At the end of June, VCH finished an awesome EL SALVADOR MISSION TRIP! We ministered to 1,915 children, youth and adults in churches, parks, plazas and public schools and shared the Gospel in public schools through dramas and skits on good values,morals, and ethics, as well as giving out Gospel tracts and Gospels of John to all the students! Yes, you can share the Gospel good news in the schools in El Salvador! We saw 1,515 salvation decisions for the glory of God! One of those was our bus driver Elias!
The first day, the VCH team arrived one day before the “Pan American” games began. There was a young lady named Lupita, who was a basketball player from the US, staying at the same hotel. David began a conversation with her and could tell something was wrong. She had just lost her grandmother who was like a mother to her. She shared with Donna that she fell far-away from God and wanted to rededicate her life to the Lord. Donna prayed with her and Lupita recommitted her life to Jesus and als asked Jesus to empower her with His Holy Spirit and He did! The VCH team purchased 4,400 tracts, 100 New Testaments, 90 Bibles, 4,000 Gospels of John and 400 Christian bookmarks in preparation for the One Life Church team arrival. The Colorado team arrived ready to give their all for this mission trip, as they had been preparing their dramas for ministry time. The first Saturday, we held a children’s program at a local church in a very poor neighborhood. The pastor had held events in the past but they had never seen this many children respond.

One afternoon in the park, a man named Antonio responded to the altar call. The Lord had drawn him with the message of hope he was hearing. With tears in his eyes, he shared how he was at the park looking for a rope so that he could end his life. When he heard the message of hope we were sharing, Antonio surrendered his life to Jesus! What a divine appointment! Praise God! At another park in the town of “San Rafael”, a woman named Angelica, came forward for prayer. Her arm had been bent at the elbow and she was not able to straighten it out. After prayer, she was able to extend her arm! We also gave out 2,400 pounds of beans and rice at each crusade and ministry site.
Miles Skipper from Perryton was with us from June 2nd to the 30th. Andrew Purvis, from Dallas served with us June 2-16. What an amazing difference they made as they poured out their lives for the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Each one of them left a part of themselves in each person they ministered to. We were so blessed to have had them with us!
