YOUTH OUTREACH

Fiesta Con Jesus

Fiesta Con Jesus is IXOYE largest evangelistic outreach for youth and families in El Salvador. Similar to Vacation Bible School with a Salvadorian flare, the event brings together local churches, children, youth, and families around worship. Bible teaching, fellowship, and Gospel-centered activities. The heart of Fiesta Con Jesus is simple; welcome children, share Christ, support local churches, and encourage the next generation to know and follow Jesus.

Fiesta Con Jesus 2026 Highlights

28 Churches United • 8,000+ Lives Reached • 5,929 Decisions for Christ


This August, IXOYE partnered with 28 churches across El Salvador for our annual Fiesta Con Jesus outreach. Our team visited 12 churches, while Sindy's team served in at least 12 additional churches, sharing the Gospel with children, youth, families, and communities.

The days started early, often leaving before sunrise and traveling great distances to reach churches and villages. This year, our team even traveled through areas where we encountered two mountains we had never seen before, a reminder of how far God continues to expand this ministry's reach.

Using creative Bible lessons, puppets, music, and Gospel-centered teaching, our teams ministered to more than 8,000 children and adults. One of the most memorable lessons featured our men's team using puppets to teach the story of Samuel hearing God's call.


Lives Transformed


Through the faithful work of local churches, volunteers, and ministry leaders, we witnessed:

  • 3,892 children (up to age 10) accept Christ
  • 1,934 pre-teens (ages 10-15) accept Christ
  • 103 adults accept Christ


Total Decisions for Christ: 5,929


These numbers represent far more than statistics. They represent lives changed, families impacted, and communities strengthened through the saving message of Jesus Christ.

This is what Fiesta Con Jesus is all about: sharing the Gospel, reaching the next generation, and helping people begin a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

"And they were bringing children to Him so that He might touch them; but the disciples rebuked them. But when Jesus saw this, He was indignant and said to them, “Permit the children to come to Me; do not hinder them; for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. Truly I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child will not enter it at all."   ~  Mark 10:13-16

" Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God

through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gainned access by faith

into this grace in which we now stand. And we boast in the hope we now stand."   ~  Romans 5;1-2
