Ray & Carol - September 2021
JONES, RAY & CAROL (Guelph, ON; Itinerant Preaching/Teaching Ministry) PRAISE: Really enjoyed being back at Wallenstein and so good to see some of my church family. My diary is full up to Christmas so it will be a while before I can get back again, however, I keep in touch by enjoying the Zoom prayer meeting with Paul Hoffman's group. We had a very enjoyable visit from Lilly on behalf of the Sunshine Committee - thank you so much! Praise that my sister's cancer in her back is now diagnosed as arthritis! She does still have cancer in two other places though. Praise too for weeks of youth and family camps at Guelph with no problems with Covid. PRAY: Carol continues to deal with various health problems which makes life very difficult for her at times. I am now 80 years old with a full speaking schedule and various other opportunities to serve the Lord. I really would appreciate prayer for health, strength, safety in travel and guidance from the Lord until He comes or calls.
