Here from his wife Pam, is an update on Pastor Richard Ridgell’s battle with cancer. Click here for the earlier prayer request.
It has been a hard few months since I last updated you on Richard’s lung cancer ordeal. It has been an uphill battle for him. He has had to go on oxygen at home and is filing for long-term sick leave at his job. He will be cut to half salary but will continue his health and life insurance for six months. Richard is still taking medication for the cancer but will know more when he visits the doctor next week. I have been doing the sermons the last two weeks at church but he is hoping he can make it this week as he has a Christmas series ready to go. We will be glad when 2014 ends and we can start a new year. This one has been tough for us. But we know that God is the one in charge and we are trusting him for strength to get us through what he has planned for us. We thank everyone for their prayers and we continue to ask for them.

Dear Richard and Pam,
We may be weak but HE is strong! Our journey in this world has many twists and turns, but God is always with us. In this reality we can trust and live.
Our prayer for you…
“He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart”.
Psalm 91:4
