Autumn prayer letter

“Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name; worship the Lord in the splendor of holiness.” Psalm 29:2 Ramírez Family Serving the Lord in San Nicolas, Tequisquiapan, Queretaro, Mexico Autumn blessings to all of our faithful partners in ministry. God has been doing great things here in Mexico this fall. One major blessing from this fall is that our church has joined an organization of churches here in Mexico called “Lampei”. They are based in Morelia, Michoacán, Mexico. This group of churches is focused on planting churches, not just in Mexico but in the whole world. Our church is now “Lampei San Nicolas”. We are excited to see what God has in store for us with this change. You will read more about an event we did with them this October. You can learn more about them at, https://www.lampeiministries.org/ Women’s ministry: The past two months the women have enjoyed an evening of playing games and learning about first aid from Nidia, an RN that attends our church with her family. The women really enjoy these events and making memories together. Conferences: Twice this fall I had the opportunity to join the other Lampei pastors in attending conferences here in Mexico. This was something that I needed and was a huge blessing to my life. Discipleships: Our weekly discipleships are doing well and remaining faithful. My wife has had the joy of starting a new discipleship with a co-work of one of our church members. Mary is a mother of two small children, she has a hunger for learning more about Jesus and living for Christ. She has been faithful in studying the bible with Alicia and bringing her kids to kids’ club on Saturdays. We also had a young mother and her son come from Morelia to stay with us for a week. During this time my wife was able to share about Jesus with her. Please pray for her salvation. Kids’ club: The kids continue to meet every Saturday and learn about the books of the Bible. This week we will start preparing for the Christmas program. Youth group: It has been great to see youth from San Nicolas join our group even tho they are not consistent in attending. We pray for their consistency and growth in Christ. Farmer’s market: We have started back at being faithful in engaelizm at the farmer’s market every Sunday. It has been a blessing to see more people open up to allowing us share with them and visit them regularly. Day of the Dead Evangelism: At the end of October my family and I went to Morelia to help with a week long Evangelism event with the Lampei church there. A group of Americans from California came to help too. During the week the group of 20 visited schools, parks, town squares and farmer’s markets to share the gospel with people who were out celebrating the day of the dead. We shared with them the God of the living and the hope we have in him. Thursday there was an interactive theater show presented at the church called “The route of the soul.” After each presentation there was a time for counseling and sharing more of the Gospel with those that attended. More than 100 people heard the good news of Jesus Christ this week and many more evangelistic flyers were handed out. Praise the Lord for this time. Prayer requests: Spiritual growth and number of people at church in San Nicolas. That God would bless us with a team of people to help us reach more towns. For the Green Card of Jorge, to be able to visit all of you soon! The health and salvation of my parents, Carmen and Antonio. For our relationship with God. That Boaz and Ana will know Him as Savior too. For all the plans we have this year, that God will use each event to build His Kingdom. Our financial support. Praise the Lord that more support has come in. Pray that more will join in supporting us. We continue to pray for the car situation. The same problem happened again. We are praying for a solution to this issue. Thank you!! Blessings, Jorge, Alicia, Boaz and Ana jramirez@fim.org awhitmore@fim.org
