Caitlin and Jeancarlos Ramírez

About

Deaconess Caitlin Ramírez serves the Lord through The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod (LCMS) as a career missionary in Latin America. In this role, she serves as a teacher and mentor for the formation of women as deaconesses around Latin America through the seminary in the Dominican Republic. Caitlin is instrumental in teaching these women so that they may spread the Gospel through Christian education, spiritual care and acts of mercy — both within their congregations and the greater community.
Caitlin also works with the VDMA project. This project facilitates the Spanish translation and distribution of Lutheran resources to Spanish-speaking pastors and deaconesses of our LCMS mission churches and partner churches in this region. The Lord uses Caitlin to support Latin American pastors and deaconesses so that they may faithfully proclaim God’s Word and Christ’s mercy to the lost and broken-hearted in their own contexts.
Caitlin’s home is in Battle Creek, Mich. She received a bachelor’s degree in social work and sociology from Central Michigan University, Mount Pleasant. She also received a master’s degree with deaconess certification from Concordia Theological Seminary, Fort Wayne. Caitlin has served as an LCMS missionary since 2013.
Pray for Caitlin as she serves in the Dominican Republic and throughout Latin America. Pray that God would use her gifts and talents to help further His kingdom. Ask that the Lord would bless the deaconess students and guide mission efforts to point them always to Christ’s love and sacrifice for them. Let us give thanks for Caitlin’s service to God’s church in Latin America.
