Our dear friend, Edurne Mencia, unexpectedly passed away on August 1st from a sudden heart attack. She leaves behind three young children and a loving husband.

Edurne was more than just an amazing friend, she was a modern-day hero not only to me, but to many women around the world who had the privilege of calling her their friend, mentor, or leader. Edurne was a woman focus on a critical mission, to do her part in helping spread God’s Word around the world. A mission that led her many times into the jungles of Venezuela by boat with her husband to share translated Bible studies with the women, men and children living there. Edurne loved the work she and her family were doing in Venezuela and the people they were helping.

Edurne didn’t have to go into the jungles. She didn’t have to sacrifice so much. Venezuela was not her native country, but her husband’s. She had been raised in Spain. But following God’s call on her life, she and her husband moved to Venezuela after college, and she made it her home. There she taught Sunday school in her local church, helped in her children’s school and generously gave what she could to help others in her community have food on their tables for their children.

Edurne not only influenced the lives of those in her community, she also influenced women’s lives around the world through her work with Love God Greatly, an online women’s Bible study ministry where she worked as the director of their international branches as well the LGG Spanish branch, Ama a Dios Grandemente. The impact of Edurne’s life will be felt for generations to come. She inspired hundreds of thousands of women all around the world, helping them love God greatly in their own languages.

Whether serving locally or online, Edurne’s life was marked by her love for God.

Please keep Edurne’s family in your prayers and donate what you can to help support her family in this time of need. May we rise up and help her family like she has helped so many families around the world!

Romans 8:38-39
For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Psalm 34:18
The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.

Mi querida amiga, Edurne Mencía, falleció inesperadamente el 1 de agosto. Ella dejo a sus hijos muy pequeños y a un esposo amoroso. Edurne fue más que una amiga increíble, ella era una heroína moderna, no solo para mí, pero para muchas mujeres alrededor del mundo que la llamaban amiga, mentora o líder. Edurne era una mujer que se concentraba en las misiones, y hacia su parte para difundir la Palabra de Dios alrededor del mundo. Una misión que los llevaba por bote muchas veces para llevar los estudios Bíblicos y las traducciones Bíblicas a la mujeres, hombres y niños por la selva de Venezuela.

Edurne amaba el trabajo que ellos hacían en Venezuela. Edurne no tenía por qué hacer algo así. Ella era de origen español. Ella no tenía por que sacrificar tanto. Venezuela no era su país de origen, era el de su esposo, ellos se mudaron allí cuando terminaron el colegio bíblico y ella hizo su hogar allí.

Allí ella ensenaba en la escuela dominical de su iglesia local, colaboraba en la escuela de sus niños y de manera generosa daba lo que podía para que los de su comunidad pudiesen proporcionar alimentos a los niños.

Edurne no solo fue de influencia para las personas de su comunidad, ella también impacto la vida de muchas mujeres alrededor del mundo con su trabajo en Ama a Dios Grandemente/Love God Greatly, un ministerio en línea en el que ella era la directora de las ramas internacionales, así como la de habla hispana, Ama a Dios Grandemente.

El impacto de la vida de Edurne trascenderá por muchas generaciones. Ella inspiro a miles de mujeres alrededor del mundo, ayudándoles a amar a Dios grandemente de una manera personal y en sus idiomas nativos. Fuera sirviendo de manera local o en plataforma en línea, la vida de Edurne fue determinada por su amor a Dios.

Por favor ten a la familia de Edurne en tus oraciones y dona lo que puedas para ayudar a su familia en estos momentos de necesidad. ¡Así que es hora de levantarnos y ayudar a su familia como ella lo hizo con muchas familias alrededor del mundo!

Romanos8:38-39  por lo cual estoy seguro de que ni la muerte, ni la vida, ni ángeles, ni principados, ni potestades, ni lo presente, ni lo por venir, ni lo alto, ni lo profundo, ni ninguna otra cosa creada nos podrá separar del amor de Dios, que es en Cristo Jesús Señor nuestro.

Salmo 34:18 Cercano está Jehová a los quebrantados de corazón;
Y salva a los contritos de espíritu.
