THE RAMIREZ REPORT 12/2007

Dear brethren,

We give thanks to the Lord that you are our mission partners, supporters and friends.
We pray and hope that upon receiving this letter you would be experiencing the Lord's blessings.

We would like to share with you some items on which the Lord has blessed His ministry through us down here in Cajamarca.

1. The Seminary's work


Our Biblical Reformed Seminary (BRS) has 12 students this year, 8 are from our denomination and 4 from other denominations (Pentecostals).
Last week we had Bill Bradford come to Cajamarca to teach Greek I.

For this particular subject we had 24 students, our regular seminary students and 12 more from the local university who are interested in learning Greek. We are glad that our BRS is able to give this public testimony of service to other students. The course will continue until the end of December with Alonzo Ramírez as the instructor.

2. Theological conference in Amazonas


Part of our seminary and mission works is to train pastor and leaders formally and informally. During 13-15th of November Alonzo went 16 hours away from Cajamarca to the Amazon Presbytery to teach on: The Holy Spirit, The Sabbath Day, and Biblical Leadership.
The gathering was made up of leaders, deacons, Sunday school teachers, thirty people altogether. During the nights preaching and baptisms were scheduled. Seven people were baptized and added to the Church “El Progreso,” which has hosted the conference.



3. Our grown up son


We give thanks to the Lord for Sammy´s 17th birthday on September 26th. He is now a grown man and will finish his high school at the end of December this year. He intends to study computer engineering in Lima. So he will soon leave home for college. Please pray for him.

4. Prayer requests

• Please pray that the Lord would continue to bless his ministry here.
