Day 4 (March 14, 2026)

Today was a full day!
- 2 water project dedications. An invitation to accept Christ was given at each project and people responded!
- When the communities initially heard we were bringing freshwater to them, they didn’t believe it, so for us to be there in that moment with them dedicating these projects meant the WORLD to them! Hundreds of people now have clean fresh water!

- Family fair and Festi kids was a huge success! From inflatables to face painting to a main stage program specifically for kids... it was a great time for all!

- Medical clinic- a team of 23 U.S and Salvadorian doctors and nurses saw 460 patients in 2 hours!

- The Festival was a tremendous success! Mike shared the Gospel and thousands responded! Then, Andrew Palau gave the second call and a sea of hands went up saying YES to a personal relationship with Jesus!

What a powerful week of collaboration with the Palau & GNE (Global Network of Evangelists- a ministry of Palau!) teams!

Day 5 (March 15, 2026)

- Sunday churches - we spoke in 14 local churches, encouraging and equipping and resourcing the congregations to care for and disciple the many new believers in the days, months, and years to come!

-Tomorrow our serve team members return home!

Day 3 (March 13, 2026)

-We held a press conference today building on the excitement of the festival !

-Mike visited Mariona prison where we held a mini - festival. Thousands heard the Good News and the response to the invitation was overwhelming!! Then, Andrew Palau shared his testimony & we saw more say to YES to Christ! What a tremendous door the Lord opened for us!

-There was a women's conference lead by our incredible Spanish team. Wendy Palau was the guest speaker who gave a powerful message! Women were equipped, encouraged, and blessed to be together!

-Tomorrow will be our water well dedications, medical clinic, Family Fair & Festi-Kids , and our big event!

Thank you for your prayers!

Day 1 (March 11, 2026)

-Today, our ten Serve Teams ministered at 20 local schools, performing a skit and sharing a message that each one was created for a purpose and has value to God!

-We also sent out four of our GNE partners (Global Network of Evangelists - a ministry of Palau). They were a huge hit with the local kids as they performed their tricks and skills.

-Mike visited CECOT - a massive, high-security prison designed to hold thousands of gang members. 5,000 of the prisoners sentenced to life in prison heard the Good News and thousands responded! In the words of Mike’s translator - Gerardo- “I don’t think I’ve ever felt the Holy Spirit like I did inside that prison!” It was a holy time and God gave Mike & our team great favor! All glory to God!



Day 2 (March 12, 2026)

-Today, our Serve Teams visited more local schools.

-This morning we hosted a National Pastoral Leadership Breakfast. We  were honored to have Andrew & Wendy Palau with us for this meeting with all the Heads of Denominations.

-This afternoon we had the privilege of meeting with the Secretary of Values of the Presidency.

-And tonight, we went to the Municipal Palace where the Mayor hosted our entire team. What an honor! This is the first time in the history of our ministry where we were invited to dinner with a mayor!

Thank you for praying!

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! 
‘A Second Chance’ Prison Outreach- Personal Care Kits
GOAL: $10,650
1,000 HYGIENE KITS

Through the distribution of Personal Care Kits, this initiative seeks to remind the incarcerated they are not forgotten, that forgiveness and restoration are possible, and that the grace of God writes new beginnings—even behind prison walls.
‘Hands that Feed’- Family Food Packages
GOAL: $11,250
250 FOOD BAGS

Our Family Food project aims to extend compassion and relief to vulnerable Salvadoran families by providing over 27 pounds of grocery staples that meet their essential needs for at least one full week. 
‘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

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

Dearest Friend,

It was a weekend full of Good News on the island of San Andrés!

→ 4 schools and 1,200+ students heard the Gospel.
→ 227 children responded to the salvation message.
→ 300 backpacks filled with school supplies were distributed.
→ 389 families in the cliff sector of the island benefited from a clean water project, impacting nearly 3,000 in the area. And through our first-ever compassion aid partnership project with Help Nations 80 families in that same community received bags of food. Our Jenna’s dream finally came to fruition, and her legacy lives on! It was overwhelmingly emotional and incredible.
→ 1,000 pastors and local church leaders gathered for two days of conferences.
→ We held a Family Fair on Saturday night where 400+ kids and their families joined the fun.
→  1,000 + attended the festival, hearing great music & the Gospel.
→ Hundreds of recorded decisions for Christ!

