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 2022, they joined a team to coordinate an area-wide Youth Summit called JUMELI and are now leading the JUMELI movement across the Latin America Area.

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.
