Irene Gonzalez

Associate Missionary (Central America focus)

Several years back, my wife and I were invited to take part in a Missionary trip.  We were hesitant and out of our comfort zone.  But we went because we felt God had a purpose for us because He had made this trip possible.  After experiencing and meeting all the wonderful people that God put in our path to minister with, we knew that this is what God's plan was for us.  We knew when it was the right time, God would move us out of the church and into the Mission Field. In April of 2018, I retired as a Pastor and in May of 2018 we had the honor and privilege to join Allow The Children.  We are excited and looking forward to serving our Savior in the Mission Field. May we serve faithfully with a heart filled with Gratitude!   Acts 1:8

Renato  Rene Gonzalez completed his life journey on this earth on 20 March 2022.   He was a busy, productive missionary with  Allow The  Children and his loss leaves us with a painful hole in our ministry.   Rene and Irene were booked to leave for Nicaragua on the day he passed. They were scheduled to go to the  Amazon in  April and  Burundi,  Africa in  May.  All of these were pastor training trips, which is so badly needed and longed for among our ministry areas.  He was also scheduled in a number of churches in the USA in between the international work.  What a blessing and a remarkable legacy to be busy in the work right up to the time when the Lord calls!  Please pray for  Irene and the family as they celebrate the life and mourn the loss of  Rene.   We at Allow are also celebrating the life and mourning the loss of our friend and missionary member of our ministry.

Irene is continuing her ministry with  Allow The  Children.   She is a gifted women’s teacher and is also managing our children’s sponsorship programs among the Spanish-speaking countries.
