“Know therefore that the LORD your God is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love him and keep His commandments, to a thousand generations.” Deuteronomy 7:9 San Nicolas to Iowa Late summer early fall Alicia and Boaz traveled to Iowa and I stayed in San Nicolas. We were blessed with this trip by a relative of Alicia’s. While we were apart God worked both here and there. This school year we asked for two students from Word of Life Bible Institute to come and do ministry with us. Evelyn and Daniel are here serving with us every Friday thru Sunday. It has been a huge blessing to have them. Youth group: In September we started a “Club Biblico” in San Nicolas. There are about 3-5 regular attenders. What a joy to see this ministry start in San Nicolas. We have had the desire to start a youth ministry for awhile. It wasn’t until now that God made it possible and opened this door. We are so grateful to be able to reach the youth now. Please join us in praying for the youth of San Nicolas. Kids’ Club: Maribel continues to invite kids from town and many have started coming. There is now a group of about 10-12 every Saturday. We have started Christmas program practice with the kids. My father in law will be the director of the program while they are here. Sunday school: Every week we have more kids coming on Sundays. Some just come for the class, they even come without parents. God has blessed us with more teachers for this ministry, this is a huge help for my wife. Sunday church: The Lord is working and in only a few months our new meeting space and chairs are almost full every Sunday. Those that come are regulars, each week there are new visitors too. Praise the Lord! Mexican party: September 16 is Independence day here in Mexico. The church in San Nicolas hosted a party to celebrate. We sang songs, played games, ate pozole and I shared the Gospel. Many new people came and several that don’t know Jesus as their savior. Evangelism: On Sunday mornings in San Nicolas there is a farmer’s market. A few times a month we have started attending and sharing the gospel and handing out tracks. This has helped the church to be known in the town and share hope with the lost. Updates to the building: In the month of September I was busying painting and doing small improvements to the meeting space. A few youth girls painted John 14:6 on the wall, a lady from church sewed curtains to replace the newspaper that was coving the windows and I cleaned and painted the classroom and a room for guests to stay. Women’s ministry: In September chef Sarai taught the ladies how to make salsa. Then in October Alicia and Evelyn taught the ladies how to make three kids of salads: apple, potato and egg. After the class one of the ladies shared her testimony. Several ladies joined us. It is a wonderful time of fellowship. Discipleship: During the week my wife and I have several discipleships. It is exciting to see each one grow and understand the gospel. Visiting: The Lord has opened doors for us to begin visiting other towns; Mexico Lindo, La Trinidad and Fuentezuelas. In La Trinidad we visit an elderly couple once a week to read the Bible and pray with them. Pastors’ School: In October we were blessed to attend Word of Life’s pastors’ school in Huatulco, Oaxaca, Mexico. It was a wonderful week of teaching, fellowship and relaxing. Alicia and Boaz’s trip to Idaho and Iowa: Thank you to all who were able to visit with my wife and son, those who hosted them and took great care of them. They had a great trip and we saw God work in each detail. Prayer Requests and Praises 1.The church in San Nicolas to grow and establish. 2. Opportunities in San Nicolas to share the Gospel. More families to visit and help. 3. Visits in new towns and the salvation of the people we visit. 4. Our spiritual needs and relationship with Christ. 5. Jorge’s Green Card. A quick reply about the appointment. 6. Our financial support. Praise that we were able to raise support with the visit in Iowa/Idaho. Pray we can reach 100% soon. Thank you! God is doing great things here in Mexico. You are all a part of this ministry. Blessings, Jorge, Alicia and Boaz Ramírez jramirez@fim.org awhitmore@fim.org
