Ragsdale/Ehrman on Mission

The just completed EC National Conference highlighted missions as John Ragsdale completed his task as Director of Global Ministries . His wife, Shirley, turned a candid phrase or two in giving a colorful account of life together "in the field". Missionaries were on hand to attest to his vision and fortitude as he mentored and assisted.
Jim Ehrman and Aiyana and family are ready to transition for this new episode and challenge together as they prepare to serve as DGM. Part of the initial serve will be to observe and understand. Then, comes the focus as prayers are always accepted in knowing God's lead.
The guest speakers (Phil Tuttle, Clive Calver) also spoke to the mission. These are times to "kick it up a notch". There is no blame to be cast elsewhere should we not follow through. There are opportunities that need to be recognized as the Holy Spirit guides. The mission field may not be getting easier. The mission field is everywhere.
