Steps and challenges for the year 2026

1. January: Visa process for China During the month of January, I will be waiting for approval (or denial) of a student visa for China. This step is crucial, and I place it in the Lord's hands, trusting that His will is good and perfect. 2. Raising the budget One of the essential requirements for leaving Venezuela is to raise 100% of the budget. This is one of the biggest challenges and, at the same time, an opportunity to continue seeing God's faithfulness. I had the opportunity to meet with the mission agency to define the budget needed for this stage. The total amount is $1,980, and so far I have 45% of the total. I fully trust in God's faithfulness, knowing that He is the one who provides everything necessary to accomplish His work. I am praying that the Lord will put people in my path who have a heart for missionary work, who are generous, and who are willing to go with me through their financial contributions. Throughout this process, I have seen God's support time and time again, and I am certain that He who called me will continue to sustain me. I ask you to pray with me, that just as God raised up a widow to support the prophet Elijah, in the same way God will raise up people who desire to support and be part of this mission. 3. Process with Ignis Community Thank God, I am already a member of Pioneros Mexico, so the next step is to begin the formal application process to become a member of Ignis Community. Ignis Community: It is an NGO that brings a message of hope to the north through educational and medical projects, among others. I was training in South Korea with members of Ignis.
