On July 16 we delivered 24 crates and pallets to Whiteman AFB for shipment to El Salvador. Through the USAID Denton program, the USAF will fly the crates to San Salvador on space available in training aircraft. The plan is for the crates to arrive at the San Salvador airport on Saturday July 21, and after clearing customs they will be released to Jose for transport up the hill to La Palma.
Some of the crates will be donated to the women’s prison at Ilopongo where we have begun a prison ministry to the women who are pregnant or have small children with them in prison.
Some of the crates contain school supplies and computers for the La Palma Christian School. Some of the crates will go to Ocotepeque, and most of the goods will be distributed in La Palma.
Besides school supplies and computers, the crates contain cookware, sheets, blankets, clothing, shoes, and more.
A lot of work went into packing the crates, getting the approvals and inspections, and transporting them to Whiteman.
May God bless the effort expended and the distribution effort.

The summer mission trips are now history. Around 50 went to Ocotepeque, San Ignacio, and La Palma to encourage and teach. In reality, the missionaries usually gain as much as those they go to help.

Lori, Monte, Ruth, and Nathan have arrived in San Salvador. They will spend Thurs, Fri, and Saturday in La Palma, joining the rest of the team in Ocotepeque Saturday evening. We have a great group! Wide variety of age and talent.

Several from the US will arrive in La Palma, San Ignacio, and Ocotepeque on June 2 to begin mission work. Some return on the 9th and some on the 15th. Pray for the safety, security, and success of these teams.

Kristi Burns loves mission work, and she loved the beautiful sunsets in La Palma and Ocotepeque. This is one of those that she loved.

One of the boys I have loved since I met him in 2005 is Adonis. He became a Christian this week! What a boy! I have always called him Mono- as in Monkey because he is so active.

The med team in La Palma worked in San Ignacio today and had a big crowd.
