Queridos amigos (dear friends),

Another month has passed of waiting, watching, and praying. I'm so grateful for each and everyone one of you and your commitment to this ministry in prayer and finances!

This past month, God has impressed upon me the importance of remembering. Many of the people I talked to this month expressed feelings of frustration at the thought of continuing quarantine and the uncertainty of a "new normal." I'm right there with you. When I brought these feelings before Jesus, he asked me, "Aren't I enough for you? Your calling is not to El Salvador, it's to be my disciple wherever you are." I'm prone to getting discouraged when my support fluctuates or I can't tell what my next step is. Throughout the Bible, God tells us to remember His faithfulness towards His people. Let us remember what He's done in our lives, be encouraged, and praise Him for it!

Storm Recovery

Thank you for your prayers and donations towards relief efforts in La Libertad!! Your generosity made it possible to send $850 to the church to aid in purchasing supplies for building beds, cooking meals, and distributing clothing and furniture to those whose homes were ravaged by the storm.

To those of you who are new to my updates, you can read about Tropical Storm Amanda and the effects on La Libertad in my last update.

Good News!

El Salvador's government has released their phased plan to reopen. It incorporates 5 phases, beginning in the middle of June and lasting until the beginning of September. After that, hopefully things will be "back to normal" (the new normal, at least). This plan may still be uncertain because of storm recovery and spikes in Covid, but if things go according to the plan, they will reopen the borders to international travelers on August 18! This means that as soon as I reach full support I will be set to go 🙌🏼🎉.

With that said, my goal is to be fully funded by August 1! I still have about 24% of my goal to raise. Please pray with me that God would provide people to share my ministry vision with!

In order to make this happen, there's a few ways that I'd like to ask you to participate:

Would you bring this before the Lord and ask Him if He's leading you to participate in this ministry financially?
If you're already a part of my team, would you prayerfully consider increasing your monthly gift?
If you gave a special gift, would you prayerfully consider making it a recurring gift?

The last 24% of my monthly goal is equal to about $1000. That could look like this:

$100/mo: 👤 👤 👤 👤 👤

$50/mo: 👤 👤 👤 👤 👤 👤 👤 👤 👤 👤

Are you one of these people?

Thank you in advance for your prayerful consideration and ongoing generosity! Because of your generosity I have 76% of my support and with your help in accordance with God's will, I'll be on my way to El Salvador soon.

Pray with Me

Storm Recovery and health- Members of the La Libertad church are hard at work building beds, distributing food and clothing and caring for the physical needs of the community in the wake of the storm. Please continue to pray for their health and safety.
Safety and reopening in El Salvador- please pray that the Lord would give me peace about His timing.
Support raising
Perseverance and contentedness in the waiting

Let me know how I can be praying for you!

Brothers and sisters, I am deeply grateful for how you uplift and encourage me daily. Through your prayers and financial support for this ministry, you are storing up treasure in heaven!! How amazing is that?? What an incredible God we serve.

With you in Christ,

Alyssa

Philippians 4:17-20

Not that I desire your gifts; what I desire is that more be credited to your account. I have received full payment and have more than enough. I am amply supplied, now that I have received from Epaphroditus the gifts you sent. They are a fragrant offering, an acceptable sacrifice, pleasing to God. And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.

To our God and Father be glory for ever and every. Amen.
