Spring update

The Ramírez family Serving the Lord in San Nicolas, Tequisquiapan, Mexico Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. Ephesians 6:11 In March a group of students from Word of Life came and did ministry with us over the weekend. It is always a huge blessings to have these extra hands to help us reach more people in San Nicolas. They helped us with a medical brigade, kids’ club, a special youth group meeting, evangelism at the farmer’s market and the Sunday night service. Holy week and the week after Easter are vacation days for the kids. We did a VBS for them during Holy week this year. We studied the Armor of God from Ephesians 6. Each day I taught about a piece of the armor and the kids made a piece as part of their craft. They also enjoyed singing a song about the armor of God. By the end of the week they had learned the majority of Ephesians 6 as well. Our church family spent a day together during Holy week at a hot water springs pool. Days like these really help church members get to know each other better and make memories. Kids’ club is going well. The kids are faithful and few. We are currently learning about the main people in the Old Testament. Please pray for these kids and their families. The youth group girls have been busy the last few months. The second week of Easter vacation 4 young girls from church spent a week at Word of Life to see what the school is like. They all enjoyed the week there and one is seriously thinking about attending when she graduates from High school. Each month the church in Tequisquiapan invites our girls to a special all girls event. The month of April was a picnic theme and painting event. A missionary from Word of Life shared her testimony and the Bible study was about waiting for a Godly husband. The girls really enjoy these events and connecting with other Christians their age. Women’s ministry has been going well. There have been several visitors and have a group from church that is constant. The crafts they have done are key chains, painting and molding clay. They look forward to this Saturday every month. I have been preaching an over view of the Bible going through book by book. This week will be 2nd Samuel. I also have enjoyed inviting friends to help with preaching. The most recent was a missionary from Word of Life, David Hidalgo. 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 His 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. This week our larger car broke down. Pray that it will be fixed soon. It makes the weekend harder for us to only have one car. Thank you! Blessings, Jorge, Alicia, Boaz and Ana jramirez@fim.org awhitmore@fim.org
