What do we do?

Bob and Angelique Kendrick began visiting Central America in 1982. The extreme poverty and spiritual needs
they saw broke their hearts. After several more trips to the region, they realized that the Lord was calling
them to full-time missionary service. In 1985, Bob resigned his position as pastor, and he, Angelique, Amy
(age 3), and Matt (age 1) moved to Costa Rica to enter language school to better prepare themselves for
work in the Spanish speaking world.

Upon completion of language school in 1986, the Kendricks began their new ministry in El Salvador, Central
America. For the first two years, they served in the First Baptist Church of Chinameca. Chinameca is a small,
rural town of 22,000 people, 120 kilometers east of San Salvador. During this time, Bob realized that there
was only a handfull of churches scattered within a 50-mile radius of Chinameca. The need to reach the lost in
this area and to plant new churches there burdened his heart. In 1987, the Kendricks founded the Baptist

Bible Institute of Chinameca to train pastors to start churches in this vastly unreached area. Soon, Institute
students were starting churches and sending their leaders back to the Institute to be trained as well. Through
outdoor crusades, door to door efforts with planted churches, and short term mission trips from supporting
churches entering elementary and high schools, El Salvador began being saturated with the gospel and God's
love.

In 2001, the Kendrick Ministries, with help from the Hope Foundation, were able to buy a radio station that
would offer Christian radio for their entire target area of Eastern El Salvador- home to over 2 million people.
In 2005, the Kendricks were able to expand their ministry westward to the capital of San Salvador
(population 2.2 million). They continue their work with the Bible Institute, church planting, and Radio
Esperanza.

Kendrick Ministries is a 501C-3 non-profit organization. The ministry maintains support services and
staff in Laurel, Mississippi. All financial contributions are handled by part-time staff and Kendrick Ministries
Board officers. Holt and Associates of Laurel, Mississippi oversee and prepare our annual reports for our

AGENDA

EL_SALVADOR_TODAY
El Salvador

El Salvador is the smallest and most densely populated country in Central America. It is only about the size of
Massachusetts, yet has around 7 million inhabitants. There are an estimated 3 million more expatriate
Salvadorans living in the U.S. and Canada. Most of this expatriates provide economic relief for their families
still living in El Salvador.

The country is bordered by Guatemala, Honduras, and the Pacific Ocean. It is a beautiful country filled with
mountains, volcanoes and beaches.

The capital San Salvador, boast a population of 2 million people, and is a modern, growing and dynamic city.
However, much of the country is still rural in nature and the economy in large part is still based on
agriculture.

While the majority of people in El Salvador are lost, without Christ, the Christian population is growing
rapidly. Although the current government is communist, there is liberty to share the gospel openly, even in
public schools. And, over the past decade or so, a great spiritual harvest has been reaped.

Paul said, "My prayer and hearts desire for Israel is that they be saved." Our prayer and hearts desire is that
EVERYBODY in El Salvador be saved, as well.

Our slogan/theme/ prayer here is "El Salvador sera para Cristo." In English, "El Salvador for Jesus."

Before He comes, may it be so!

Special Projects

Evangelism
The priority of our ministry and the passion of our heart are to share the gospel and see people saved.
Evangelism is in the spiritual DNA of all of our staff and is interwoven into who we are and into all that we
do.
Kendrick Ministries is involved in Evangelism through:
Radio Kendrick Ministries own and operates Radio Esperanza (Hope Radio).

Sharing the Gospel in Public Schools and Hospitals
Providing 1 million Gospel Tracts, annually and free of charge, to local Churches and Ministries

Ministerial Training

Kendrick Ministries currently underwrites and oversees two Bible Institutes. The first one was founded 21
years ago in the town of Chinameca. It is located 2 hours east of the capital. Its focus is to train pastors and
staff to start churches in Eastern El Salvador. Over the years, hundreds of students have graduated and now
serve through Eastern El Salvador.
The second Bible Institute began nearly 2 years ago in the city of Mejicanos. Its focus is to primarily train
pastors and staff to evangelize and plant new churches in and around the capital of San Salvador.
The two schools combined currently have 180 students.
The Angelique Kendrick School of Music: the purpose of the Music School is to teach students from local
churches music and instruments (guitars and keyboards). The school is located in Nueva Guadelupe which is
2 miles from Chinameca. The school has just opened and has 18 students.

Conferences: Kendrick Ministries sponsors a variety of pastors, mens, womens and youth conferences
during the year.

Pastoral Assistance

Bob and Angelique love pastors and their families. They spend many hours each week visiting in their homes,
loving on their children, counseling and trying to make sure that their needs are met both spiritually and
physically.
We are not their supervisors, we are their pastors. We are their confidants and friends. We love them and
are here to serve them. - Bob
Most rural pastors in El Salvador earn only $150 - $250 a month. A pastor starting a new church earns much
less. Kendrick Ministries budgets $25,000 annually to help assist these men of God as needs arise.
Each year your donations help to provide medical care, basic home supplies and limited supplemental
income to dozens of rural pastors serving in difficult situations.
Annual Clothes Drive: each year in November our friends in the U.S.A. donate and ship a container or
containers of clothes that help clothe around 150 pastors and their families for an entire year. [see gallery]
Pastors Emergency Fund: this year, this fund has helped by paying the funeral expense of a rural pastor,
dental work on a pastors child, food, etc. for pastors and families in need.

Planting New Churches

New Church Starts Church Planting

There are literally hundreds of small towns and villages throughout El Salvador where no Bible Believing
Church exist.
All of our Bible Institute students are required to start a new church before they graduate.
Kendrick Ministries works alongside, a local sponsoring Mother Church, to offer guidance, Bibles, teaching
resources, and in some cases, limited supplemental financial help to Institute graduates as they plant new
churches.
As the churches have grown and matured they have taken the lead in church planting, which is the right way
to do it.

Special Projects

Kendrick Ministries is involved in several ongoing projects and ministries:

Annual Pastors Clothes Drive

Salem Heights Baptist Church in Laurel, Mississippi, helps gather and store clothes and shoes of all sizes all
year. Then they help ship them here at the end of each October. Each year, hundreds of boxes of clothing is
given.
Each year about 150 200 families receive clothing that helps carry them through the year.

University Scholarships
Kendrick Ministries provides 18 full scholarships to pastors and other outstanding leaders to study at the
Evangelical University in San Salvador.
These men will serve or are serving in larger churches here in the capital, where this level of study better
prepares them to work with professionals. A full annual scholarship is $600. Please contact us if you desire to
sponsor a student.

New Baby Care Packages

Working primarily with rural churches near Chinameca, we help prepare baskets filled with supplies needed
for newborn care (baby blankets, diapers, bottles, babys first Bible, etc.)
These baskets open the door to visit in the homes of new, usually very young mothers, to encourage them
and share the gospel with them.

Annual Children Christmas Box Drive

Samaritans Purse left El Salvador around 5 years ago. Because of its positive impact and blessing, we have
continued asking our supporting churches to send Christmas boxes to us, so that we could continue to bless
children here, especially at Christmas time.
Salem Heights Church in Laurel helps receive, organize and ship these boxes to us. Boxes are received
throughout September and October and shipped here the first Monday of November each year.

Every year, thousands of boxes are sent here. This small box, filled with candy and toys is the only Christmas
gift these kids will receive.

that comes.

Here is some basic information concerning groups.

mission opportunities and dates.
