As we continue to navigate this global pandemic, we wanted to update you on our current activities in El Salvador. During this time of severe quarantine in El Salvador, A.B.L.E. has been providing food bags to those marginalized groups whom we would normally be serving while in El Salvador. Unemployment and lack of income coupled with the inability to move about their country except on allowed days to specific food stores, many people find themselves without basic resources. So during this time of specific need, A.B.L.E. has been providing funding to multiple ministry partners in San Salvador, Cojutepeque and Sonsonate to enable them to buy food for those in need.

We are grateful to those who faithfully support A.B.L.E. Ministries. Your support enables us to provide food for those most vulnerable and in need during this challenging time. If you would like to help us continue our support please CLICK HERE.

In addition, and God willing, we are moving forward with our plans for our September 30 – October 10, 2020 outreach to Cojutepeque where we will be custom fitting 200 wheelchairs. We will also spend some time in San Salvador working with at-risk kids and adults who are former gang members and prostitutes. We seek volunteers with a variety of skills but all with a heart to be the hands and feet of Jesus as we serve the disabled and those most marginalized. If you are interested in finding out more about this outreach, CLICK HERE.

Please continue to pray for all of those affected by coronavirus and its implications throughout the world. We ask that you pray God will allow us to return to serve in El Salvador this fall and that we can continue to help meet the basic needs of the Salvadoran people in the interim. Please Pray for the future activities of A.B.L.E. Ministries as we look to serve the Lord according to His plan and purpose.

I wanted to share some pictures of the food bag delivery done with food purchased through ABLE. Due to the severe “lock down” for coronavirus, many are struggling just to provide a meal for their families. The populations we serve, already at risk and with minimal to no resources, have been impacted even more severely with the closing of the markets in their area. These pictures are of Brother Luis and Kevin distributing food bags to the families and kids served by their programs in the area surrounding Central American Mission Church. During this distribution ABLE provided food for 30 kids and 18 adults from 19 families. The food bags provided included staples such as rice, beans, corn meal, sugar, dried milk, oil, pasta, etc. This should provide meals for these families for at least a couple of weeks as they often are not used to eating more than one meal per day.

We have also funded food bags for Pastor Paco’s church which serves former gang members. This is another group that was already struggling to feed their families prior to COVID-19. In addition, we are trying to develop resources for our friends in Cojutepeque. This is an area where there are many with disabilities already living in very poor communities with little or no help.

Although the need is great everywhere, the resources in the United States far outweigh those found in a developing country. Even with the many struggles that Americans are going through our blessings far outweigh those found in El Salvador and elsewhere. If you would like to help fund food bags for El Salvador please CLICK HERE to help us meet the basic needs for food in El Salvador. Your donations will bless many with 100% of your donation going to meet this need.

May God richly bless you for your sacrifice as you serve the least of these in His name!
