BULLETIN

RAY’S REMARKS:

Hello brethren. I hope you all are doing well. We really miss everyone and

our families, but Brent and I are doing well and are having a very profitable

trip. We actually leave Ghana tomorrow to return to the U.S., but we won’t be

back to Missouri until Friday night. Please keep up in your prayers as we are

traveling that we will have a safe journey. Lord Willing, I look forward to being

back with you all this coming Sunday.

We have had busy time while in Ghana. We have been teaching classes,

preaching, and working with the school in a variety of ways. We have also

taught every Saturday all day to the Saturday School Students. As I said, we

have had a great trip, but we are ready to come home and recover a bit and

get a little rest. Of course, when we get back we have lots going on in

Springfield with the church and the BIM, but at least we will be back with you

all and be able to get back into the routine of everyday life. We are also ready

for some snow. I can’t believe that the week I am away we get a good snow,

and that temperatures are supposed to be back to the 50’s or more by

Saturday but that’s the way it goes. I have enjoyed the pictures and the

messages about all the weather and how things are going.

Tonight, we are back at the school right now and are about to have an African

Meal and then we are going to have a going away devotional period for Brent

and me. It is always such a blessing and encouragement to be with our

brethren here. God has certainly blessed us with a great Christian family here

in Ghana and they treat us very well and with such kindness while we are

here. We love them all and appreciate them so much. Please pray for our

good brethren here and the great work that is going on at the Missouri Institute

of Biblical Studies Ghana. I know that God will continue to do great things

here in Ghana for His Kingdom, and we are all blessed to share in it and to

be a part of it.

Finally, let me say that I hope you all have a great remainder of the day and

a good evening of worship and the study of God’s Word. I wish I could be with

you tonight, but Lord willing I will be soon. I love you all and ask again that

you remember us in your prayers as we travel over the next several days.

See you soon! God bless!
