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 intermittently for several decades. They lack the resources to recover quickly from natural disasters. Crime is a serious problem in El Salvador. For these reasons, there is a Salvadorian diaspora in six countries. Most of these are either in Europe or North America.

Salvadorians in Canada came mainly in the last 50 years. Canada usually admits political refugees and those fleeing violence.


What Are Their Lives Like?

Salvadorians who have been in Canada for a generation have adapted well. Most job holders send some of their pay to needy family members in El Salvador. They blend in with other Latin American immigrants.

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 include 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 Canada.


What Are Their Needs?

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


Prayer Items

Pray for the Holy Spirit to do a powerful work in Salvadorian families and churches in Canada.
Pray for their communities to be blessed as they put their faith and hope in the Lord.
Pray for Salvadorians to disciple the least reached people in Canada.
