It is a pleasure to greet you once again.

Thanks to the Lord we all are fine. Eliazib and the kids are very well.

Since a few days ago my laptop doesn’t work, so I have some difficulties to check my email. Fortunately a cousin lent me his laptop, and I was able to teach a seminar last week about the skills needed by leaders. I really need a laptop. As you know, it works like a Bible for me.

I praise God because my right eye is working well, but in my left one I have some discomforts. Its volume is decreasing, but I have an inflammation. It is like a little ball into it. My doctor recommends extirpating it, and making a transplant. Linda said that Jim Jennings was going to ask my doctor in San Antonio about this.

In the congregation we all are very well. Our average of attendance is 80. Our youth group is increasing. Every Saturday a 25 youth group meet together to have different activities.

The church in New Hope also is encouraged. Every week some people go from Santo Domingo to there to have their worship service with them.

I continue giving classes and seminars to different groups in several congregations. In fact, next week I am going to Guatemala to preach in an evangelistic campaign.

My family and I really want to go to Baxter in December. We have saved some money, but it is not enough, because as you know, we are building our house. We need 680 dollars to get it.

The ages of my children are:

Daniel was 9 in August 13.

Rebecca was 5 on June 10.

Elisa is going to be 3 on December 21.

I am going to be 32 on November 10, and Eliazib was 32 on April 11.

I will send you some pictures of us as soon as be possible.

Thanks so much for being interested in my family and me. Thanks  for supporting our mission work. We always are praying for you all, too.

God bless you so much,

Daniel & family.

Dear Joe and brothers & sisters at Maple Hill:

It is glad to me to hear about you and your work in the Lord.

Eliazib and the kids are fine. I am having some difficulties with my left eye, but I am hopeful that it is not a serious problem.

Last month we started to build our own house and it encourages us to continue working hard for the Lord.

Thanks to God I am very busy. I am involved in many activities in this region of Chiapas.

Last weekend we had a youth meeting in our congregation. Our average of attendance on Sunday morning was about 150 people. Six more people were added to the Kingdom of God being baptized.

Last month I preached in two evangelistic campaigns. Thirty people were baptized and some more were restored.

Also, I have participated as speaker in two more youth meetings in different congregations and we had several conversions in each one.

Our congregation is increasing step by step, but our encouragement is tremendous. Santo Domingo is a small town, but I am involved with the Lord`s Work in many ways at different places.

Thank you so much for your support, brethren. It is very indispensable for us.

God bless you so much

Daniel

Dear family in Christ:
Greetings to each one of God’s people who belong to Christ Jesus. The brothers and sisters here with me send you their greetings.
Eliazib my wife, my children Daniel, Milady, Elisa & I are very well.
Here you have some picture of all of us.
 
Last month brought us a lot of blessings. On Sunday 3ed we had a special service with the new congregation in “New Hope”. We have a beautiful time with them. After worship we had lunch together.

On Saturday 16th and Sunday 17th our youth group participated in a regional meeting in Motozintla, Chiapas. I attended to the meeting as a speaker.
 
Three people were baptized. One of them was part of our group, so he is now a member of our congregation. This is our brother Ezequiel Ramirez.

A week later in Santo Domingo we have another baptism. This is our brother Moises Colmenares. He was baptized in a river close to Santo Domingo on Sunday 24th before the worship service.
 
We all in Santo Domingo are very happy for these two new members, because they are very young, but very encouraged to serve the Lord. May God bless them.
Some more activities we have had during last month are youth meetings and ladies meetings each Saturday afternoon. The last Saturday of each month we do not have this kind of meeting but we have a special service to thank to the Lord for all His blessings during the month. Also, I am giving some Bible classes, seminars, etc.
My eyes continue being one of my weaknesses, but I am very glad and feel very encouraged for having the privilege to serve in the Work of my Lord Jesus Christ. His kindness is all I need. His power is strongest when I am weak.
So if Christ keeps giving me his power, I have enough.
Thank you so much, brethren, for your support and prayers.
God bless you so much.
In Christ,
Daniel Ramirez

December 2009 Report

Beloved brethren in Christ:

I expect you all are very well and enjoying many blessings from our God.
I thank God for the privilege of sharing with you all our blessings.
My family and I are very happy because we have health and can serve in the Work of the Lord every day.
Eliazib continues doing an excellent job as wife and mother of our three children. Recently we were married for 9 years and we are increasingly very happy and in love with each other. Danielito, Milady and Elisa are the best gift that the Lord has given us as marriage. We do not tire of thank God that they are growing strong and healthy.
Our Congregation continues glorifying God every day. We always remember to thank God for you and ask that you may be full of blessing so you can continue to support many workers worldwide.
My work is going very well. Every day I have different activities with different groups of people. I am giving Evangelistic teachings, training to the newly baptized, training for leaders, youth meetings, seminars, etc.
We are currently preparing our schedule for the coming year. My team is two sisters involved in children’s Ministry and two that are working hard in the women’s Ministry. There are also two brothers who are serving in preaching and two in evangelism and visitation.
Next year we are planning several activities for evangelization and we want to invite people to get to know us and join us.
We also want to strengthen marriages and make them understand their family responsibilities.
Our group of young people is very lively to continue learning and sharing. Thank goodness we have more space for children and we hope that very soon we can install a kitchen in our building when we have special events.
Next Sunday we will celebrate the first anniversary of the congregation that meets in “New Hope”. There are now 8 brethren belonging to that place and we want to follow them support to continue increasing in number.
I would ask, brethren, pray for all our plans, hoping that the Lord continues giving us life and health and you will be able to support us like before. The economic situation is becoming more difficult, but we trust the Lord will help us.
Once again, brethren, thank you for taking care of our needs this year.
All my family wishes you a new year full of prosperity and many blessings from our Lord Jesus Christ.

Because He lives,

Daniel, Eliazib, Danielito, Milady & Elisa.

Since 2 years ago I am giving a Bible class about different subjects for a special brethren group at Cacahoatan Church of Christ. Also it works as a Bible school.
 

Also, let me mention that I still participate every two months in a seminar for preachers and leaders. Next week I will speak about Christian Stewardship.
Beside other leaders of this region I organize a youth meeting every two months. Also, I use to participate with lesson according to the established subject previously.

Beginning from next September we have put on schedule a new meetings plan in Santo Domingo.
The first Saturday at night we will have a couples meeting. Then, the second one we will have a males meeting. Subsequently we will have a ladies meeting and, finally we will have a youth meeting.
If a month has five Saturdays we will have a special meeting at night with the entire congregation.
Our goals for these meetings are foment love and team spirit among the members of each group giving them specifically bible advices for each group. Also we think to have some time to share some games and food.

Well brethren, as you can see, I am working hard in the Lord`s Work. It is a commission that I have to accomplish faithfully. My God is so good with his servants. You are a very important part in my work, so thanks a lot for all the support you have given us.
Thanks a lot for being interested in my family and work. The love of God and yours encourage my heart more and more.
For this reason we never become discouraged. Even though our physical being is gradually decaying, yet our spiritual being is renewed day after day. And this small and temporary trouble we suffer will bring us a tremendous and eternal glory, much greater than the trouble. 2 Corinthians 4.16-17.

In Christian love,
