Thank you for your prayers during our recent Pastor & Church Leader retreat. Once again this 3-day retreat was a blessed time! Eleven Salvadoran churches (39 pastors and church leaders) and the ENLACE staff enjoyed a wonderful time in Biblical teaching, prayer, worship as well as plenty of time for games and friendly soccer matches. Time was also spent on Biblical training of servant leadership, practical discussions about specific experiences & best practices shared, as well as regional strategic planning for the coming year.
The deep desire for and dialogue about community transformation was particularly exciting. And it was amazing to see that very transformation at work in the discussions and interactions of the event. As the different church leaders described challenges and blessings, prayed for one another, discussed the opportunities for transformation in their shared regions and listened to one another, the sense of community among the leadership present was strengthened. This sense of unity combined with their joined commitments to serve their individual communities with sacrificial love, promises healthy and sustainable efforts that will bring hope and healing throughout communities in El Salvador.
Check back over the next week to check out videos and photo slideshows from the event.
