Ramsey Discoveries
Ramsey DiscoveriesDear friends and partners:
With just over five weeks to go before we depart for Ghana, we are very focused and keeping busy....at times, I feel like I'm in 5th gear 10 hours a day! But it's exciting....and God is strengthening us to keep up with the load He is giving us..... thanks so much for your prayers!
Speaking of prayers, the ones we sent you last month are still current, but we have a few more to add:
George, who along with his wife Doris are leading one of our trips this year, recently was diagnosed with hepatitis C. This is a very serious disease, with a brutal treatment regime. He still wants to lead the trip....we're waiting to see what his doctors have to say. Please pray for his health and for the team as a whole.....if George can't go we would have to look for an alternative leader with very little time left in which to do that.
For Rhoda and her family as they grieve over the recent loss of their one year old daughter. (Rhoda is our DISCOVERY coordinator in Ghana)
This is kind of a crazy year for DISCOVERY. In the last week or so, we've had two participants cancel.....and two other people turn up who want to fill those gaps (which is really late in the game and something we don't usually do....) Plus there are a lot of unusual circumstances happening with our Ghana team this year (we'll tell you details in our next prayer letter) that require creative adjusting to. Creativity takes much time and energy.....and in addition to our trip preparations, we need to send a prayer letter out as well as wind up some administrative details and church ministry items before we go. So please keep up those prayers for our health, strength, wisdom and trust in God (holy optimism!)
Thanks so much for partnering with us!
