In communities across Latin America and the Caribbean — from Venezuela to the Dominican Republic to Colombia — our teachers, staff, and students are navigating daily realities marked by economic hardship, community unrest, and personal grief. -A teacher praying for open hearts in the classroom -A student asking for healing for his mother with cancer -A school director facing unrest in their community This is the reality behind the mission. And this is where your prayers make all the difference. We invite you to print the requests below. Keep them in your Bible. Tape them to your fridge. Let them become part of your own walk with Christ — because we truly can’t do this without you.

Pray for the 1-Kilometer Vision - that is, relocating LIFE Church to a more accessible location within 1-Kilometer of the Oriente Station. We need a space and an owner that will work with our church and budget.

Please pray for opportunities and open doors to share our mission. We are in the home stretch to the final $1,500 in monthly commitments.

June 15-July 15 we are traveling back to the states for Abigail's graduation and for some fundraising related to our Tabernacle ministry here. Pray for safe and smooth travels. Pray for great connections and God's provision for the ministry here. Pray for special moments and memories made with Abigail.

Praise and Prayer: Both Matthew and Abigail have been given the opportunity to do ministry internships. MATTHEW will spend the month of July working with the staff at Warren 1st AG iN Ohio. This is the church that welcomed us and housed us during itineration. He is very excited for this chance to learn, serve and grow. ABIGAIL- She is also interning this fall from Sept-Nov in Kenya, Africa with Africa's Children and Teens. We are so excited that God has opened this door for her. She feels called to serve teens in Africa and this is a perfect opportunity for her to learn and serve and grow as well. Pray for her as she starts fundraising. She needs $3000 to cover all the expenses for the 3 months she will be living in Kenya. We trust that God will provide.

Please pray for our workers as they make regular visits to the villages up the river. Pray for wisdom and discernment as they search for people of peace, for open hearts to receive the truth of the Gospel, and for house churches to be planted in this remote place!

Pray for our English Fellowship and our local UPG team as we prepare for a year in the US and they continue the ministry until we return. We know it's in God's hands and we will continue to give leadership and oversight from afar.

Abigail: Her senior year is winding down and we would appreciate prayer that we celebrate her well in the midst of much happening. We pray that her moments and milestones are honored well because we don’t want this time to get lost in the busyiness of life and ministry. Pray for intentionality and for sweet memories as she makes to huge transition into adulthood. And pray for Abigail’s next steps, God has some huge things in the works, see the Praise and Prayer below!!!

Please pray for all the documentation to make Hope church a reality. We have had difficulty getting our background checks, and the application for charity status started.

We have officially transitioned from our church and are now full-time raising support. Please pray for favor with churches and individuals.

Wisdom as we prepare to move OLI's base of operations from FL to MO - many details to process, housing, car, timing, moving funds, funds, etc. The travels in the first 6 months of 2026 will likely mean we won't begin the transition until June. First trip in March to setup our office went really well.
