With heavy hearts, we share that Dr. Raquel M. Martinez has departed for her heavenly home on Sunday, April 12th, the beloved wife of Bishop Joel N. Martinez and a cherished member of our extended Lydia Patterson Institute family.

We give thanks to God for her life—for her love, her presence, and the legacy she leaves. Her life was a witness of faith, grace, and service.

Bishop Martinez is a proud alumnus of LPI, a valued member of our Board, and a faithful, steadfast supporter of our ministry. His life and leadership have been a blessing to our community, and during this time of deep loss, we hold him especially close in our prayers, along with their children and family.

As a community of faith, we trust in the promise of God’s grace and the hope of the resurrection, even in moments of profound sorrow. We lift Bishop Martinez and his family in prayer, asking that God’s peace, comfort, and strength surround them in the days ahead.

“Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.” – Matthew 5:4



With love and prayer,

Lydia Patterson Institute

As our seniors return today, we celebrate what God has done in their hearts this weekend. Praying His work continues to grow and shine through them. 💛 #FaithInAction

Our students created vision + prayer boards for the next 20 years of their lives ✨

Dreaming big, setting goals, and surrendering it all to God trusting that His plan is greater than anything they could imagine. This is more than just a vision… it’s faith in action.

Praying they continue to walk boldly, trusting Him every step of the way 🙏

Beyond lucky, our students are blessed. 💚🍀
