Please pray for our missionaries to Santa Monica, Mexico Raechael & Patricio Garduño who sent the following updates and prayer requests:

• Please pray this next year would be a time for the church to focus on the Lord and find His direction for our two locations. We are still seeing many new believers and many new faces on Sundays and in our discipleship groups, pray the Lord would continue to bring people to Himself through our small part of the body.

• We had a very difficult loss in our church family (and our personal family). One of our pastors, who is the father-in-law to our main pastor, passed away very suddenly last Sunday. Pastor Raúl is taking some time off and in the meantime my husband and pastor Benjamin will be leading the two churches. Pray for consolation for our church and family in this time.

• We have had many cases of COVID in our church, thankfully it has not been complicated cases, but we have many ushers and teachers that can’t attend and especially on Sundays we’ve had little help. Pray for the situation and that more people would join the service teams.

• For families in the church, we have had many couples coming to us because of issues in their marriage. Pray God would heal and protect those that are suffering right now.  

• Keep praying for the church plant we've been supporting, the found a new location for their shelter, and very quickly!

• Please keep praying for Katy, Isabel and Samuel, for their health.

• Please keep praying for my mom, that she would know the Lord more and have a hunger for Him. 

• We also have some news, we are expecting! Thank God, everything is going well so far. Pray this pregnancy would continue to be healthy!With this news, we have a need to move to a bigger house soon. Please pray God would guide us to the right place He wants us to be in.

• Keep praying for the salvation of my brothers and sisters. Their names are Veronica, Max, Violet, Charles, Samantha and Elisa. That God would open their eyes to their need for a savior, and He would keep healing them.
