July prayer letter

The Ramírez family Serving the Lord in San Nicolas, Tequisquiapan, Mexico “Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose trust is the Lord. He is like a tree planted by water, that sends out its roots by the stream, and does not fear when heat comes, for its leaves remain green, and is not anxious in the year of drought, for it does not cease to bear fruit.” Jeremiah 17:7-8 What a busy summer it has been. We have been so blessed to see God working here in Mexico. We are thankful to God that we have three Bible studies every week. The Morales and Silvestre families are studying Evangelism. With Maribel and her family we are studying the Gospel of John. The youth group girls continue to meet faithfully, we have changed their meetings to every other Saturday evening. Please pray that God will add members to this group. At Kids’ club we have been working our way through the Bible book by book. The kids have been working on learning the books of the Bible in order. We have few kids but they continue to invite their friends, we average about 5-8 kids each week. Please pray for these kids and their salvation. The ladies at church have enjoyed that last two meetings. In June Rosa taught how to weave a basket and in July my mother in law brought supplies to embroider tea towels. Each month my wife has more ladies attend, it is a great time for them to fellowship and be encouraged in the word. One Sunday this summer Israel Millan came and preached at church. He and his wife have a Christian school in Tequisquiapan. Israel use to help us with music classes. I have had the blessing to serve in two camps this summer. July 8-12 I served with Rosa, a member from our church, in the kitchen at young adult camp at Word of Life. We cooked for 600 people that week. July 22-27 a group of 12 from our church went to camp. Thank you all for praying and supporting us that week. It was a week of blessings. I had a great team of workers in the dish room. Everyday I gave a break out session about “Don’t get caught in the web!” Encouraging the youth to not spend so much time on the internet and challenging them to think about what they do, see and hear on the internet. Boaz had a great week in the kids’ camp area with new friends, crafts and puppets. Also this summer at church my wife and I presented Ana Jean to our church family and committed to be Godly parents and raise her to know and serve the Lord. This is a commitment we don’t take lightly and ask you to please pray for us as we seek to raise our children to love Christ. 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. They are having health issues and live in a different state, it is hard to be far away at times like this. Pray for us too in knowing how to best handle this situation. 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. Pray for our car. We fixed the car as we said in the last pray letter. But it has broken down again and it has not worked for a month now. This complicates things for our movement for ministry. August 6-10 we are having VBS. Pray for the kids and their families. Thank you! Blessings in Christ, Jorge, Alicia, Boaz and Ana jramirez@fim.org awhitmore@fim.org
