During the week before Easter we took a
team to Managua, Nicaragua to do an
evangelism campaign and VBS. One of our
goals was to teach the Managua church
family “how to do” a VBS. It was
exciting to see them eager to learn and
take on leadership roles by the end of
the week. We had an average of 106 kids
for the week. After the closing program
around 40 parents prayed to receive
Christ. |

April we focused on the Managua church
and had a great campaign while there.
Over 500 prayed to receive Christ. We
invited all those who would like to
learn more about the church to a
reception and was more than pleased when
325 came.
May and June we have been
working with the Lourdes church. We have
been working hard on getting the church
family to invite their friends and
family to church. We held a special
Mother’s Day event and three “grandma’s”
prayed to receive Christ. By the time
you receive this letter we will have
held a special Father’s Day service as
well.
In June we also had a
Medical/Evangelism campaign. We set up
clinics in some or our smaller churches
around San Salvador and saw over 1400
patients. Each one was given the gospel
one on one and 300 prayed to receive
Christ during the week. |
