A Gospel Movement That Marked a Nation

Over the course of eight months, God orchestrated one of the most significant evangelistic movements in El Salvador’s history through a powerful collaboration between Palau’s Global Network of Evangelists (GNE) and Mike Silva International. What began as a calling responded to in faith grew into Festival por la Vida El Salvador 2026—a nation‑shaping move of God marked by prayer, unity, and supernatural preparation.

Together with thousands of local churches and leaders, the Church was equipped and activated not only to reach people with the gospel, but to sustain the harvest for years to come. Across the nation, lives were transformed in schools, communities, prisons, churches, and families. From some of the most well‑known correctional facilities—including Mariona and CECOT—to public schools and city streets, the message of Jesus brought hope where it was needed most.

More than 606,724 people were reached through coordinated evangelistic, social, and media efforts. Over 38,956 students across 90 schools received values and hope for their future, while practical compassion was demonstrated through clean water projects now serving 2,875 people in vulnerable communities. The gospel was preached and visibly lived out.

The movement culminated in the Festival por la Vida, where more than 90,000 people gathered—and another 15,000 were unable to enter. In that defining moment, 21,415 individuals made the decision to surrender their lives to Jesus Christ. We rejoice in what God has done and trust this collaborative work is only the beginning of a continuing story of grace and lasting transformation in El Salvador.
