Mission to El Salvador: The People

Ahuachapan, the place chosen for our mission is a busy city of about one hundred thousand in the mountains of western El Salvador. It is quite Americanized, but by our standards, most of the people are poor. Some are very poor by any standard.

But life goes on. Mothers take their children to the park to play.

 

And young lovers are as young lovers have always been everywhere.

 

 The people of El Salvador are mostly friendly and welcoming.

 

 

 But it is a country of deep spiritual need. 

 The people bear heavy burdens. Both physical and spiritual.

 

 

More and more Salvadorans are turning from the centuries-old traditions of Roman Catholicism to evangelical churches, where they are finding new life in a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
