A special thanks to our partner churches…
We want to take a moment to express our deep gratitude to all the churches that took part Learning and Serving Trips in the 2025 summer season: North Way Christian Community, New Hope PCA, Mission Hills, Discovery and Galilea.
Without a doubt, your physical presence and participation was a blessing to our entire organization and to all of the programs and ministries that we carry out each day at Mission To El Salvador.
As we reflect on this time, the Biblical passage of Exodus 17:8-16 comes to my mind. The people of Israel faced a crucial battle. As long as Moses kept his arms raised, the people prevailed. But when he grew tired – he needed support to continue holding his arms up. When he lowered them, the enemy began to gain ground. That’s when others came to help him, allowing his hands to remain steady until victory was achieved.
There are moments and seasons when our team needs renewed strength to continue in the work with the communities the Lord allows us to minister to each day. In those moments, we feel the support and encouragement that each of you brings to us, strengthening our faith and inspiring us to remain steadfast in the calling that God has given us.
Not only were the teens in the New Dawn Residential Program and the men and women of the Lighthouse Resource Center blessed; but every member of our team was deeply impacted. The training sessions, Bible studies, and conversations that we shared with you have left a profound and meaningful mark on our organization.
We can’t thank you enough for the love, joy, and commitment with which you came to serve alongside of us.
Thank you for walking with us, for lifting our arms when they have grown weary, and for reminding us that we are one body, on church, and one mission.
With gratitude,
The Mission To El Salvador Team
