After three long years of not being able to travel to El Salvador, by the grace of God, we were able to pick up right where we left off. Our team consisted of Jason, Holly and Jacob Bollinger, Kati Ortiz, David Cuchillas (our El Salvador Country Director), his wife Rebe, and quite often by their sweet girls Grace and Cami.
Over the course of 6 days, we trained over 50 leaders and ministered to more than 200 people. Pastors, Youth Leaders, Ministry Leaders, Healthcare Leaders, Compassion International Leaders, Business Leaders, School Leaders, and Children's Home Leaders were among those impacted.
We trained in practical tools designed for Kingdom-focused leaders to increase their capacity for the good work they do every day for people in desperate need. The feedback was overwhelming. We now have more invitations to return and to build on the foundation we poured on this trip. So many things felt like dreams come true. Conversations we started 6 years ago turned into real transformational help for those we were able to serve.
On top of that, we provided Special Needs training for orphanage caregivers, we distributed 40 water filter kits for families in a very humble area, and we ministered with our friends Damian and Rosita at their church in Corinto.
Our #LinksFamily in El Salvador is rapidly growing, and we can’t wait to return soon and see where our GOOD NEWS opportunities take us. Please keep praying for this beautiful country and these amazing people. God is at work!

In a rural corner of South Asia, where disability often means isolation, shame or exclusion, a rare and radiant gathering recently took place. Hosted by South Asia Access (an Act4You account) in partnership with Joni and Friends, a U.S.-based Christian non-profit dedicated to serving families affected by disability, the International Family Retreat became a sacred space of rest, restoration and radical belonging.
