Well it is official . . .


Tonight I was given, along with Randy, by Pastor Carlos who is the president and owner
of the Colegio Nazareth Seminary, a diploma of recognition as and to Pastor Stan Rogers.
Dated and Certified. Praise God!



Day 4: 3rd and last day of speaking

Just back to the room about ½ hour ago after a very long day to Santa Ana and back. We were very close to the Guatemala border. The meeting today was the biggest while we were here. I have learned that numbers are not as important as hunger, but in the case of this meeting they had both. There was least 60 plus pastors, wives and lay people there to absorb all that Pastor Randy and I had for them in a 7 hour session. Praise God for the desire to learn, to pray, to praise and to come forward for the anointing service. By looking at the web site you can see all the pics that I have been sending through out the day. The church was very nice and the people were very joyful and hungry. Had a great in house lunch once again that has carried us through to now.

The drive there was beautiful. So much agriculture to see. Corn is all over the hill sides along with beans, coffee in the treed areas and rice and corn etc in the lowlands. Some of the pics will show all of that. Our purpose in coming to El Salvador was to minister to the local Pastor’s. Our mission was a success. We have met many dear people while here. So gracious and so beautiful. God moved mightily in the hearts of those that helped as well as those that we ministered to. Our translator Carlos could not say enough about how this time of working with us has changed and energized his life and ministry. This is what these trips are all about Praise God! Well that is all for now. More to show and tell when we get back.

See you all Sunday if not before. I do want to say some things about El Salvador. Of all the foreign countries I have gone to this is truly a beautiful country. The landscape the industriousness of the people, the highways, bridges, streets, buildings and housing is a lot like ours back in the states. Yes there are poor areas, but poverty is not so over whelming. El Salvador has to be listed as 2nd world country if not better. The schools are good, the place is very clean.

People smoke little and I have to say that I did not see one TATTOO this whole trip on anyone. Why is that?? Why is it a form of expression in the USA and down here they are just who they are. Trust me it is not for a lack of money. One other reason the El is so important to the USA is that they are a fordable ally against drugs and piracy. Our US Coast Guard is very active here as well. The economy is strong and the tourist business makes for a very nice place to come. Well that is it for now. Keep Looking Up!

Lunch at the Circulo Cristiano Filadelfia Church.
Excellent meeting here in Santa Ana.





As usual we came upon another Nana while away.
Here is a woman 90 years old that God blessed when we were talking to her and giving her some financial goodness.
She was so sweet.


Good Morning . . .

God is good . . .

How Sweet He Is . . .



Greetings my friends,

Let me try and condense what has taken place since leaving Monday.

We had a great flight to Dallas with really nice seats. From Dallas to El Salvador we got to move around and had all the room we needed. Upon landing in San Salvador we were greeted by the pastors who are helping put the Reid Saunders Association Festival together. From Portland the translator and interpreter Ruth was with us all the way in. Very sweet and does all of this work to Glorify God.

We Got to our room which is very nice, had a bite to eat and then settled in for the night.

DAY 2: First Speaking Engagement

Our second day was long and exciting day. This was our first speaking engagement. We were to be in San Miguel at 9:00 AM. We left the Hotel by 6:20 and because of a huge 40 foot van truck going off a 85% slope on our side of the road we were delayed for 1.5 hours at least.

Once in Miguel we adjusted our talks and we proceeded to watch how the God, through His Word and the Holy Spirit, began to work in the lives of the people there. It was a blessed time from beginning to end. We had our lunch catered and it was very enjoyable. At the end of each day Pastor Randy said that we are going to ask each person to spend time in prayer and reflect. After praying they were to come up to the front where he first would pray and anoint with oil and then the same for me. Beautiful. When we were done with the individual prayer time we then gathered in a circle and sang Hallelujah and then dismissed. Such a blessing as the men and women were stirred and moved. God is good. After the meeting we began a 3 hour road trip back to the hotel for food and needed rest. Great First Day!!!

DAY 3: In flies a dove.

Our third day was very close to our hotel. 10-15 minutes away. Had McDonald breakfast #2 with coffee and we were ready to go. There were more people here today and we had the full 6 hours between us. Each of us had 3 sessions as the day before, but there was much more time. We praised, we worshiped, we preached, we taught, we had a great home made El Salvador meal and all ate at one table as you can see on the web site. Each session was exciting as we taught on all kinds of subject matter.

During my last session as the Spirit of God was moving amongst us, in the side open door of the church flies a DOVE! I stopped and reference the Holy Spirit the Dove flew around the church. Praise God! These men and women were more expressive at times then the firs day, but both church gatherings had there own flavor. One man had a vision during the morning session where he saw an Angel of God standing by Pastor Randy and a Fountain of Living Water flowing down over him. Let the Power Fall!!! He turned to me and shared that he saw 3 large figures in white standing on my right on the left of Oscar the interpreter and one in the middle while I was speaking. Powerful to say the least.

Speaking of Pastor Oscar, he is wonderful. He is a man that is anointed of God and flows freely and rapid fire with his interpretations. It reminds me of Pastor Hudson Suubi.

Well we are back at the hotel again and I am catching up on emails with the free wireless service down stairs in the lobby. This has been a wonderful trip and we are looking forward to Thursday our final day. We are expecting and believe that God will move in a mighty way both at these meetings as well as the RSA Festival this weekend and through out next week.

I thank Tim and Kelly for the updates that both are doing.

Please enjoy and know that we appreciate your prayerful support and love.

God Bless. Make sure you check out the web site.

What is El Salvador like . . .

All is well here!

We have a nice Nissan van driven by one of the pastors. El Salvador would be considered a 2nd world country.

Very modern, financially strong, main ally in Central America to the USA. Excellent roads and bridges. Good electric grids. Lots of agriculture and coastal activities and resorts. These people really like sushi and the currency here is the American dollar. Pretty awesome.
