The first Salvadoran Christadelphians were baptized by CBMA workers in 1974. The country now has three ecclesias which function well under local leadership. The CBMA provides advice and oversight, gives financial support for outreach and pastoral expenses and helps fund the annual year-end Bible school. This has proven to be a great success with well over 100 participants, a third of them teenagers; every year there is a good number of visitors to the school from other Latin American countries, particularly Guatemala, Mexico, Costa Rica and Ecuador, in addition to those from the US and Canada.

The Salvadoran brethren and sisters handle their own advertising, postal-course work and follow-up, and duplicate most of the literature they use. In the course of 2009 three new members were baptized, one in the main San Salvador Ecclesia and two in the satellite ecclesia in Usulután. At mid-year Bro. Ed Binch, an old El Salvador hand, visited the brethren and sisters and encouraged them with his talks, classes and pastoral support.
