Edelmira Rodriguez, pastor of the Church of the Nazarene in El Progreso, Panama, passed away January 5 after a surgery.

She leaves a legacy of inspiration as a leader and trainer of leaders, starting at home with her daughters, and including the many spiritual sons and daughters who serve as faithful men and women from their households and in different ministries in Panama.

Prayer is requested for the members of her congregation and family, especially her daughters, Sol Milagros, Judy, and Marisol Rosa Saenz, who is the wife of Church of the Nazarene Mesoamerica Regional Director Carlos Saenz.
