Ross September 2010 Prayer Update

Please pray for safety in our flight operation in Oaxaca. This is rainy season and we deal with a lot of rain and clouds mixed with our mountains.

Pray for Mike as he travels to Idaho on the 9th to finish installing a new engine on one of our airplanes and then flies it back to Oaxaca. Pray that the paperwork would flow smoothly to reopen our airstrips that have been closed for over two months.

Ross August 2010 Prayer Letter

News from Oaxaca August 2010

Dear Friends,

July has slipped by and we are already looking at a busy August. Our airstrips are still closed to regular flights. Mike, Edgar and the community leaders all met with an official from Mexico City on July 16. The biggest result of this meeting was blanket permission for emergency flights and Mike has done several of those. The Mexican official is meeting with his superior to see what arrangements can be made to help us out. They have simplified many of the paper work requirements. Most of the communities are making good progress in getting the documentation ready. Please keep praying for this situation.

Ross July 2010 Prayer Letter

Dear Friends,

We have just returned from a delightful time with our kids and grandkids While we were in the U.S. Joan had a checkup with the urologist and received the wonderful news that she has no signs of kidney stones - no pieces left from the olds ones and no new ones forming.

Ross June 2010 Prayer Update

Praise for the opportunity to accompany Edgar Rivera to participate in baptizing four believers in Amoltepec. Praise for safety on the hour long trip from the church to the river and back again. Pray that those who where baptized would remain strong and firm in their faith as they are persecuted.

Please pray for the 70 men and women who will finish their first ESI study module. Pray that they would be encouraged in their Christian walk through the study of God's Word.

Ross May 2010 Update

Dear Friends,

April has whizzed by and May appears to be filling up quickly. It was great to finish up a major inspection on one of our airplanes that had been down for six weeks and have both airplanes flying for most of the month of April.

Ross May 2010 Prayer Requests

In early May we look forward to the visit of the MAF Regional Director for Latin America. Please pray that as we plan together for the future of the ministry in Oaxaca that we will find new ways to reach unbelieving people for Jesus Christ.

Ross April 2010 Update

Dear Friends,

Hooray! After six long weeks of work the major inspection on our airplane XB-GGU is finished and Mike flew it for the first time on April 2nd. We had three volunteers come from the US to help out giving us a total of five weeks of their time. A big thanks to Bill, Rick & Chad for digging in and doing a lot of work. We did find a few "surprises" like cracked main landing gear brackets which made the inspection go longer than we anticipated, but we do inspections to find surprises before they cause problems.

Ross April 2010 Prayer Requests

Here are a few prayer requests from Oaxaca:

Please pray for Mike as he travels to Florida April 11-17 to participate in MAF management meetings. Pray that what Mike learns may be used to improve the ministry in Oaxaca and reach unbelievers for Jesus Christ.

As you are aware January & February were quite challenging with Joan dealing with kidney stones. We were encouraged to see the way God provided for Joan's treatment during this time and we are both back in Oaxaca.

1. Praise God for his provision during Joan's struggle with kidney stones. She is painfree and feeling stronger every day.
