We hope you are doing well and experiencing God's faithfulness in this season.
For many years, our family has been praying and seeking the Lord regarding a potential long-term move to the Middle East and Europe, specifically to North Macedonia. Throughout the years, this desire has remained in our hearts, and this year we sense the Lord bringing this invitation before us again with unusual clarity.
After much prayer, we believe the Lord is asking us to take a step of faith.

In the coming months, we will be leaving Guatemala, our home, and moving to North Macedonia. We are selling most of our belongings and stepping into this journey with open hands, trusting the Lord to lead us.
Our prayer is that He will open the doors He desires to open, including visas and permits that would allow us to remain in the country long-term. At the same time, we remain surrendered to His leadership, knowing that He may redirect our steps if He chooses.
If you feel led to partner with us financially, we would be incredibly grateful. Your support helps cover transportation, housing, food, ministry expenses, and the many practical needs involved in this journey and outreach.

Historically and biblically, this region holds a unique place in God's story. The ancient region of Macedonia appears in the book of Acts, where the Apostle Paul received the famous "Macedonian Call" in a vision, hearing the plea, "Come over to Macedonia and help us" (Acts 16:9). That invitation led to the spread of the Gospel into Europe and marked a pivotal moment in the history of the Church.
Today, we believe the Lord continues to have a purpose for this region. For years, we have carried a burden to establish and strengthen houses of prayer, encourage local believers, and serve ministries throughout the Balkans. We sense that the Lord is inviting us to invest our lives in this strategic area, serving both the local Church and the ongoing work of the Gospel.
This year, God has also opened the door for us to return with a larger team than ever before. Approximately twenty believers from Guatemala, Costa Rica, the United States, and Bulgaria will be joining us. Together, we will serve as a mobile House of Prayer while partnering with local ministries during an evangelistic outreach.
As these ministries proclaim the Gospel in the streets and public spaces, our team's primary role will be to lead worship and intercession before, during, and after each event. We are excited to see believers from different nations unite in prayer, worship, and evangelism as we seek to serve what God is doing in North Macedonia.
We would deeply appreciate your prayers during this important season. Please pray:
• For wisdom and discernment as we take each step forward.
• For favor regarding visas, residency permits, and future opportunities.
• For our family as we transition from Guatemala.
• For unity, protection, and spiritual strength for the entire team.
• For open hearts and lasting fruit from the evangelistic outreaches.
• For God's will to be accomplished, whether through opened doors or closed ones.
More than anything, we ask for your prayers. This is one of the biggest steps of faith our family has ever taken, and we are moving forward trusting that God is faithful to guide us. We are grateful for each one of you who has prayed, encouraged, and supported us throughout the years. We could not do this alone.
Thank you for standing with us.
With love and gratitude,
Menendez Family
