VELA Ministries

Today we are spending the day in unity with Pastors and leaders across Latin America praying for the unrest in Colombia and for the whole continent of Latin America.

We are deeply saddened by the loss of Luis Palau, but thankful for his life and ministry which had a huge impact on our personal lives, on all of Latin America and around the world. We will remember him as a man who walked with God and was passionate about sharing the Gospel. On his knees he prayed for the lost and every day he worked hard, he became a close friend and a mentor. Luis is now enjoying the very presence of His Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ! Thank you God for his life and ministry, a great example to follow!

On February 27 over 100 women from Mexico City and the Metropolitan Area met via Zoom. These women will be working in their local communities to contact churches and get other women involved in praying for Mexico. Please continue to join us in prayer, this month we are praying for the States of Campeche, Guanajuato and Sonora.

It has been exciting to see the prayer movement Women Praying for the Nation continuing to grow. The women who are a part of this group are truly passionate about lifting the National Plan of Evangelism up to God and placing it in his hands. Please join us in praying for this month's 3 States and key prayer requests.

We recognize that the key to our National Plan of Evangelism is prayer. We have developed a prayer movement called Women Praying for the Nation through which representatives of each State are working hard towards the goal of having 1 million women praying for Mexico. This year these women are focusing on praying for 3 States each month as we cover the whole nation in prayer. Would you join us in praying for January's request?

This morning we are joining thousands of Pastors and leaders from across Mexico to pray for the country. Would you join us in praying?

We would appreciate your prayers for one of our Partner Church Pastors, Dan Castro, who is being treated for COVID-19. Please pray that his health would be restored and that his family would continue to be healthy. Thank you!

Here is our most recent Prayer Letter:

TY Letter July 2020 Final.pdf

With heavy hearts but trusting in God's sovereign plans we say goodbye to our dear brother in Christ David Arellanes who went to be with the Lord yesterday. A true servant heart, he worked knowing he was not working for man but for his Savior. He will be missed deeply. Please pray for his family!

Please continue to pray for our Brother David Arrellanes in Mexico. Over the past few days the doctors had been having trouble controlling his blood sugar levels, they now have that under control, but David is no longer able to eat on his own so is being feed through a feeding tube. His breathing is very labored and they will most likely intubate him, but the doctor's are not sure that this will really help. Please also pray for David's family as they face this discouraging news, these days have been hard on them without being able to see David and only getting updates once per day.

URGENT PRAYER REQUEST: Please join us in praying for David one of our staff members in Mexico. He was taken to the hospital last night where he underwent the test for Covid-19 (no results yet). Pray for David’s recovery and for his family who is extremely concerned for him.
