Country-style church fellowship (Guazapa, El Salvador)

[Jacob Ben Avraham]

We visited this small house congregation near the city of Guazapa, about one hour from San Salvador, off the beaten path. In a small "Canton" (village). We had our music and reading of the Psalms, and I brought a teaching over the Creation and Fall in Genesis. Afterward, we had praise and worship and some coffee and sweet bread. Together with the dogs and cats, and of course a lot of flies. The 4 calves and the cow were in the back of the house. Just a little place off the beaten path. A very sincere place with love and fellowship.

The subjects in this photo do not look happy did you not bring money? That;s clearly what they really need.

We have limited funds, but in January, we bring them gifts, clothing, foodstuffs, "Hanukkah" gifts, they look happy to me. They are a very happy and joyful family, looks can be deceiving.

Interesting subject - what were the settings? I think the shutter speed was too slow. Thanks for sharing.

I think a flash would have been a better idea, the low light has made it blurry.

I like this image. It has a sense of family and is not forced.
