It’s team time again!
In the next five weeks we will have three teams visiting us. Two one-week teams, and then a two-week team
at the end of October/beginning of November.
This week JoAnn and Amy are serving with us. Both have been to El Callejon (JoAnn on an
outreach, Amy as a part of the SI staff) and it’s so great to have them
back! Even though it’s been three years,
lots of the women and girls recognized one, or both, of them. That’s one way to know for sure what an impact
they made!

| Solanji and her two week old daughter |
Yesterday we started off the day in prayer and sharing
before heading out to see the community… and babies! Two of Coco’s daughters have had babies
within the past few months. Her grandson
is now three months old, her granddaughter just two weeks. Both moms (as well as another sister) live
with Coco, which makes for a full house.
Before leaving, we prayed for the family. And, we will continue to pray that God will provide
for these precious little ones, and that their moms (and dads!) would recognize
the need for Jesus in their lives.

| Sisters Denis and Luz with their gorgeous trees! |
In the afternoon, JoAnn shared some of her testimony with
our women. And, our women shared their
beautiful Arboles de Navidad (Christmas Trees) made with fabric and beads. Each one was a work of art, and the women
were justifiably proud.
Today JoAnn brought a wonderful craft for our Little Girls
(ages 4-10), decorating a cute plastic purse with stickers and glitter
glue. As we’re written before, the girls
just love glitter!

| The Treces hard at work drawing |
Amy taught the Teens and Treces (13-year olds) an art lesson
about focal points, and then had them draw some ideas for an El Callejon ‘logo’. We have a dream that we can develop it and
then put it onto the various things that the women make and sell. They did some great drawings!
Some of the best parts of the past two days have been
sitting together sharing our hearts. We
look forward to even more of this wonderful fellowship as the week continues.
What a blessing to pray with and for each
other, and for the people of El Callejon! We praise God for these sisters in Christ and the opportunity to minister together.
