Evangelical Friends churches of Latin America number approximately 500 organized congregations, and about 500 additional worship groups. We exist in Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Cuba, Bolivia and Peru.

There are other Spanish-speaking Friends churches in the United States and Canada.

Among our purposes are to cultivate Friends identity and unity, to obey the Great Commission of the Lord Jesus which includes evangelism, cross-cultural missions, leadership development, Christian fellowship, and the teaching of biblical doctrine.

December 8-13, 1999 we celebrated the First Latin American Friends Pastors’ Conference in Chiquimula, Guatemala, with the participation of 300 persons. A second such conference is scheduled for Bolivia in the year 2002.
