Does God Care? Who Will He Use?


Team Member Jeff Stock (on the right) sent this to me Sunday afternoon with the following comments.

"Landen wanted to raise money for Hurricane Victims in TX. His “crazy” idea was to sell cold soda on a cold January day. $75 later and Daddy was humbled by how God agreed with Landen’s heart."

The decision to go never just affects one person, but draws each member of our families into the opportunity. And, in a much larger, but just as significant way it draws all of you into this trip as well.

The team that goes is just the tip of the iceberg. Thank you for supporting us through prayer and encouragement and for taking up the slack while family members are away. 

Here are the names of the 14 members of the team for prayer reference.


Deb Boyd - Baker
Priscilla Cash - Homemaker
Mike Dugger - Firefighter
Nathan Eyler - Mechanical Engineer
Todd Jackson - Handyman
Kim Kessler - Retired
Larry Kessler - Retired Engineer
Mike Krape - Lawn Care Professional
Andrew Mackley - Residential Construction
Glenn Martin - Maintenance Director
Millie Martin - Hospitality Director
Kandi Slyder - Hair Stylist
Steve Slyder - Farmer
Jeff Stock - Home Improvements Contractor

Pictures From the Youth Retreat - 8/1-8/2

Image
A major goal for this trip was to bring the youth from York Alliance and the Church of Faith and Worship together, to strengthen and encourage each other. The retreat took place over two days up on a mountain. Memories were made and bonds formed. God's family is large and knows no boundaries, whether that be nations, languages, or cultures. Praise God! Mario's truck broke down on the way back, but they were able to get it running safely again and made it back to San Salvador. We were all glad to be reunited!

Today we start gearing up for the children's camp. Colin and I walk down to Mister Donut, order breakfast and use the wifi to upload the blog for yesterday. I feel so adventurous going out in the city and using my limited Spanish skills to order breakfast.  We stop at Super Selectos (grocery store) and grab a few groceries. We get some oranges since they're out of bananas. We grab some more mint gum while were there. There are a few team members with queasy stomachs and achy guts. Chewing mint gum seems to offer some relief and we're going through the packs we brought pretty quickly. After paying, we grab my backpack left with the guard at the front of the store (no backpacks are allowed in the grocery store).  It's an gentle uphill trek back to the apartment. We pass dog's chilling on the sidewalks or sorting through the trash, parents walking to the hospital carrying children, and many little shops and venders selling everything from fresh plantains and

Surrounding with a Prayer Wall - Last Day of Camp - 8-3-18

Image
We begin the day with some rousing games. Here we're playing four square. We have some downtime throughout the day. We have made some beautiful connections with the children. It's a bitter-sweet feeling, to think we will have to say good-bye to the children soon. Then the day finishes up with a number of fun games. This is the infamous bobbing for berries challenge. This girl was determined to get that berry! At the end of the day we gathered, the children in the middle and prayed. At the end, we all held hands, formed a wall around the children and blanketed them in prayer. This was a deeply moving time for all of us.
