Shepherds has schedule a Skype session this morning. We are looking forward to that and hope the electronics all function so it can happen. Those who read our web pages know that this week is full of meetings for the church representatives and field men. We always looked forward to those. This year Margie was not up to making the trip so we cancelled our plane reservation. We called our son last night on his birthday and Margie is working the best she can to have a meal for him and his family this Saturday. In fact Margie may enlist the help of our granddaughter Monique to help decorate the Christmas tree. We'll update you on this as things happen.
Margie's health is improving slowly. We know it's a long journey and appreciate so much your love, prayers and understanding throughout this year.
About the Poulsons
- Ralph and Margie
- The Poulsons served with ABWE in Brazil for 25 years. Their son Rawlie was born in Sao Paulo, Brazil and their daughter Joy in Iquitos, Peru. Joy was born developmentally disabled and eventually they returned to the States to find help for her. God providentially led them to Shepherds Baptist Ministries, Inc. where she has been a resident for 43 years. The Poulsons returned to Northeast Brazil to the town of Natal and Ralph was Director of the Berean Seminary for a few years. Because of health concerns, they returned to their home town of Ferndale, WA in December of 1980 and later their home church, First Baptist, called Ralph to pastor the church. After 18 years at First Baptist, at age 68, Ralph resigned and he and Margie prayed for the Lord to lead them to their next ministry. Shepherds Baptist Ministries, Inc., asked them to consider being a western representative in 8 states. For 10 years we represented Shepherds in the 8 western states, including Alaska. What a privilege it has been and we continue now at home doing various projects for Shepherds so that I can care for Margie as she recovers.
