Introduction / History

Salvadorians are those who are citizens of El Salvador, Central America. El Salvador has faced many times of troubles. Political instability has plagued them sporadically for several decades. They don t have the resources to recover from natural disasters quickly. For these reasons, there is a Salvadorian diaspora in six countries. Most of these are either in Europe or North America.

What Are Their Lives Like?

Salvadorian culture has Spanish and Native American elements. They prefer bright colors in their clothes and art. Their cuisine includes black beans, fried plantains, tamales, and pupusas. Pupusas includes a thick corn tortilla filled with meat or vegetables, covered with pickled cabbage and hot sauce.

What Are Their Beliefs?

Though Roman Catholicism is dominant among Salvadorians, there is an exceptionally high percentage of Evangelicals among them. Salvadorians can serve God as his ambassadors in El Salvador.

What Are Their Needs?

They need the spiritual hunger it takes to embrace Christ no matter what people say.

Prayer Points

Pray for the Holy Spirit to do a powerful work in Salvadorian families and churches in El Salvador.
Pray for their communities to be blessed as they put their faith and hope in the Lord.
Pray for Salvadorians to disciple the least reached people in Latin America.
