PRESENT MINISTRIES
Two overcrowded, transformational schools serve at-risk children. Through a partnership with ICCM and individual donors, they plan to purchase a new property to serve as the high school and adult learning center for both schools. The church is passionate about transforming the society for Christ. In addition to the established churches and schools, they are actively involved in Community Church Planting, providing adult education and offering cafeterias for children. They have developed multiple microenterprise projects to meet the needs of pastors and churches in the district.
Likewise, they intentionally invest in ministry in a neighboring country, sending a missionary team regularly to serve and train leaders preparing them to become a separate mission district. The work in this densely populated country is growing.
ORIGINS
Nicaragua: The Free Methodist Church in Nicaragua was planted through the efforts of the Costa Rican FMC in 1995. Nicaraguan leaders with a heart for ministry were identified and recruited by Costa Rican Superintendent Jorge Gomez. After a long battle with declining health, the founder of the Free Methodist Church in Nicaragua, Luis Ampie, passed away in 2010.
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.
