In July 2012, Cristo Salva had the opportunity to plant a church in Las Pilas, a little mountain village above Las Varas. We had been visiting the people in the village for quite a few years. There wasn't a church in this village. The Lord opened the doors for a local Pastor and his family to begin holding church services there. We were able to purchase a piece of land and construct a temporary structure to meet at. This little church family began to grow. Eventually, the Pastor was not able to continue ministering there so we had a couple of interim Pastors fill in.

In January 2015, the Lord opened the doors for a partnership between Earl and Carol Kline's home church, Iglesia El Sinai, a Spanish Church in Portland, Maine and Cristo Salva to establish a permanent church in Las Pilas. Iglesia El Sinai has 3 churches in El Salvador and 1 in Guatemala. They have a missions director and missions coordinator who will be responsible for overseeing the administration of this church. The new Pastor/Missionary is Atelo from Guatemala. He is establishing the church and overseeing the construction of the new building, which should be completed by July 2015. He is discipling Manuel and Norma from the village so that Manuel can take over as Pastor within the next year to two years.

Cristo Salva has committed to providing monthly support for the Pastor and with constructing the new building on the land that we already own. Iglesias El Sinai will provide the Pastor and the administration for this congregation.

Please pray for the harvest as Pastor Telo ministers in this village. We are believing that 100% of the people will become believers.
