In February, a group from The Crossing Church in Costa Mesa, California made their 5th visit to the community of Las Delicias, continuing its partnership with The Good Samaritan Church that started over four years ago. The primary project has been to help fund and work alongside the community in building a new water system. This year, the group had the privilege of working on a third main water tank that will have the capacity to benefit over 15,000 people. During the going away service, more than 80 people attended. Less than half of this turnout were church members. Pastors of other local church partners also attended along with water board and community association members. And to the community’s great delight, a group of 7 lay leaders from the local catholic church came to share in the fun and help cook pupusas (a typical Salvadoran food).
