El Salvador

El Salvador is situated on the Pacific coast of Central America and has Guatemala to the west and Honduras to the north and east. It is the smallest of the Central American countries, with an area equal to that of Massachusetts, and it is the only one without an Atlantic coastline.* The population of the county is just over 8 million and of that number more than half profess Catholicism as their religion. It is the most densely populated of all the Central American nations and Spanish is spoken there.

For many years BIMI missionaries served in El Salvador, establishing a several churches which today are completely indigenous, but because of war and other factors, those missionaries had to leave. Out of those original churches, over 50 other churches have been started under national leadership. Today God is calling others to take up the banner and continue the work of evangelization, church planting and training national workers. Please pray for these laborers as they work in God’s harvest field of El Salvador. Can you help?
