Dear Community,
I am overwhelmed with emotion and gratitude as I sit down to share with you the incredible testimony that my beloved wife, Mervis Ruiz, bravely delivered to our “Golden Heart” senior citizen group at our church, “Intimacy with God,” yesterday.?TESTIMONY OF MERVIS RUIZ
Her story is one of unwavering faith, boundless love, and relentless determination that moved hearts and ignited spirits.?
As Mervis took the stage yesterday in our cherished gathering of the “Golden Heart” Church community, her presence exuded a radiant strength, a testament to the resilience that has carried her through the darkest of times.
With tears in her eyes and a tremble in her voice, she recounted the 1775 days of agony, uncertainty, and unwavering hope that she endured while I was held captive as an international hostage.?
Each of those 1775 days was a battle, a relentless struggle against despair and doubt. But Mervis never wavered in her faith, never faltered in her belief that one day, against all odds, we would be reunited.?
Her love for me, for our family, and her unshakable trust in God fueled her determination to do everything in her power to bring me back home.?
She shared with the congregation the countless sleepless nights spent in prayer, the endless phone calls made to authorities and diplomats, and the tireless efforts to keep my name and story alive in the hearts and minds of people around the world.?
Mervis poured her heart and soul into every moment of those 1775 days, fueled by a love that knows no bounds and a faith that knows no limits. And then, on the 1775th day, in a moment that can only be described as divine intervention, the miracle we had been praying for unfolded before our eyes.?
On October 1, 2022, God answered our prayers, and I was finally brought back home to Mervis’s loving embrace.?
The joy, the relief, the overwhelming gratitude that flooded our hearts in that moment is indescribable.?
Mervis’s unwavering faith and tireless perseverance had brought us to this miraculous moment, a testament to the power of love and the resilience of the human spirit. ?
As we reflect on Mervis’s testimony and the 1775 days that defined our journey, let us be reminded of the incredible strength that lies within each of us.
Let us draw inspiration from Mervis’s unwavering faith, her boundless love, and her relentless determination to overcome the greatest of obstacles.?
May her story serve as a beacon of hope to all who are facing adversity within our community, reminding us that even in our darkest moments, there is light on the horizon.?
Together, let us continue to build resilience, to hold onto hope, and to trust in the power of love to conquer all.?
With heartfelt gratitude and love,
Jose Pereira

About Jose Pereira
Jose Pereira, a former oil company executive with thirty-five years of experience and the former CEO of Citgo Petroleum, was unjustly detained and held captive in Venezuela as a member of the CITGO6, a group of six Americans employed by Citgo.
His wrongful captivity, based solely on his American nationality, lasted for 1,775 days, from November 21, 2017, to October 1, 2022.
Since returning from his five-year detention, Pereira has reconnected with his family and written his memoir. He stands up for Americans unlawfully detained overseas and strives to modify US laws concerning these crimes.
Pereira continues to leverage his experiences living and working in multiple countries to engender compassion in individuals of all ethnicity and across all cultural and political considerations to bring hostages home.
He empowers others to make positive changes in the world as he works to re-acclimate to society and is passionate about joining his voice with others intent on raising awareness.
BREAKING NEWS:
About the book: the book is actually in the editing and proofreading after reaching an agreement with United Book Publishing Inc (UBP) and will be out in the following weeks
"From Hero to Villain-The true Story of the CITGO6"
Pereira's book is scheduled to be out in end of March 2024
It is a riveting account of the events leading up to and during the imprisonment of the CITGO6. Notably,during most of his detainment, Pereira and his wife engaged in a death-defying act reminiscent of Anne Frank secreting her diary from the Nazis. They smuggled letters to each other, which boosted his morale to keep living another day and inspired this book upon release. These carefully written words served as a vital resource for Pereira in outlining his memoir. The determination and bravery embodied by him and his wife in preserving these letters under such punishing duress add a remarkable layer of depth to Pereira’s story.
When you read his accounts, you are there with him in the gritty cell, enduring the agony of fellow prisoners, then finally rejoicing when he hears the news he is going home.
Pereira’s story has since evolved into a movement: changing the narrative of what it takes to bring the wrongfully detained home. This is a work unlike any other. The advent of critical change is making a difference not only in the lives of prisoners; it is transforming global politics around these cases. Sometimes, it is the quietest voice that influences and alters our trajectory. Also in the works: a guidebook providing recommendations to returning detainees to enable their successful reintegration into society—the only publication of its kind.
