28 Days & Counting!

I can't believe I will be leaving for El Salvador in less than a month! Now that all of the details are being worked out I thought I'd update you on some of them. While I'm there I'll be staying in the Promise House which is a halfway home for teenage mothers and their babies. The house currently has 10 girls living there. Each of the girls has a child of their own living with them as well. All of the stories are so heart wrenching; it is hard to even imagine some of the things these girls have been through and experienced. Most of their stories are similar in that they became pregnant as a result of sexual abuse, usually by a family member. I can't even imagine the hurt, anger and confusion that must cause. Please keep all of the girls and their children in your prayers. I can't wait to see how God is moving and working in their lives already and I'm so thankful that I will get to be a part of their lives for a short period of time.
