The Ross Family

Dear Friends,

We safely arrived in Cleveland on Saturday, Dec. 4th and are busy getting adjusted to the U.S. and lots of snow. Thank you so much for your prayers during this time of transition.

We are happy to report that most of our airstrips have been reopened and Mike did lots of flights before we left. Please pray for Juan Carlos as he flies and manages the program all by himself. We would also appreciate your prayers for Bruce DeVries and his family as they finish up raising support and travel to Oaxaca.

Parkside missionaries Mike and Joan Ross are here on furlough from Mexico, where Mike flies a plane with Mission Aviation Fellowship.

Join them in the Fellowship Hall on January 16 at 11:15 am to greet them and hear what God is doing through their ministry.

Please pray for Joan and Mike as they travel to Cleveland in early December to start a furlough. Pray that they would have special time with family and opportunities to renew relationships with friends. Pray for continued safety in our flight operations in Oaxaca and especially for Juan Carlos as he will be the only pilot for the next couple of months.

Praise that we now have permission to fly into seven out of nine of our airstrips.

Pray for the men and women involved with ESI in Oaxaca as they finish their second semester of study this month. Pray that they will have opportunities to apply what they have learned in their local churches. Pray that their marriages will be strengthened through the study of God's Word.

Thanks!

Mike & Joan
