Hi friends!
To clear up some confusion, El Salvador is a small Central American country located on the Pacific coast between Guatemala and Honduras.
FOUR DAYS... Count it.... FOUR DAYS until we leave for our mission! God has been working on our hearts and we know good things are going to happen on this trip!
Here's a picture of one of the neighborhoods we will be working in. It's funny/ironic/certain that when you are gearing up to do God's work and you are in prayer/devotion time on a regular basis, there is a spiritual warfare that begins to sink in. Here's the example: We've been doing LOTS of teambuilding and getting excited for the trip, praying every day, packing, collecting supplies from lots of wonderful people... AND BAM... Saturday: Jackie finds out one of her friends she grew up with in MA passed away in their sleep.
So, we put on the "armor of God" & keep moving forward, heavy hearts and all. Then, on Tuesday PM, Jackie recieved the news that one of the kids she was close to at Covenant House took their own life. MORAL OF THE STORY: Caution if you're about to carry out good deeds in the name of the Lord... 'cause there's also "forces" working against that.
PRAYER REQUEST: Please pray for the Spielman family of MA, for M.K. to be free from whatever was hurting and for the rest of this week to be prayerful and uneventful. AMEN.
