Pastor's Retreat

I have been invited to return to El Salvador, June 9 -15, and Lord willing, my daughter Tori will be going with me.  I'm writing to ask you to pray for this trip...We are still planning the actual ministry for that week, but so far this is what I understand our ministry will be:

• Encouraging Rolando and Alexandra.  This has been a tough few months for them personally and professionally.  The funding for the Pastor's Institute dried up, which not only affected the pastor's institute, but also Rolando's salary.  I'm looking forward to being with Rolando and Alexandra!!
• Strengthening our partnership with our 1st mission in Antiguo Cuscatlan...Lord willing we will be with our first mission.  It is hard to believe that we are in our 4th year of our partnership with them!  Please pray that God will continue to raise up leadership that they can constitute and become a church!
• Seeing the outreach at our 2nd mission at Cuidad Obrera.  All reports are that this mission is growing!  I'm so anxious to see the progress as this church is only 3 or 4 months old!  I'm anxious to bring the report back to you!!
• I will be leading a one day pastor's retreat.  The fellowship with the pastor's is so sweet and they are so appreciative when we invest in them.
• Planning for our next church-wide group trip.

Please pray for these folks:

• Rolando and Alexandra
• Antiguo Cuscatlan mission
• Cuidad Obrera mission
• The Pastor's Retreat

First Baptist Church, Millersville, is planning a construction trip to El Salvador in November.  We may try and join them!  I mention this now, because there may be some guys who would be interested in doing construction in El Salvador.  There is an intitial planning meeting on May 21st for all interested.  If this interests you, please let me know and I will give you more information.

Please  consider prayerfully if you would like to give to our Kingdom efforts in El Salvador.  If you are praying about going on the next trip, please let me know.

For the Kingdom!

Pastor Mike
