THE JOURNEY
It all started two months after Jenny and Dave were married. They departed Springfield Missouri in 2002 and came to visit El Salvador as an extended honeymoon. Their vacation became a missionary vocation. The couple felt a huge desire to stay and serve even after many trials and hard times (including three hospital stays and absence of financial resources). God continues to be faithful supplying their financial needs as missionary-volunteers with a Salvadoran nonprofit called ENLACE (pronounced “en-lah-say”).
Since 1993, ENLACE has been equipping church and community leaders to identify, design and manage sustainable initiatives in rural El Salvador. ENLACE has worked with community leaders to develop health, infrastructure and economic community development initiatives. Such initiatives include five water systems (benefiting over 15,000 people), micro-loans (1,600 loans totaling more than one million dollars), preventative health education, health clinics (250 people served per month), new homes for more than 220 families, sanitation facilities for more than 300 families and many more sustainable projects.
