OSP Is Once Again  Sending Delegations to El Salvador!

The first OSP delegation since February 2020 landed in San Salvador on June 27, 2022, and returned to Des Moines on July 5th.  Trinity United Presbyterian in Indianola, Iowa, sent 10 people to reunite with the Pastoral Team and their friends in their Partner Communities of Casa de Zinc and Casa de Zacate.  More details on their visit can be found in Kathy Bassett's blog.
