The youth pastor of the Encuentro Biblico Church (Alliance) in Valencia, Jose Pacheco, was killed in an August 8 auto accident. His wife, Maylin, and their two-year-old son died at the scene. Jose died early August 9. The couple was in their 30s.
Jose and Maylin were students of the Alliance Bible Institute, and Jose also served as treasurer of the Encuentro Biblico Church. “They served with love and integrity and will be sorely missed by the young people of the congregation,” says Alliance missionary Rebecca Rodriguez. “Pray for the Venezuelan Alliance church and in particular the youth of the Encuentro Biblico Church. Also, be in prayer for the families of Jose and Maylin, as many do not know Christ as their Savior.”
