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 off and on 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. Some live in Mexico. Most of these were refugees of El Salvador s 13-year civil war.

What Are Their Lives Like?

Salvadorians have settled into this country that shares the same language. They have established their own organizations such as the Asociaci n Salvadore a Mexicana.

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 Mexico.

What Are Their Needs?

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