Rev. Samuel Flores of the Central Mexican Lutheran Church died September 3, 2014, at the age of 93.
Pastor Flores requested fellowship with the Association of Free Lutheran Congregations in 1977. The AFLC Annual Conference approved this fellowship as a new mission work in 1978. The Central Mexican Lutheran Church (CMLC) was formed in 1980.
The outreach in Mexico began in the city of Leon and was soon extended to Celaya in 1982 and Irapuato in 1983. The CMLC has been a big part of the work of AFLC World Missions in Mexico.
Rev. Flores pastored the church in Leon, and lead the CMLC, until his death.
