On October 9th, 2024, our Associate Regional Minister, Director for Hispanic Ministries, Rev. Dr. Francisco Ramos passed from this life into his eternal rest. Over the past few weeks, his life has been remembered and celebrated throughout his hometown of Utuado, Puerto Rico, and West Covina, CA.
On November 1, 2024, congregations across our Pacific Southwest Region joined Casa de Refugio Christian Church to celebrate his life. Among the many wonderful things remembered about his love for family, church, ministry, leadership, service, friendship, and collegiality. Highlighted was the excitement for his recent graduation as a Doctor of Ministry, and the dream for his wife and children to advance their own educational aspiration.
During that event, on behalf of our regional leadership, I invited our congregations and leaders to support this dream with a donation to the Rev. Dr. Francisco Ramos education fund (temporary) between now, and December 31, 2024. The total amount raised will be matched (up to 10 thousand dollars). These funds are for the support of his family in their pursuits of advanced education. I would like to thank Rev. Dr. Mandye Yates, and First Christian Church, Fullerton for its lead gift of one thousand dollars in his memory and support of this endeavor.
Please donate through this secure link.
Thank you in advance for your generosity.
Blessings,
Richie
