IGLESIA DE ASAMBLEAS CRISTIANAS, LA LOMA

Asamblea de Iglesias Cristianas Church is a semi-urban congregation of 75 members located in central El Salvador. For many years its pastor, Felix Amaya, witnessed the impact of the Buen Samaritanio Church in Las Delicias, led by his longtime friend and ENLACE pioneer Pastor Miguel Duran. In 2007, Pastor Miguel invited Pastor Felix to an ENLACE training meeting and soon after he decided to become a partner.

Initially, Pastor Felix was unsure about the importance of reaching out to his community; his Biblical training focused his energy to projects and people inside the church. But after working on a road repair project, he recognized the importance of the church’s presence in its community. Since that time, the church has implemented a thriving home garden project benefiting 90 people. Pastor Felix ‘s own home is the site of the training center. He also provides space to families that don't have their own land. Though its outreach, the church has been able to create meaningful relationships with the community.

The goals for 2012 are to continue to strengthen the church’s leadership through ongoing coaching and training and to implement infrastructure, health and economic development projects.
