A message of solidarity with the Lutheran Synod of El Salvador after the passing of Bishop Medardo Gomez

Please join Global Ministries in prayer with the Lutheran Synod of El Salvador.

 Dear Bishop Cortéz:

We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Bishop Medardo Gomez. His death is a profound loss not only to his immediate family and friends but also to the wider community that he served with such dedication and compassion.

Bishop Gomez was a beacon of hope and resilience amid violence and incredible challenges. With his Theology of Life and unwavering commitment to justice, peace, and human rights, he touched countless lives and became a symbol of faith and courage. His work transcended the boundaries of the church, reaching into the heart of the community and fostering a spirit of unity and reconciliation.

At Global Ministries we celebrate his legacy of profound love and tireless advocacy for the marginalized and oppressed. Bishop Gomez’s life was a testament to the power of faith in action, and his impact will be felt for generations to come. His teachings and the example he set continue to inspire us all to strive for a better world.

At this time of mourning, our thoughts and prayers are with you and all those who were close to Bishop Gomez. May you find comfort in the many cherished memories and the enduring legacy he leaves behind. We hope that you can find solace in the knowledge that his spirit will continue to guide and inspire those who had the honor of knowing him.

With deepest sympathy,
