Baptism in the Pacific Ocean |
Sue, Julie & Grace |
Our week in
El Salvador ended with a trip to the beach to enjoy a bit of down time before
we head home. But it wasn’t a typical
beach day. During this transformational
week, 3 people on our team felt called by God to be baptized and so we had a baptism
in the Pacific Ocean.
Amidst crashing
waves, Julie, Grace and Sue were baptized and committed themselves to following
God and trusting in Him with their lives.
It was truly a special way to end the week!
At debrief
tonight our team reflected on the many things that had impacted them this week.
The enormity of the poverty here can be
overwhelming, but 18 families now have safety and protection from the
elements. The work of the local church
to connect with these families and their commitment to sharing the gospel was
so inspiring and the love of God was evident in many tangible ways. The power of God to connect people at a deep
level in such a short amount of time really blew us all away.

We are going
home changed because of what we have experienced this week. We came to bless but in return were blessed
so much more.
