Doris Palma de Urcia, a pastor in Peru, passed away 19 August 2022.

Doris, originally from Santa Rosa, served the Lord together with her husband, Santos Urcia, since the mid-1980s. Their first years of ministry were in Tumbes; then they pastored in the Urrunaga church until 2001, when Santos Urcia passed away.

Since 2001, Doris has continued to serve in pastoral ministry as co-pastor in the Urrunaga church. She has been a tireless evangelist, both in outdoor services, in the church, and at a personal level. Doris preached and led conferences on hundreds of occasions, in many churches, retreats, and women's meetings.

She has been a selfless mother, raising and educating her three daughters, Anita, Cinthya and Zeida, who are following the teachings and inspiration of her parents. The South America Region prays that God embraces and comforts them.
