Pray for Our Ellacuria Delegates
By Ron Leonhardt
On October 26, five delegates from Good Shepherd will leave Milwaukee’s airport for San Salvador, the capital of El Salvador, on their way to visit our brothers and sisters in Ellacuria. They are Dan and Lisa Nimmer, Peg and Ron Leonhardt, and Tom Dueppen, Jr. They will spend two days in Ellacuria, living with local families and celebrating the community’s return from Honduran refugee camps in 1990. They will also visit religious sites in El Salvador such as the chapel where Archbishop (Saint) Oscar Romero was assassinated and his tomb in the cathedral in San Salvador. Please support this delegation with your prayers until their safe return on November 1st.
The Ellacuria committee recently approved a request from Ellacuria for $2,275 for improvements at their Childrens’ Wellness Center. Thank you for your fair trade sale purchases and Combined Collections contributions which make this support possible.
