Please pray for our missionaries to Semilla de Mostaza Santa Monica, Mexico, Raechael & Patricio Garduno 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 will be opening new discipleship groups specifically geared towards the new believers in our congregation. Pray they would be fruitful and that new leaders would be raised up in our church, which is the one that most appears as a new mission because of the amount of new believers!

• Thank you for praying for Raul and Itzel and their family as they still process the loss of Cesar. Raul will be reintegrating into teaching and leading the church. Please keep praying for divine direction.

• We will be having our forest men’s retreat (in person!) for the first time in 3 years! Pray for all the guys who will be attending in June.

• Pray for the direction of the school, it seems my husband will be fully transitioned out as the principal within the next few months, and God is raising up a tan to replace him there. Pray for the new principal, Fernando, as well as the new teachers that are entering in. Also pray for my husband to grow in grace as a pastor and to have the wisdom he needs to serve the church. 

• 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. 

• Also pray for our friend Veronica’s health. She suffered from leukemia about 5 years ago and it returned and has been much more difficult with treatment this time around. She is a single mother of 2 young teenagers and doesn’t have much support outside of the church, pray for primarily health and grace from God to continue, as well as provision for all she needs.
