More Skype visit with Jorge and Gloria today.
The shipment was moved from La Palma to Ocotepeque, and they are now transferring the medical equipment to the doctor in charge of physical rehabilitation.
They had one more baptism last night.
Recently, the wife of one of the prisoners was baptized. He is Eric, who was one of two prisoners baptized in January. He has been conducting Bible studies in the prison with other prisoners, and wants to enroll in the preacher school in late August when he is released from prison. We need to find some financial support for him and his wife, Judith, so they can devote themselves to study and evangelism.
Santos and Lydia were studying in the preacher school and doing well until he became sick. It was determined that he has cancer and he moved to San Salvador for treatment.

A large shipment of clothing, shoes, toys, and medical supplies and equipment has arrived in Ocotepeque! Through USAID, the US Air Force transported the shipment to San Salvador, El Salvador. It was then trucked to La Palma, and then on to Ocotepeque.
Included in the shipment were 24 plastic barrels of clothing, shoes, and toys which came from the Mt Paran Baptist Church in Shongaloo, LA. We really appreciate the work and sacrifice that went into those barrels. Melvin Thomas personally lidded each barrel and stored them until we found a trailer coming to Missouri.
Here in Missouri the barrels were palletized and combined with other crates. A large amount of paperwork was worked on, and the shipping approved. It was then taken to Whiteman Air Force Base in central Missouri and placed on a plane going to South Carolina. After a few weeks there it went to Hayti and then on to San Salvador.
The congregations in La Palma, San Ignacio, and Citala in El Salvador, and the congregations in La Antigua, Ocotepeque, and Santa Anita will distribute the goods to people who are in need.
The barrels are valuable for collecting rain water, and tap water when it is available. Most homes do not have water available inside, so a reservoir to collect and store water is an awesome thing to have.
Two large crates containing wheelchairs, walkers, crutches, and canes were included in the shipment and are donated to the local physical rehabilitation clinic.
