Macedonia is calling…again!

El Salvador, a country of roughly six million people, has, according to the Government of El Salvador statistics, 70,000 known gang members from several gangs including MaraSalvatrucha (MS-13) and Eighteenth Street (M18).

Extortion is a very common crime in El Salvador not to mention in Guatemala as well.

Crime and violence with the current murder rate in El Salvador is the highest in the world, an annual rate of 103.1 murders per 100,000 citizens for 2015. In comparison, the U.S. rate is 4.5 per 100,000.

Last year you read our letter “The Macedonia Call”, which led us to initiate the first trimester of our Christians in Action Bible training curriculum in Chalatenanago, El Salvador. Now we are taking that course to the capital of San Salvador.

We begin a three-month Bible Training course June 13- Ag 28 in San Salvador. A three-month Advanced course and finally the three month leadership course are to follow. The Advanced course is planned for Chalatenango, El Salvador in Oct-Dec of this year.
