This past August, Nathan Hrouda and I were discussing what possibilities we had for missions trip for this upcoming summer. We banged around a few ideas, but none of them seemed to really settle. I knew I didn't want to just go somewhere to go somewhere. I wanted us to go to a place that had a real need.
John Meyer also had given counsel about how we do really well in places where there is a similar demographic..in other words, if we can reach college students, we are closer to our sweet spot.
That weekend I heard about this opportunity in San Salvador. I wrote to Nathan:
"Hey Brother,
I don't know for sure whether it's God's will for us to go here or not, but I have to say that the timing is very uncanny, since we were saying we were looking for a place with a need!
United,
Juan"
It seems that God had opened up this door for us.
In addition to this, God has always seemed to open up opportunity for me to share/influence Spanish-speaking folks, and this could be a great opportunity to use those language skills for the gospel and His glory!
