We live in a quiet village on the outskirts of Tamale, a city of approx. 360,000 people. Tamale is the hub city for northern Ghana where our northern-based missionaries come for their supplies. Islam strongly dominates the culture of this city.

Ross’ work consists of overseeing all the missionaries, in both northern and southern Ghana.
Pray that God will give him wisdom for the constant challenges and trials in the work. Pray also that he will not be bogged down under the everyday load, but that he’ll spend much time with the Lord to gain renewed vision and strength for the overall work. Overseeing the missionaries involves much travel on dangerous roads so please pray for continual safety. He also teaches in the local church they attend when he is not traveling. In several other outposts he is training local men to be godly leaders.

Cynthia fills the busy role of house mother for her family and the extended missionary “family” who stops in for a meal or overnight when the missionaries are out to Tamale. She helps home school their youngest two children. With cheery good-byes she sees her husband off on his frequent travels, and supports him with much prayer. Since their children are getting older, sometimes she accompanies him on his travels to visit the missionaries. She also mentors some of the local church sisters.

Pray that God will keep their love alive, as husband and wife, even in the pressures of constant ministry. Also pray that God will help them not to neglect their children in the busyness of mission life. But above all, pray that they’ll sit daily at the Lord’s feet and renew their love by gazing into His face! Pray that they can keep their children profitably occupied,
especially their sons who need to know working skills.

“We are humbled to realize that people, whom we have never met, are praying for us. Truly, ‘other men have labored, and (we) have entered into their labors.’ What a thrill to have a part in building God’s eternal kingdom!

Hallelujah!”
