Potters Field Orphanage - El Salvador Day 6
Potters Field Orphanage - El Salvador Day 5
Today we were able to bless
the people of Suchitoto by painting their church. The town of Suchitoto has an
extra bit of spiritual warfare. Strange things will happen to interrupt
service. For example, during an alter call, a marching band would come down the
street, interrupting the service. Tonight, fireworks started midway through the
service, completely interrupting right when the point of the message was being
delivered. I think it’s important to think of spiritual warfare as a positive
thing, as a little push of help, as long as we don’t fall into satan’s trap and
follow the way the Lord is leading. ...<< MORE >>
Potters Field Orphanage - El Salvador Day 4
There have been two huge lessons that the Lord has been laying on all of our hearts for the entire trip so far.
One, to be humbled, not only by our surroundings and the people we interact with, but with what the Lord is doing here with the children, and even within ourselves.
Two, look to the Lord for everything, and most importantly, pray to the Lord for everything, from a lost wallet, to a terminally ill child in the hospital. The Lord will answer all prayers in His time. This bringz ...<< MORE >>
Potters Field Orphanage - El Salvador Day 3
Today we spent our day on the ranch. The kids had school during the day, which they attend here on the ranch. Our team was blessed to be able to teach the kids for a few hours during the day. We had prepared endless curriculums and crafts for the kids to do, which they had so much fun doing! Some of the missionaries on our team taught the Easter Story to the children, and made it exciting by having an egg hunt. They were so excited because they ...<< MORE >>
Potters Field Orphanage - Day 2
What a huge blessing today has been! Our team was fortunate enough to visit Calvary Chapel San Salvador. This morning we able to bless the boys by serving them breakfast at CCSS. Every Sunday before service, CCSS serves breakfast for the children. This may be the only meal that these children get to eat all day. So it is a really huge blessing for them to be able to receive this offering. The children are so warm and open to new people. They just love to have company, and ...<< MORE >>
Potters Field Orphanage - El Salvador Day 1
Day one on the ranch has already been an incredible experience, and it’s only day one!
We can already see the Lord doing His work in each one of us. He has been using even the littlest situations to do His work through us for El Salvador. We were so blessed to meet Ramon and Brennan of the Potters Field Orphanage at the airport. They took us to the orphanage, completely blessing us every step of the way. An even bigger blessing was spending time at dinner with ...<< MORE >>
The reality of important things
Some people got to have it
Some people really need it
Listen to me y'all, do things, do things, do bad things with it
You wanna do things, do things, do things, good things with it"
(For the Love of Money, Music and Lyrics by The O'Jays"
There is a lot of talk about money these days... the lack of it, the excess spending of it, the borrowing of it. The gains and losses are totaled up for us neatly on a daily basis by numbers moving across the television screen at lightning speed, with fortunes being ...<< MORE >>
"What we have here is... failure to communicate."
So okay I am resisting the pull into the internet age with both heels planted firmly in the ground. Yet the relentless strain on the strand that is the worldwide web is a sticky tap with no rescue at hand. I am not a journal writer by habit; as a discipline it is wonderful, yet gathering my thoughts together is not something that comes easily to me. I'm too much of a restless spirit in that respect. The same kind of restless spirit I see in my firstborn, a bundle of kinetic frenzy that at times stagger the imagination. ...<< MORE >>

Day Seven- Consuelito
Day Six- Conani House
Day Five- The Sugar Cane Villages
Day Four- Boy's Orphanage
After devotionals we packed up the donations for the boy’sorphanage and the sugar cane village. We loaded the bus and off we went to LaRomana where the orphanage was located. When we first pulled up to theorphanage we were amazed at how small it was. It was a home that was convertedinto a boy’s orphanage with roughly six average sized rooms. One room was usedfor schooling, the other for five cribs and two other rooms with bunk beds forthe kids to sleep in. The rest were common rooms used for cooking, washing andgeneral visits. The backyard was a court ...<< MORE >>
Day Three- The Girl's Orphanage
Day Two- Nursing Home
Sunday…The Lord’s day. We worshipped with our brother andsisters in the church of Consuelito. Consuelito is a sugar cane village ownedby the government. Two years ago they stopped the production of sugar cane,which left the residents with no means of income. The travel to the village waschallenging. The roads are spotted with craters and wildlife, which is not easyto maneuver around, the heavy rains will make the roads impossible to travel at times. However, these conditions do not stop residents of the surrounding villages from walking 2-3 miles for service. The church is a simple building made of blocks, ...<< MORE >>
