Men at the Ocotepeque prison listening to Jeremy talk about their relationship to God.

On July 16 we delivered 24 crates and pallets to Whiteman AFB for shipment to El Salvador. Through the USAID Denton program, the USAF will fly the crates to San Salvador on space available in training aircraft. The plan is for the crates to arrive at the San Salvador airport on Saturday July 21, and after clearing customs they will be released to Jose for transport up the hill to La Palma. Some of the crates will be donated to the women’s prison at Ilopongo where we have begun a prison ministry to the women who are pregnant or have small children with them in prison. Some of the crates contain school supplies and computers for the La Palma Christian School. Some of the crates will go to Ocotepeque, and most of the goods will be distributed in La Palma. Besides school supplies and computers, the crates contain cookware, sheets, blankets, clothing, shoes, and more. A lot of work went into packing the crates, getting the approvals and inspections, and transporting them to Whiteman. May God bless the effort expended and the distribution effort.

The beginning of a long line of street vendors.

Ocotepeque has lots of street vendors and a long line of markets that sell almost everything. It is interesting just to walk along the market place and see how the vendors act differently in their sales pitches.

Doing laundry at the Ocotepeque prison. It appears that they have plenty of water available. The women's prison at Ilopongo only has water 1 out of every 3 hours during the day and none from 6pm to 6 am.

Prisoners holding up their WBS lessons.

Over a dozen prisoners at the Ocotepeque prison are taking the World Bible School correspondence course. Jorge and Marcos go there each Monday to study with them.
