This holiday season, I have a bold Christmas Prayer List that I am eager to share with you! Our evangelistic Festival in San Salvador, El Salvador is coming March 14, 2026, just around the corner. We are aware that the spiritual harvest will be vast, yet the financial, physical, and logistical needs to make it all happen, are as well. More than anything, we covet your fervent prayers, and we humbly ask for your financial partnership as a shareholder in this Festival through one, or all, of the following outreach opportunities:
'Backpacks of Hope'
GOAL: $15,400
500 BACKPACKS
In El Salvador, classes begin at the end of February, and many families struggle to afford the supplies their children need to start the year with dignity and joy. That is why in March, we will launch the “Backpacks of Hope” School Supply Project, a collaborative initiative dedicated to blessing hundreds of children in vulnerable communities with backpacks filled with essential school supplies. Through this act of compassion, we aim to ease the burden on families and open the door to a new school year filled with hope, joy, and opportunity!

Community ‘Water for Life’ Project
GOAL: $30,000
WATER PROJECTS IN TWO DESTITUTE COMMUNITIES
“In many places, clean water is a luxury. Without it, wounds fester. Disease spreads. Hope fades... In many ways, you can’t fully live out the Gospel without it either. Because water is more than practical. It’s sacred.” -Luke Burgett, Medical Missions
These multiple water projects will directly benefit hundreds of families who currently face major challenges accessing clean water. Our team’s multi-faceted effort will include reinforcement of the existing reservoir, pipes, electrical, construction, placement and installation of the storage tanks, and guidance toward sustainability. This project aims to ensure access to clean water while fostering unity, dignity, and community empowerment. Each drop of fresh water will endure as a reminder that compassion changes lives!
Thanks to some of our generous ‘Festival Shareholders’, these water projects are already paid in full!

‘Vida Tour’ Buses for Festival Transportation
GOAL: $25,750
125 BUSES
Give the gift of safe, reliable, free transportation to and from the festival for women, children, and families! Many live in distant communities or face financial difficulties that make transportation a barrier.
By supporting this project, partners become part of every testimony, ensuring that no one misses the opportunity to meet Jesus because of distance or lack of means.

On behalf of myself, my Crystal, our family, and our entire dedicated MSI team, we THANK YOU, in advance, for your support. This is a big ask for one individual... however, linking arms together as a team of many is what will make it possible! You can count on this: every prayer lifted high, every dollar invested, and every moment spent as the hands and feet of Jesus on our serve team, will be spiritual fruit credited to YOUR ‘account’!
Blessings,
Mike Silva

Let’s partner together this Christmas—for the sake of the Gospel!
Ghana, Africa Praise Report!
Mike recently returned home safely from an outreach trip to Ghana, Africa. He served in the city of Accra in partnership with African Enterprise. This was the incredible praise report:
“Across all engagements, the mission reached a total of 121,133 people, resulting in 6,214 making decisions for Christ. More importantly, the mission deepened unity among churches, empowered believers for witness, and revealed the transforming presence of God across the city. The rallying declarations, 'The Church Must Go,' was not only spoken— it was lived. And it continues now, in discipleship, fellowship, and everyday witness. To God be the glory.” —African Enterprise, Accra Mission 2025 Report