We praise the Lord who continues to show Himself strong–as Healer, Helper, Comforter, Friend, Father and Savior–in the lives of many!

Thank YOU too, cherished friend, for your abundant generosity in making this outreach possible! Your prayers and partnership continue to make a world of difference among the nations, in ways that matter most!

Gratefully Yours,

Friends,

I just returned home from an incredibly fruitful trip to Rwanda and Burundi, Africa. Our impact has been furthered and strengthened because of our collaboration efforts with our friends, ELLS International!

We are so grateful for the opportunity to partner with them and serve the African people through conferences and trainings on pastoral leadership, discipleship and evangelism.

Carly Blue Rawie, the U.S. Office Manager of ELLS sent out incredible newsletters throughout the trip…I wanted to share several compelling highlights from her reports that strongly moved my heart. I’m confident yours will be moved as well:
-The smell of burning garbage filled my nostrils as we landed in Burundi. I knew it was ranked the number one poorest country in the world, but nothing could have prepared me for what I saw. 6-year-old girls with babies strapped to their backs rushed our car, asking for money. Women washing their clothes in the brown sludge they call a river. Hundreds of people lined up at a gas station waiting for fuel trucks that have been stuck at the border for months. The city center is beyond third world. It’s a massive slum…
-I got to interview a few attendees, and their stories left me speechless. When asking how many people made up one pastor's church, he said “I have planted seven churches, each with around 200 people in them.” I asked how he made money, and he said, “I wake up, find enough work to put food on the table for that night and start again the next day.” WOW!
-The average salary of a Burundian is $220.00 a year. That is $18.30 a month, $4.58 a week and .60 a day. A regal cinema ticket in the U.S. is $19. Two McDonald’s Big Mac meals is $18.68. My favorite brand of lipstick costs $23. The tension I feel is overwhelming.
-When I asked a woman how many kids, she has she replied, ‘three biological and fifty orphans.’ Yes, FIFTY. 5-0. She pastors a church, but her heart is to see children come to know the Lord. There is story after story after story of pain and hardships mixed with joy and peace.
-I realize how heavy an update this is to read but I think it is important for us, Westerners, to know the reality of so many in the world.
 
These stories are the reason [our ELLS staff] come back again and again and again. It is tragic and awful and seemingly hopeless and yet, God has allowed us to be an encouragement and help to His beloved children.
As you now see and better imagine after reading Carly Blue’s words, it was an equally tragic and tremendous trip. Thank you, friends, for making ministry like this possible. It was an honor to join ELLS International on this life-changing outreach…my heart is both burdened and fulfilled.
 
Yours to make HIM known,
Mike Silva

In order to make your online giving experience more efficient, effective and easier than ever, we wanted to let you know about a partnership we have established with Pushpay. They are a digital engagement platform whose heart is to foster a culture of generosity through industry-leading software and unparalleled user support for mission-based organizations. 

Our staff has already made the transition to Pushpay and are very excited because we found it to be extremely simple - only requiring a couple of minutes to complete. 

Going forward, all new and existing gifts will be processed through Pushpay’s giving platform. If you have a recurring gift with MSI, you will need to now reschedule it through Pushpay. 

Recurring givers will receive an email on July 22, 2024, from no-reply@pushpay.com, with instructions on how to set up your gift with this new tool, as well as a step-by-step tutorial video from our Connections Director, Bianca Velasquez. Are you already familiar with Pushpay? Or are you simply ready to make the switch sooner than later? Wonderful!

We encourage you to watch this video for an early-access Pushpay tutorial so you can easily sign up right away, at your convenience! 

Also, rest assured, once you sign up and schedule your donation to MSI through Pushpay, our bookkeeper, Becky Hamilton, will be notified immediately and she will stop your monthly donation in the old system, ensuring a seamless transition.

If you have any questions whatsoever, please engage with our team...we are eager to assist you! 

Lastly, please note: you will automatically start receiving electronic giving receipts. If you prefer to opt-in to paper receipts, please call our office at: 503-614-1552. 

Thank you so much for the incredible blessing of your generosity as we continue to win, disciple, and help individuals globally... hand-delivering the grace and hope found only through our Lord Jesus!
