Did you ever see a year go so fast? Here we are at the last day of 2011. At our home and among our many friends we are rejoicing and thanking the Lord for the wonderful way He opened a place for our daughter Joy.
Yesterday we were on the phone and via e-mail making more arrangements concerning her trip westward. Lord willing it will all happen on January 15. We will do some more background preparations today on this. Margie had a good night. We are praying that now she may improve even more because the uncertainty about Joys' placement has been solved. Thanks for praying. It means so much to us.
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.
