Esteban and Cris Flores, originally from Baja California, Mexico, are fruitful leaders in the Free Methodist Church. For the past 15 years, they have served in various roles – worship leaders, youth pastors, short-term mission leaders and pastors of a local church.

In addition to leading JUMELI, Cris oversees the affiliations team and administers the area-wide database. Esteban will be working with the area-wide mentoring team in addition to his leadership of JUMELI to develop and multiply young leaders. They will also lead the Free Methodist ministry in El Salvador.
