El Salvador 2007 OCC/Eye~Medical Clinics

Since I have returned from El Salvador, I have been reflecting on my experience and wanting to write an entry.  In doing so, I realized that words cannot capture the greatness of God.  As I sit here now I am listening to the song FIRE FALL DOWN by Hillsong.  It is one of the worship songs we sang every evening.  In the beginning I just mumbled through and wanted so much to just be able to sing a song I was more familiar with.  Now as I listen to it, it takes me right back to that place and the wonderful people I served with.  It will always be a real Spirit lifter for me.  We also sang Amazing Grace to a different tune.  I think it is a "you have to be there" thing.  Nevertheless, I truly believe music speaks to the soul. 


I have decided to post a few pictures instead of writing a long Testimony about the trip. The team consisted of about 80 youth, and 20 other people who were team leaders, part of the "Medical Brigade", communications and other ministries.  The youth were divided into 8 teams.  Each day 2 teams per bus were dispersed to different locations.  The object was to present the Gospel to the locals through shoebox distribution, medical~eye clinics, soccer clinic and house building.  We always go to allow God to work through us and we each learn so much in return.  So here are a few pictures of the experience.
