El Shaddai School
Santa Ana, El Salvador
We arrived at the school at 10:30 am. Their school day starts at 7:00 am. The morning school has approximately 450 children and their afternoon school has about 250 children. The church started the school in 2000 to make sure children were being raised with Christian values in their teachings. We spoke to two classes in the morning and one in the afternoon.
Our first class was the 7th graders….Hatcher’s age group. The children were very curious about our travels and we were able to share many stories about the people and places we visited. Reid shared the Gospel and we gave out the salvation bracelets.
After school the children gathered around for a photo, Pastor Ena is on the right.
Our second class was the kindergarten class… we all sat on the floor in a big circle as we talked.
They were precious and constantly moved forward to get closer to us. At the end, we were all in the middle surrounded by these energetic and excited children. We sang for them and they sang for us.
Our last class was the third graders in the afternoon school. This class had over 30 children. When we asked if anyone wanted to accept Christ into their hearts, over half the class came forward. I asked the translator to please explain to them they were making a commitment to Christ and ensure they knew what they were doing. He spoke to them and soon they were all nodding their heads that they knew and wanted to pray to receive Christ. Our translator Julio led them in prayer and I prayed over them afterwards.
How blessed we were to be a part of this!
Those who accepted Christ with Julio, our translator and Grier.
The boys are thrilled to have Grier with us, as am I!
