About Us - Quiénes Somos This Mission work was originally started in 1981 by my brother, Manuel Ramirez. He oversaw it until his death in July 1995. Brother Manuel would take up to 3-4 weeks vacation to travel to Honduras to do personal work with different congregations there and hold campaign meetings. He was sponsored by our congregation, Fresno Spanish Church of Christ. Fresno Spanish Church of Christ merged with the Arlington Heights Church of Christ, who then overlooked the work. Our brother Manuel Ramirez brought many souls to Christ with his dedicated work of fourteen years in this wonderful Work. His service also consisted of many benevolent cases of helping out Brethren in need.In the summer of 1994, my brother Manuel was diagnosed with stomach cancer, this news came just as he returned from Honduras. Bro. Manuel asked me to take over the Mission Work before his death.In the summer of 1995, he accompanied me to Honduras, and introduced me to the Work there, all the while being very ill with the disease. He passed away two weeks upon our return from Honduras on July 15, 1995. -David T. Ramirez, Sr.About
