Dear Friends of Mike and Joan,

Please let me introduce myself. My name is Dan Whitehead and I currently live in Ecuador and where I work with MAF as the regional director of Latin America. AS the regional director, it is my privilege to work with the MAF personnel that serve in this part of the world that I have come to love.

It's a joy for me to write this letter of commendation for Mike and Joan as they prepare to spend some time in the U.S. For the next six months the Rosses will be on their normal furlough, giving them an opportunity to rest, recharge, renew, and reconnect with many of you.

Ross Family February 2015 News

Dear Friends,

Thank you for your prayers! January was a busy month ending with a Dental Team visit to a community in Amoltepec where Believers are not welcome. The whole trip went well with many patients being taken care of over the three day clinic. The leaders of the community were so appreciative that they provided food for the whole team and have invited Pastor Pedro to come back and share the Gospel with them.

February will be busy tying up various projects before we pack up to leave on furlough Feb. 28th. Pray for safety as Mike flies with Amos completing his final preparation so that he can fly into our mountain airstrips.

Dear Friends,

Thank you for your faithful prayers for our ministry in Mexico. We have seen three answers to prayer in the last month. We now have limited access to a hangar at the airport here in Oaxaca to do some maintenance on our airplanes. We have seen the paperwork on our third airplane take a small step forward.  Amos returned from the US with his commercial pilot license in hand and made his first MAF flight yesterday.
