Jeremy speaking to the men at the Ocotepeque prison.

The ladies in the Ilopongo prison in El Salvador are not provided with sheets, blankets, clothing, toiletries, cups, bowls or plates. If they do not have a bowl or plate and cannot borrow one, they only get tortillas to eat. The main meal each day is catered in an includes a meat, a soup, and tortillas. Here they are shown lining up for that meal.

Prisoners in the Ocotepeque prison do not receive meals--they are given a ration of beans, rice, and flour and do their own cooking. The men cook over a wood fire. The women have a hotplate to use. They can use their canteen money to buy chicken or other meat. The two women that are there now have plenty of space and facilities--they very seldom leave their cell, which includes a bathroom and washtub.

Pray for Jorge and Marcos and the plans they have to expand the Kingdom in the Ocotepeque region. They are praying men and have the support of the men of the congregation to grow the work there.

We did an evangelistic campaign for two nights in the La Antigua Community Center. The best place for the children's classes was this porch, and it was a full crowd there.

We do a lot of things to help the people there, but the real reason we do what we do is to comply with the commands of Jesus in Matthew 28: 19, 20 We encourage the local preachers to be evangelistic, but we are thrilled when they are successful, as shown in these photos! Praise God!

The women at the Ilopongo prison have a choice of 4 occupations that they can learn while in prison. They can learn sewing, baking, cooking, and one that I cannot remember. Here they are in sewing classes. The facility for the class is crowded but adequate, and the machines appear to be very good. They learn to plan, layout, mark, cut, sew, etc. Many of them really want to do better when they are released.
