El Salvador Missionaries
Elman & Minerva Pineda
About El Salvador The country of El Salvador has a long history of government disorder and vicious
criminal activity, but in 2022 President Nayib Bukele’s government arrested over 73,000 alleged gang
members and to date over 75,000 have been arrested, resulting in a decrease in homicides of 60% in 2022
and 70% in 2024. President Bulele is running for re-election. If he does not win, history could repeat itself.
Introduction
We are from the PCG Arkansas District. In 2008 we were called into missions. In 2012 we began our ministry
journey as church leaders and eventually became ordained pastors. In 2021 we enrolled in the PCG MDP,
which included an opportunity to serve in the nation of El Salvador for 18 months. In July of 2023 we were
appointed PCG missionaries to El Salvador.
The Vision and Mission
The vision for the country of El Salvador is to expand the Kingdom of God and gain ministerial permanency
and longevity. The mission is to spread the gospel through organized and specified community outreach
ministries with the goal of eventually establishing a Pentecostal Church of God National Center.
Current Field Progress
Thus far while we were in the United States presenting our field, Church P Project has been moving forward,
the Pastors and members have worked in unity and have been able to gain access to electricity, portable
water, and completed 50% of the building construction. We traveled back to Central America on February
27th of 2024 and expect for our immigration process to be finalized by July of 2024.

Unity and Collaboration brings Victory.
Luke 23:26 And as they led him away, they laid hold upon one Simon, a
Cyrenian, coming out of the country, and on him they laid the cross, that
he might bear it after Jesus.
