In El Salvador’s coastal region of La Libertad, La Red serves as a place of hope for families living in social vulnerability. Our organization serves more than 200 Salvadoran families across 32 neighborhoods, providing comprehensive programs to children, youth, and adults for over twenty years. We have committed our efforts to loving God and serving all through assistance, education, and restoration.

At the heart of all our work is a core belief in spiritual and personal restoration through a life-giving relationship with Jesus. Our church model is primarily relational, centered on teaching and living out biblical principles.  It is only through walking together toward Christ that we can truly experience transformation and the abundant life that the Lord has for us.  

Over the years we have trained and encouraged a group of more than 30 volunteer leaders that care for their neighborhoods. .  Through these leaders, we have been able to share the Gospel with thousands of families in the communities we serve.  We seek to enable each of our leaders to love those around them by sharing and living out the saving love we have in Jesus. 

This work is not only long term, it is costly.  Relational ministry requires an enormous amount of time, material resources, people, as well as an investment of emotional and spiritual focus.  Partnerships between La Red and PCJH, among other churches and ministries, allow us to continue the work we have been called to do.  The support we have received is not just financial, but also encouragement and prayer from the Missions Committee  at PCJH which continues to push us forward in our love toward others.

Thank you for your continued partnership and prayers for us here in El Salvador!  If you are interested in learning more about La Red, you can visit our website www.lared.sv. May God bless you and keep you in His grace.
