How can I put into words what is happening here in El Salvador? It is really difficult! We see poverty and brokeness everywhere. Single mom's who are raising children alone, people suffering with poor health because there is not enough money for medication, houses made from mud and sticks or plastic wrapped around sticks for shelter. Farmers working for $2 a day and a bag of beans cost $5. There is so much suffering.
Yet we see God doing a great work. People in the community working together with the teams to erect the homes. Children laughing with some of our teenagers as they play with water ballons, a team member helping a mom and daughter wash clothes the old fashioned way by scrubbing them on the rock. Team members sharing the Gospel and praying for familes during the interview. I see God at work. I see God restoring Salvadoran lives and Canadian lives through the work that is happening here. I can't put it into words except to say....it is powerful! It is God! What a blessing to witness it and be a part of it.
