Bishop Medardo GÓmez

Medardo Gómez is the shepherd for the Lutheran church in El Salvador. He is the only Lutheran bishop the country has ever had, but he is much more. He is a true minister of the love of Jesus Christ to the poor and downtrodden in Salvadoran society. Through the horrors of the civil war in the country to the tremendous economic want and social violence in the decade since the peace accords, Bishop Gómez has boldly proclaimed that the Gospel message requires a Christian walk in solidarity with the poor.
