Experiments of life

 "And the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved."

Acts 2:47 

Happy Spring! This past month we had several exciting events happen here in Tequisquiapan. 

To start off the fun we had a friends event at youth group. Everyone was asked to invite a friend. We planned special games and lesson for them. It was a good evening of fellowship. It was also encouraging to see the kids invite their friends and their peers that they are praying for.      

On Resurrection Sunday we were able to go to church in person again. Jorge lead the service with reading from the last days of Christ. I sang a special song, "Glorious day" by Casting Crowns. It was a great day celebrating our Savior's victory over death for our sins. 

Experiments of LIFE- our biggest event of the year was the kids' three day activity we did in San Nicolas. These three days we presented the Gospel to 47 kids. We were encouraged and surprised by God is so many ways. The first way was all the help and donations we got from our church family. Also two couples, two ladies and two youth came to help us every day.  Another way was the turn out and the excitement of the kids. We had 20 on the first day, we encouraged them to invite their friends and by the last day we had 47! The kids were not only excited about inviting friends but about memorizing scripture. We told them that there was a prize for anyone who could learn all three verses by the last day. The second day we gave them all the verses and to our surprise 6 kids came the next day with ALL the verses memorized!! Praise the Lord for their desire to learn and memorize His word. We made so many contacts in this week. We are encouraged and look forward to visiting all these families. We are planning another event for the kids on May 1st to celebrate Kids' day. 

Prayer requests: 
  • Continue to pray for Maribel, she has been very faithful in her bible study. Pray that she will allow the God's word to change her heart. 
  • Irma, a friend of Maribel who had started faithfully joining us at bible study. This week Jorge saw her more engaged and open with us and the lesson. Pray for her salvation. 
  • The visits we will make in the next few weeks. That God will open hearts and we will be able to start more bible studies with these new families. 
  • Youth group- that the kids will be brave and continue to share the gospel with their families and friends. 
  • Discipleship- that our current bible studies in Tequisquiapan will continue to grow in their faith. 
  • Jorge's visa- the interview is still set for September. Things are getting better and vaccinations have arrived in Mexico, so this should not change. 
  • Jorge's english- he takes classes almost daily. He still finds the language challenging. Pray for his learning 
  • Support- people who want to join our team and support what God is doing here in Mexico. Wisdom and creativity to share and meet with people in the US while we are in Mexico. 
Thank you for your prayers and support! God is good. 
Blessings,
Jorge and Alicia Ramírez
