Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
Our God is moving powerfully across the world, even in the midst of chaos. As Christians, we cannot miss this opportunity to proclaim that Jesus is both Savior and Lord!

We are writing to express our heartfelt gratitude for your unwavering support of our ministry. Truly, without a team with you, we would not be able to serve the Lord as we do. As the Bible reminds us, we are one body, united in spreading the Gospel together. Your prayers, encouragement, and financial contributions are invaluable. These acts of support are like cords that strengthen our hands as we venture into the world to rescue the lost. May God richly reward both you as a church and you personally.

Over the past months, we have been blessed to serve children and adolescents in primary and secondary schools, offering them support lessons. We have also been teaching Spanish to immigrant women who mostly speak Arabic. Additionally, we are preparing for weekly Bible study in our home, helping people to grow in their understanding of God’s Word.

We have also reinitiated prayer walking and evangelism in Palmilla, a neighborhood of Malaga Capital. “This community is characterized by persistent conflict, social challenges, and widespread violence”.

We continue our ministry in discipleship in North Africa. Next week, we will travel to Beja, Portugal, to join a team that is evangelizing among both immigrants and the Portuguese people. During this time, we aim to encourage the local church to embrace God’s will and transform into a community of local missionaries.

Prayer Requests:
• Palmilla’s neighborhood: We are seeking for someone who can open their home for a small group and also a space to establish an association that we can help vulnerable people, sharing the Gospel through various activities.
• Malaga: Please pray for Paula, a 20-year-old Spanish woman who has recently accepted Jesus and is eager to grow in her faith. Pray also for her family (mother, stepfather, and sister), as she shares the Gospel with them. Paula is excited to volunteer and partner with us in spreading the Gospel.
• North Africa: Pray for Jadija, a Christian woman seeking to strengthen her faith. Also, pray for Melika, Aisha, and their families, that they may come to understand the Gospel and surrender their lives to Jesus.
• Beja, Portugal: Please pray that God will use us and our entire team as we share the Gospel on April 12th and 13th.
• Missionaries’ Lives:
• Marci’s family is still grieving the loss of her beloved sister last October. Additionally, her niece Camila, 33, is facing a serious medical issue with her uterus and is preparing for her fifth surgery in less than ten years.
• Maria’s brother, who is struggling with addiction to alcohol and drugs, and for the difficulties her family is facing regarding an inheritance from their father. Maria is also dealing with a hearing condition that has caused her to lose 60% of her hearing.
• Lastly, pray for Marci and Maria’s finances, as they are being impacted by the global economic situation and the devaluation of the Brazilian currency.

May God bless you with His infinite mercy and love.
