Final Post from San Salvador

July 23, 2010

Once again I´m posting earlier than I normally do because I won’t get back to the house where I’m staying until late and then I’ll have to get up at some crazy hour to make my 0715 flight home in the morning. I’m at least 30 minutes from the airport, so you do the math to see when I’ll be getting up.

Our new friend Gabriel came through surgery fine this morning by the grace of God. The surgeons said the tumor appeared to be intact and had not spread. So, by taking out the kidney they are confident he can live a normal life with some minimal life style changes. Thanks again for your prayers.

This morning I finished up the teaching on missions for pastors and leaders. Tonight is my final message and I’ll be discussing the church as the missionary. Last night I spoke on the new missionary. What’s interesting is that Sunday I’ll be preaching the same message in English at KCBT. What is the profile of what I have been calling the “new missionary?” See you Sunday!

Querido hermano Jeff; It was a great joy to receive this powerful message from the LORD at Auditorium Cristiano. My disciple(Fredy) and I understood that the missionary is the church and the church is the missionary. Oh, may the LORD have mercy on us so that we all understand that the body of CHRIST can be more effective in acomplishing the great commission together. As time passes by I have seen some of our churches here in El Salvador becomming very comfortable when it comes to missions. Some believers think missions is putting money in an envelop once a month or during a mission’s conference. Others believe we are acomplishing the task just because of the public reading of a missionary report overseas and our prayer for him once in a while. The idea that everyone(this all the body, all the church) can be a missionary is refreshing to my soul and spirit. As I told you my pastor Juan Galdamez was in Argentina in a training. I will transmit these teachings in my church too. Again, it was a tremendous joy to see you. DIOS LO BENDIGA, Oscar.

Jeff & Gabriel,

This note is posted as encouragement to Gabriel and his family. My son had a malignent kidney tumor which resulted in the kidney being removed 20 years ago. He was on interfuron for several months and has been doing fine since recovering from the surgery. As a welder, his work is physically demanding and he also works out regularly. PRAISE God for His grace and mercy and may Gabriel have a speedy recovery.
