So, we've been in El Sal. for 4 days now and I can't believe we're halfway through the trip! God's teaching us so much- I can't wait to share the stories! I'm in the half of our group that is ministering to the 'community housing'- homes for displaced people (due to natural disasters, war, etc.). These people are among some of the poorest in this area, and there's evidence everywhere of gang activity. Although it can be rather intimidating to be there at times, seeing the need for love in the eyes of the kids that hurl themselves at you as soon as you get a quarter of a mile from the site is encouragement enough! I continue to pray that God will give me boldness to love these kids in a clear and extravagant way!
Well, I've got to go to debriefing time... Thanks for reading :)
