El Salvador

Justin has known for a few years now that he would someday do missions work.  He has been waiting patiently for God to give him the word, "GO".  That time has come.

Justin's first trip to El Salvador was put together by one of his professors who is also a pastor at our church.  Pastor Al, Justin, and two other guys that are Justin's classmates headed down for a full week of reaching out to the people of El Salvador.  The worked with King's Castle Ministries and some other students from a Master's Commission.

460 people were reached and of those, 180 accepted Jesus!  Those are some exciting numbers!  Many of the people that were reached were children.

Justin says that this was a life changing trip for him.  He cannot wait to go back, hopefully next year.

I'm hoping that I will be able to go next year as well.  Justin journaled every day.  Reading those journals along with looking at all of his pictures has me aching to get out there! 

For a while now Justin and I have talked about someday adopting a child.  While he was in El Salvador that desire was multiplied.  Justin fell in love with this little girl.

And here is a group photo of many of the people that Justin's group worked with...
