This whole last week has been really amazing. By the grace of God, I was able to return to the Ilobasco Detention Center on Tuesday to work some more with the girls there. The love of God and the power of the Holy Spirit is seriously moving in that place. When David (OH coordinator in Ilobasco) and I first went in there a couple weeks ago, we met only 2 Christian girls out of the 30 that were there. After 3 weeks and much prayer, we now have at least 15 Christ-followers among the girls in that center. A few of them accepted Christ in their hearts while we were with them. Others gave their lives to Him on their own, and later confessed to the group their decision. No matter how it happened, we give thanks and glory to the only One to whom it is due: our great and awesome God in heaven.
Today is my last day in the CISNA orphanage. I was very sad leaving the girls in Ilobasco, and I know it will be difficult to leave my little amigos in CISNA, as well as the amazing Orphan Helpers staff there. Thank you so much for all your prayers. I'm sorry I didn't update this blog more often, but I look forward to seeing all of you and sharing face-to-face the amazing things God has been doing in El Salvador.
God bless,
Scott
PS More pictures to come before I leave Monday!

Hi Scott,
I was actually looking for more information about CISNA because I spent some time there this past July. I made so many wonderful friendships with the boys and I'm staying in contact with two of them. You actually have a picture of both of them!! Unfortunately, I talked to one of the boys on Wed. and he told me that his best friend ran away last Friday. I just broke down but God reminded me that he's safe in His hands. I am part of Destino which is latino Christ-centered movement that is a part of Campus Crusades for Christ. We spent the whole month July in San Salvador sharing our faith with college students, the girls at the detention center, and at the orphanage. I miss it sooo much!! Your pictures certainly brought back great memories and I really hope to visit soon. Do you happen to have the adress for CISNA? Well if you do my name is Melissa and my email is hooper25_06@hotmail.com
God bless!
