El Salvador

The Fredericksburg District has a history of mission in El Salvador working with the Evangelical Methodist Church in El Salvador. District United Methodist Volunteers in Mission teams have been traveling to El Salvador since 2013, with the most recent team having just returned in April of 2015. Currently, the teams are helping to build a new sanctuary, parsonage, and Sunday School rooms on property purchased using a donation from the Churches of the Fredericksburg District. For more information about the District's mission in El Salvador or to learn how you or your church can become involved, please contact Rev. Janet Grissett, the District's El Salvador Mission Coordinator. Opportunities to be involved in helping in El Salvador include student sponsorship, direct donations, mission team suppport, medical supplies collections, or mission team participation.

 Hello Friends, 

As you might remember, our next district El Salvador mission trip is scheduled for a March 28th departure.

However,  we have been tracking the difficult situation of increased violence particularly in San Salvador where the International airport is located. The incidents of violence include the deaths of foreigners.

In light of these occurrences and the ongoing US Department of State travel warnings, we have prayerfully discerned that VIM stance of safety first lead us to the difficult decision to cancel the 2016 mission trip.

We join our El Salvador Methodist partners in prayers for an end to this situation.  We will continue to monitor the situation as well seek alternate ways to offer our support to the Methodist Church of El Salvador."

Pastor Ted
