PRESENT MINISTRIES

An active social outreach program to needy children, a vital youth group and an evangelistic outreach program are helping establish the church in Chile. Undaunted by the length of the country (nearly 3,000 miles), the conference wants to cover Chile from north to south with FM churches. The conference has successfully launched church-planting efforts in the capital city of Santiago and churches that minister to the indigenous Mapuche people in southern Chile. The conference was also instrumental in beginning the FMC in Argentina, Bolivia, Peru and Uruguay.

OUTREACH TO THE WORLD

The conference has successfully launched church-planting efforts in the capital city of Santiago and churches that minister to the indigenous Mapuche people in southern Chile. They have also sent missionaries to begin the Free Methodist Church in Argentina, Bolivia, Peru and Uruguay.

ORIGINS

In February 1985 Sergio Loyola, pastor of an independent holiness Methodist church in Chillan, Chile, wrote to the Latin America Area Director about the possibility of joining the Free Methodist Church. Personal contact followed. Groups of believers in three other cities also inquired. In February 1986, the Free Methodist Church of Chile was officially organized.
