It appears our
two-month’s missionary journey is being cut in half. Via an MRI Ruth has had done
here in India this past Saturday, we learned she has a pretty large tumor behind
her right ear. She’s been referred by our ENT in Miami to a surgeon specialist
at the University of Miami. (He nor his colleagues are willing to touch it due
to its rarity, size and location.) She has an appointment with the specialist
in Miami for Feb 22nd. Please pray with us that Ruth will get the
best possible relief from this thing, in the mercy of our Lord and Savior, and
that we’d be able to resume a reasonably aggressive overseas ministry program
soon. So far, our time here in India has been excellent. I’m sorry it will be
cut short, and that our visit to Philippines would have to be postponed til
later in the year.
