El Salvador 2011 Pretrip---for the most of us

It doesn't seem like a year has gone by, but it has and we are deep in the execution of the 2011 El Salvador mission trip, March 12 thru March 19.

The ground has been prepared for 68 folks from the USA and about 30 or so from Latin America to conduct a Evangelistic/Medical Campaign March 13 thru March 17 in Usulutan, El Salvador. While the trip starts on March 12 that is mainly a travel and settle in day. Also Friday March 18 is a rest and recovery day and Saturday, March 19, is a travel day home. I thought some of you loved ones back home would be wondering what the rest of the trip was all about.

The planning began months ago, but the execution began the first of this week as North Americans began to arrive. Phil Waggoner, Dave Huffman, Bill Staggs, and Dennis Buchanan flew to San Salvador on Monday. They went down early to buy meds and make final preparations for the main body of the team to arrive on Saturday, March 12. Chef Rone' Travis arrived on Wednesday to procure delicacies for nourishing the team for their week in Usulutan, as did Sarah Dutton to make sure everything was done right.

The rest of the team is scheduled to arrive on Saturday afternoon and evening with one coming in on Sunday. We have 2 from Alabama, 2 from Arkansas, one from Florida, 2 from Georgia, 2 from Oklahoma, 5 from Virgina, and 54 from Tennessee. The Tenneseans are mainly Mount Juliet members but we have folks from Bell Buckle, Centerville, Henderson, Hendersonville, Leoma, Memphis, Nashville, and Pikeville. Quite an assembly of workers for the Lord.

OK, that is where things are on Thursday, March 10. I hope to have a post on March 12 after we arrive so be looking for that. Also I am hoping to have guest bloggers during the week to give you their thoughts on the work.

Please pray that the hearts in Usulutan are ripe for the Message and for our safety and success while there.
