Day 3 - La Union

Oh man, was this day jam-packed with stuff. We made a return visit to Pastor Candido's hometown church where we presented our two main body worship songs, There is None Like You and By the Power of Your Love, to a huge group of children.

Doug and Tony were so excited, they couldn't contain themselves...

Polly was not amused! =)

Looking out across the port...

Our group ended up taking several trips on a small boat to save us the road trip all the way around the bay to our next outreach spot.

I found out later that the beachfront property that we were on that afternoon was owned by a woman who had never lent it to another group of people before us. The village we were in had a very dark and dreary past, filled with many of humanity's most perverse practices like satan worshiping and prostitution of all kinds - male, female, and even young girls. The woman, who lent us her property so that we could carry on our mission to proclaim that Jesus is the answer, ran a very prominent and successful business on that beach, but somehow, some way, the Lord placed it in her heart to let us share our message with all the villagers who came out. It was one of the most moving experiences I experienced that week.

After just a couple minutes of talking with this man, he was near tears as he confessed that he wanted to accept Jesus as his personal savior.

We got back on the bus and rode to our next destination...

A Salvadorian military base.

Here we presented our skits, body worships, and then the only adult member of the group who served in the South Korean military gave a message. He talked about what it means to not only give your life to serve your country, but to give it up for something that surpasses all understanding. About one-third of the soldiers prayed the Sinner's prayer and accepted Jesus into their hearts that night.
