Pablo pastors Fountain of Living Water Church in San Quintin, Mexico.

Living Water Church is a small church on the Pacific coast in Baja California in Mexico.  Pablo started the church in 2001 with the vision to "Reach the Lost, Disciple the believers, Equip them for ministry and Send them where God has opened doors" (from Matthew 28:19-20). 

Pablo is retiring this month (April 2025) and moving to Ensenada, Mexico (about 3 hour drive north of San Quintin).  Both he and his wife Lupita are finding, as they age, that the better medical care which is available in the larger town of Ensenada has become more essential in dealing with health issues like high blood pressure, diabetes, and other ailments.  Below is Pablo's final newsletter to Grace Bible Church in which he praises God for the numerous blessing and challenges that God brought to him over the past 24 years of serving the Lord Jesus Christ in San Quintin.  Pablo had moved from Tijuana to San Quintin about 25 years ago for the purpose of starting a small business - a store to sell goods to the community and earn a living to support his family.  Arriving there, he could find no church like the one in Tijuana where he had been serving.  He finally realized, after seeking guidance and input from his Tijuana pastor and others, that God wanted Pablo in God's business, not in the retail business, so Pablo began Fountain of Living Water Church, meeting with a few of the customers from his store who were interested.  And the church grew from there.

San Quintín B.C, March 18, 2025

Hello, my beloved brethren in Christ of Grace Bible Church.
I greet you in the wonderful name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, wishing you to be spiritually prosperous in your lives, family, and ministry. I am coming to close a cycle of my life in ministry here in the San Quentin Valley where for about 24 years I have served the Lord, as an elder of Living Water Spring Bible Church, God gave me the privilege of planting it on October 29, 2001, in obedience to the Great Commission of Matthew 20:28-29
They were years of many challenges, but it was a great satisfaction because I was always supported by the Holy Spirit, I had the support of my family, of the Grace Bible Church in Pleasant Hills, the Ebenezer Church in Tijuana.I had beautiful moments watching men and women repent of their sins and be converted to Christ, and I saw them serve the Lord with great enthusiasm. I had the privilege of baptizing new believers, discipling and training them for ministry (Col 1:28_29), introducing children or dedicating children, and also joining brothers in marriage, after they had fulfilled what is required by the law of our country, celebrating communion with the Church every first Sunday of the month, celebrating the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ.
I also had the opportunity to celebrate the departure of brothers and sisters going home to be with our Lord Jesus Christ.
One of the memories that marked my life was the departure of my mother to be with our Lord Jesus Christ on October 19, 2010 and the departure of my wife on January 30, 2011. It was a very strong impact to me, but I thank my God who strengthened me and I was able to move forward with the ministry, I did not have the time to live continuing in mourning but I moved forward with the help of the Holy Spirit.
I also lived moments of joy with the Church, beautiful moments where I attended conferences in the United States, but also moments when brothers and sisters got sick, we visited them, we prayed and cried together, problems in marriages, where I took care of counseling.
I thank my God for the life and feelings of each one of you in that you were always praying for me and my family, for the Church, and that you always supported us financially for our expenses.
For the missions team, for the elders of the Grace Bible Church, for our Brother Tony Sanelli, for many other brothers in the Lord, I also want to mention for our brother Keith Telle who has always been aware of the development of this Church.
My wife and our daughter Mariella along with our grandson are already in Ensenada, it was necessary for them to move sooner so that my wife could attend the hospital for her medical consultations, I am still here in San Quintín painting the pastoral house inside and out to deliver it. My last Sunday here in San Quentin will be April 27th of this year.
Projects: My desire is to continue preaching and teaching the Word of our Lord and at this moment I am praying because my desire is also to visit my daughters and grandchildren in Oaxaca in the month of May since I have not been able to be with them for many years because I am focused on ministry.
I ask for your prayers that God will help me and give me wisdom and strength since I have not felt well in health, blood pressure has affected me and diabetes, and that God in His Mercy will continue to provide for me in this last stage of my life here on earth.
Your brother in Christ:
Pablo Ramirez Reyes
