The past month of ministry

We had a visitor this month, he is pictured here with our family. Scott took all of these pictures you are about to see of our ministry over the past month. He took pictures of things that I take for granted, since I see them everyday. I am glad that I get to share these with you.

This sticker is very common to see on front doors. It says "We are missionaries with Christ and Mary." El Salvador is still a very Catholic country.

And here is another proclamation of faithfulness to Mary.

Steve, out soul-winning. Every front door has a "porton" in front of it, which is a door of bars. This door is very important to protect your home from being robbed in a crime-soaked country. It adds a level of security.

In the front of this group, you can see Wiliam and Mareleny. They are some of our faithful members. Wiliam is now discipling another man named Israel.

Juan Carlos, part of our soul winning group from San Miguel, is witnessing to the tortilla lady. In front of her is the big bowl of corn dough that she is frying into corn tortillas. This is probably the most common food here.

Stevito, out soul winning with Uncle Steve. He is a fearless soul winner, and frequently leads more adults to Christ than anyone else in our group.

Our most faithful teenager, Jose Luis. He is also Caleb's best friend :)

The man with his head turned is Israel, who is being discipled by Wiliam.

Our Sunday kids class is rather small, but mighty! These kids have each memorized 10 verses and are getting ready to memorize a second batch of 10 verses. This Sunday we have a party to celebrate their accomplishment.

The lady with the pink shirt is named Tita. She has completed the discipleship lessons, and is now starting to disciple a new convert in the next week with Christine.

A home along the railroad tracks. This property is owned by the government. Since the railroad does not run on these tracks anymore, it has become home to thousands of poor and homeless. They construct homes out of whatever materials they can find.

This is one of those families. Notice the bed springs that the girl has her hand resting on? It is very common to see these acting as a fence around the shacks. This family comes to our church. The children that come are Miguel, Pablo, and Morenita. The mother, pictured in the background, is named Morena.
