On 21 June 2025, Jhoselyn Barrios (Missionary Mobilization coordinator) and Ingrid Jocholá (International Nazarene Missions coordinator) undertook a four-hour trip from Guatemala to the city of Santa Ana in the Western District of El Salvador. They were accompanied by Jeremías Ac, Donald Lima, and Alisson González--members of the Missionary Mobilization (MM) team from the North Central Field. Their goal was to join the work that the Holy Spirit is already doing through the Genesis missionaries: Teresa, Emmanuel, and Icsa.

The team arrived to encourage, pray, and spend time with the missionaries, while also observing and coordinating future service opportunities, such as the Pablo Project and short-term cross-cultural experiences (lasting 1 to 3 months). One of the main activities was the first Medical-Dental Brigade organized by the Genesis team in Colonia España. The team provided general consultations, dental cleanings, and medication distribution, but most importantly, the message of salvation was shared. As people waited, team members prayed with them; during the dental cleanings, oral hygiene lessons were used to explain how Christ can also cleanse our hearts.

"I went to Dr. Emanuel for a dental cleaning and then a consultation with Dr. Icsa," said Linda, a resident of Colonia España. "The medication worked well for me, and the care was excellent. Everyone was very attentive. We're very grateful because things like this don't happen often, and I'm grateful for their care."

During this outing, the Genesis team received valuable support from three young people from the Nazarene Youth International (NYI) of Chalchuapa and the North Central Field Missionary Mobilization team. Together, they conducted door-to-door and street evangelism, accompanied by Pastor Julio Alemán. This activity was a great blessing, allowing people in the community to learn about the Church of the Nazarene.

The impact goes beyond a single activity. These events are part of an evangelistic strategy designed to connect families in the communities where the missionaries serve. In Colonia Solórzano, for example, they have established relationships with families who are beginning their journey with Jesus, helping them experience community life. In both sectors, weekly services are held on Sundays in Colonia España and on Saturdays in Solórzano.

The presence of Genesis missionaries is felt throughout the week. With only four months on the mission field, the team has begun a steady effort. Team members visit schools Tuesday through Thursday, mentoring students in grades seven through nine. On Fridays, they promote healthy recreation with children's activities at the Carmen Elena Escalón School. 

Additionally, every Thursday, they organize sports events at the Solórzano sports center, where they share gospel principles through games and conversations. New young people have joined these activities every week. More than 23 students are enrolled in music classes. And every Saturday, in addition to learning theory and technique, the sessions begin with a biblical reflection. 

"We come here with many expectations, gifts, talents, and abilities… but God's expectations have been much higher," said Emanuel Guerro, a Genesis missionary. "When we say yes to the Lord, he uses each of our abilities to share his love with others… I do it with my instruments, telling them that God wants to see them smile eternally, and to do so, they must accept him as their Savior. Let us come to Christ with everything we have in our hands, without reservation, without doubt, and he will use it so that others may know of his love."
