Rev. Raquel Rodriguez passed away on February 2, 2024. She and her husband, Dr. Carmelo Alvarez Santos, served as mission co-workers with Global Ministries in Latin America for decades. Rev. Rodriguez was born on May 11, 1949, in Rio Piedras, Puerto Rico. She studied at the University of Puerto Rico and Seminario Biblico Latinoamericano, earning degrees in History, Education, and Theology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Starting in August of 1987, the couple served as mission co-workers with the Departamento Ecum\u00e9nico de Investigaciones (DEI) in San Jos\u00e9, Costa Rica. Raquel worked specifically with women groups in protestant churches within DEI\u2019s \u201cSpecific Struggles\u201d program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After they retired as mission co-workers, they continued to serve in Latin America in volunteer roles. Rev. Rodriguez also served as the Program Associate in the Latin America and the Caribbean office for Global Ministries. She later served as the Executive for Latin American and the Caribbean for the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America based in Chicago.
