El Salvador is one of the most violent countries in Latin America with gangs, drugs and kidnappings. The church in the capital city, San Salvador, has built a facility with the help of VISA teams. The Guatemala Jesus mi Amado District of the Mid-America Conference has also started work in El Salvador.
Jose Eduardo Rauda, a FM pastor in Texas had to return to his home country of El Salvador with his family in the early 1990’s due to changes in immigration policies. In spite of the ongoing civil war, Pastor Rauda began evangelizing and planted a congregation. In 1995 Free Methodist World Missions became aware of his work and officially incorporated the church into the Free Methodist family when he returned to the U.S.
