Matilde "Mati' Espinoza de Hernández
October 12, 1963 - May 14, 2026
On the morning of May 14, 2026, Mati went to be with the Lord and is in the arms of her Savior now. Just moments before she passed, Pastor Goyo sensed the Lord telling him to go and anoint her whole body. As he did, he prayed for her and said her face and hair shined brightly and she had a smile on her face. He left the room and after receiving a phone call from a friend, he went back in and noticed that she was no longer there.
Mati and Pastor Goyo were very quiet about any details, and at her request, no one new what was really going on. A little over three years ago, doctors diagnosed her with cancer and gave her only five months to live. We believe prayer helped her make it for three years!
During the past couple of months, her health began to go downhill quickly. After spending most of April in the hospital and returning for a few days in May, Pastor Goyo brought her home at her request and she passed just a few days later. The doctors said they could keep doing things, but when asked if those things would help, the answer was no. She was ready and everyone was at peace.
She leaves behind her husband, Pastor Goyo, four grown married boys Jesús, Ricardo, Julio, and Goyito. Also, four granddaughters and two grandsons.
Over 20 years ago, the Lord gave Mati a vision for children to have an opportunity to eat breakfast before they went to school. An obvious need for many children. This vision came alive in 2020 with the help of House of Hope Ministries and is now known as our "Cofradía Kitchen".
Mati was a polite blessing and fun to be with. She will be missed.
Thank you for your prayers for Pastor Goyo and the Hernández family. Pastor Goyo is doing well.
