-
WHAT: We will be building 3 homes in El Salvador
-
WHEN: August 20-23, 2026
-
WHERE: El Salvador
-
WHY: We will be building 3 homes for families in need who have been connected and working with YWAM El Salvador. The work being done by the YWAM team in El Salvador is having a huge impact in the community. Current community members live in structures made of materials they have been able to find or purchase for a low cost in the area. In one weekend, we will be able to build a secure, safe home for a family. The work we do is a part of the larger work being done by the YWAM staff to show the community what a consistent life surrendered to Jesus Christ looks like. After we build the house, YWAM will continue to meet with and serve the family.
