Description
Summary:The smallest and most densely populated country in Central America is home to several indigenous mega churches. It is hoped that by comparing two of these, their successes, and the growth of these churches in the Global South, we can better understand this trend. The Tabernaculo Bíblico Bautista “Amigos de Israel” is a movement with ties to the mission history of El Salvador, but a worship style influenced by Pentecostalism. Misión Cristiana Elim is a Pentecostal church which has used the concepts of the cell church movement to become one of the largest churches in the world.
