This reference verse says that we should always pray and be joyful and give thanks to God.

I know that you have been supporting me since I started this long journey, you have been faithful not only by praying or contributing financially, but that like me you have believed that God has called me to this nation. So I ask you to continue accompanying me in this new stage that I must begin.

When I arrived at The Fourth River training centre I could see that those who had had NK experience had been sent by some missionary organisation including Pioneer.

If you remember in previous letters, specifically last year, I told you that I had started the process with Pioneer but in the end I did not continue the admission process because I had to do a training and my student visa did not allow me to leave Korea for more than 3 months, so I suspended the admission process.

Now, I have been officially informed that my visa here in Korea cannot be renewed, so the next step will be to continue with the admission process to become part of the Pioneer missionary organisation.

This month I contacted the organisation and am in the admission process. The headquarters of Pionero Latin America is in Mexico in the city of Chihuahua. So I have to do a training that starts on the 17th of July online, then travel in October for two weeks for the safety and security training, then continue the online training and next year it will be face-to-face training for 3 months. These dates are subject to change. In case the dates change we will be trying for another venue such as Brazil, Dominican Republic or if necessary we will try for pioneers in Asia. This will depend, but for now I have already started the process with Mexico. Join me in prayer that God will be guiding everything.

As a Venezuelan, one of the problems is to apply for a visa, since according to the report of the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) and the International Organization for Migration (IOM), 7.71 million Venezuelans left the country by August 2023, almost 8 million Venezuelans decided to leave the country due to political, social and economic problems. Therefore, this situation has led almost all Latin American countries to request visas for Venezuelans to enter their territories; Mexico does not escape from this request. The requirements for such a request are almost impossible to obtain.

The Mexican embassy says that if I have a US visa, I can enter Mexico without applying for a Mexican visa. This is the first option so I have already made the arrangements here in Korea, therefore, on July 2nd at 8am I have my interview appointment at the US embassy. Let's pray to God that if it is His will, He will open the doors to obtain this visa.

The second option is to return to Venezuela and apply for the visa from the Mexican embassy in Venezuela. Here the requirements are impossible, but there is an option to apply for the following visa: Visitor Tourist/Transit (multiple entries/stay for 10 years).

And the requirement is that I must be a frequent traveller: In case I apply for the visa by this option the only requirement they ask me is:

Copy of the corresponding pages of the valid passport containing three valid visas or entry stamps within one year, to countries that do not border the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela.

I have only one stamp so I must travel to two more countries before returning to Venezuela in order to be able to show my passport with entry stamps within one year to countries that do not border the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela. This may be possible. I would only ask brothers and sisters who may be somewhere in Asia to host me for only 1 or 2 days in order to be able to have the migration stamp.

Once I have completed my training with Pioneer, I will be able to join the work team in any of the bases in China or other Asian countries or directly in the NK if the doors are already open.

This is the picture I present to you. Please continue to support me in prayer. I will be informing you how the whole process is going.

This race is not an easy one, but I am sure that the One who began the work in me will finish it. You who have been with me from the beginning are witnesses of how God has sustained me and been faithful. So let us continue to witness together the wonders of God and give thanks at all times.
