Held in His Hands: Preparing for What’s Ahead

What 2026 holds for my life feels truly incredible. I may not see the full picture yet, but as I enter the final week of the first month of the year, I’ve already begun to see how the Lord is bringing clarity; clarity in dates, purpose, and direction for what is coming. Step by step, He is unfolding His plan, and my heart is filled with gratitude and awe.
As many of you know, I am a full-time missionary. This means I live by faith, fundraising for my needs, and serving in different ministries as a volunteer, without receiving a salary. And honestly, it is absolutely amazing to see how the Lord continues to work in my life, reminding me every single day that I am held securely in His hands. Because of this, I want to ask you to please pray for me; pray for the work I do, and pray that the Lord would continue to use my life and help me remain obedient to His call.
This year, I will continue serving with Give to Give, Antigua House of Prayer (AHOP), and Worship Room. It amazes me how the Lord keeps drawing me deeper into His presence and giving me the privilege of leading others toward Him. Over the past months, I’ve felt Him gently preparing my heart for a new season, shaping me, stretching me, and readying me for what lies ahead.
I will also continue walking in discipleship and leadership through house visits, the women’s discipleship program, and our monthly pastors’ meetings. Alongside this, we will keep serving at the orphanage, investing time with the children in their daily activities. We will continue leading people to set apart time to be alone with the Lord at Prayer Mountain, seeking Him in prayer and intimacy. It is so beautiful to see how everything we do in Give to Give reflects God’s heart for His people.
Leading AHOP alongside such incredible people is a gift, but what I treasure most is the family the Lord has built there, a family that grows together, walks together, supports one another, and challenges each other to fully step into God’s calling. It brings me great joy to see more Guatemalans coming and growing in intercession, with a deeper desire to agree with God’s Word and His purposes in this season.
Serving at Worship Room on Thursday nights continues to be such a blessing. To see what the Lord started almost ten years ago still moving forward fills my heart with gratitude. It remains a place marked by a longing for unity in the Church, a space where people worship as one, grow together, and lift up not a denomination, not a name, but His Name alone.
As I look ahead to the rest of this year, I am also preparing for an upcoming trip to the Middle East. This journey has been in my heart and prayers for some time, and I truly believe the Lord is opening the door for me to go and serve there. In the coming months, I’ll be sharing more details about the nations I’ll be visiting, the dates, and the purpose of this trip. I humbly ask that you would keep this journey in prayer, that the Lord would lead every step, prepare the way, and use this time for His glory and for the strengthening of His Church.
I also want to invite you to partner with me in a very practical way. As a full-time missionary, I rely on monthly support to continue serving faithfully in everything the Lord has entrusted to me. At this moment, I am at 45% of my monthly support goal, and I am trusting the Lord to provide the remaining 55% through His people. If you feel led to support me financially, whether through a one-time gift or by becoming a monthly partner, you would be directly investing in the work God is doing through my life and the ministries I serve.

More than anything, thank you for praying, for walking with me, and for being part of this journey of obedience, faith, and trust in the Lord. I truly could not do this without you.
