sad to be ending our time at Evangelica and we found out Thursday that all the campuses in El Sal are closing in attempt to prevent the spread of the swine flu.

Today we had a devotional with the local staff followed by a planning session. We spent some time as a group talking about what ministry is going to look like for the remainder of our time here as schools are closed. We are excited to see how God will continue to move through the sudden change of plans.

Keep our team and this ministry in your prayers. We ask that you would for our upcoming parent dinner and that the families of the students involved in VE would attend and have their hearts softened to the ministry. Pray also that the Lord would guide us by His Spirit in equipping the students with training and discipleship that they would by grace continue growing in their faith and reaching other students with the Gospel.

Con amor,
Mike, Anna, and La Familia
