El Salvador is a poor, insecure, corrupt country with few opportunities for personal improvement and employment. The country is plagued by gangs, drugs, misery, mourning and kidnappings. These have caused the migration epidemic expelling millions of Salvadorans from their land. The church in the capital city, San Salvador, has built a facility with the help of VISA teams.
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.
