• We are very thankful for successful surgery in Cleveland for Joan. Pray for complete healing and a safe trip back to Oaxaca on November 4th.
• Pray for Chuck and Susan as they visit Oaxaca this month that God would confirm His call in their lives to serve with MAF in Mexico.
• Pray that our Monday evening Bible study and prayer time would encourage new believers in their walk with the Lord.
• Pray for continued safety in our daily flight operations.

Joan Surgery Update

Thank you so much for your prayers for Joan's surgery. She is "home" and is beginning the recuperation process. In spite of a serious concern that surgery might affect one of her nerves and require rehab afterwards, we are happy to report that God is faithful and the nerve is tender but there was no damage done. We were able to face this situation knowing that God is the Great Physician and that you were praying with us.

We are hoping to return to Oaxaca on Nov. 4th.

Ross Family October 2013 Update

You know what they say about the "best laid plans . . ." We are experiencing this on our trip home and would appreciate your prayers that we would graciously accept God's alternate plans.

Originally Mike planned to return to Oaxaca on Oct. 7th and Joan would travel to Perrysburg to spend 3 weeks with her mom. However, Joan's routine exams at the Cleveland Clinic indicated that she needs surgery to remove a "mystery" mass in her abdomen. Surgery is scheduled for Oct. 18th at the Clinic which means MiKe will have to delay his departure and Joan probably will also be staying longer than scheduled.

Ross Family October 2013 Prayer Requests

• Please pray for Joan as she spends most of this month helping her mother get back on her won after having hip surgery.
• Pray for safety in the flying in Oaxaca as October brings lots of rain and low clouds in the mountains.

Ross Family August 2013 Update

Dear Friends,

We had a busy end to June hosting a thirteen member High School team. They did a great job encouraging the Christians in Amoltepec by helping to finish and paint the new church building in Mamey.

July brought resolution to a four month long paperwork snag to import our newest airplane. We now have the new Mexican registration (XB-NNK) assigned and should be able to finish up the final details in August to put in into service.

• Pray for quick Mexican visa renewals for both Mike and Joan.

Ross Family June 2013 Update

Dear Friends,

May was a good month here with lots of flying. We even managed to escape to the beach for a long weekend to celebrate Joan's birthday.

The group from our church that visited Amoltepec to give out shoes was very impacted by the needs they saw there. They are talking about making another trip in the near future.

Thank you for your prayers! We did have a busy but productive April.

Mike flew lots of safe flight hours. Mike flew a small group from our church here in Oaxaca into Amoltepec this morning to give out 130 pairs of shoes and sandals to school children. They plan to share one on one as they have the opportunity, and participate in worship services in two different churches Pray that these small gifts given in love will reap a harvest.
