We Must Fight For Our Children

We Must Fight For Our Children

We are more than conquerors   Rom 8:37

I write to you young men, because you have overcome the wicked one.  I John 2:13

Have faith in God. Whoever says to this mountain, 'be removed and be cast into the sea' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. Mark 11:22-24

If you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'move from here to there' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.  Matthew 17:20

The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.  John 10:10

Be sober, be vigilant, because your adversary the devils walks about like a roaring lion, seeking who he may devour. Resist him    I Peter 5:8-9

I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy and nothing shall by any means hurt you.  Luke 10:19


All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.  Matthew 28:18

....you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you   Acts 1:8

Dancing On The Edge


DANCING ON THE EDGE

How many of you remember that scene in “It’s a Wonderful Life” where Jimmy Stewart and Donna Reed are dancing at a high school prom?  A jealous friend flips the switch to open the gym floor covering the swimming pool underneath. They just keep dancing along unaware they are about to fall with a big splash.  Funny thing is that after everyone gets a big laugh, they start jumping in while Jimmy and Donna keep dancing!

LeRoy and I returned to the US in April of 2010 to celebrate our 25 years in missions and to figure out where to live and how to continue our work in Asia. After 20 months we finally leased a home in Spokane Valley, WA very near Tim, Marianne, Kaitlyn, Kyra and Micah.

Now we are based in the US and travel back and forth between here and Asia. We’ve returned 3 times so far for a total of 6 months.  Another trip is planned for the spring of 2013.

Not long after we returned, a person unknown to us told us that we were ‘on the precipice’.  Our interpretation was that we were at a point in our lives where God was about to do something big and/or different. 

Since nothing earth-shaking has happened, I am assuming that we are still ‘dancing on the edge’.  We continue to be involved with our former students, international students, Deaf ministry, hospitality, mentoring, writing and relief work. 

So we continue to dance and wait to see if we fall or jump off the edge!

Back Cover 

As Hubie made his way deliberately down the rows of butter beans and squash, he turned to look back at the house, then looked toward where John Thomas continued his slow walk across the hayfield; still hatless, still with his head down, still with his shoulders drooping; then Hubie looked back to the house.

“It was not meant for such,” he remarked out loud.  “This house was not built for such a time as this.”

His few words explained much about the house and about those who lived in and around it.


LeRoy Ramsey has also written Backing In The Front Door and co-authored Baby In A Box with his wife, Jane. In addition, he has written Will You Go?, a booklet about missions and available to churches and fellowships interested in promoting mission outreaches.

He was born in Palestine and left Paris to move his family to China. 
A career in journalism led him to such exotic places like Commerce, Fort Hood, Sulphur Springs, Arlington, Gatesville and Paris. (All in Texas)
In 1985 LeRoy and Jane picked up their family (the children were 15, 9 and 5) and moved to Wuhan, Hubei in the People’s Republic of China. That was just the beginning of a Great God Adventure with the Chinese people. They have spent almost three decades working in China. They have now added two granddaughters, one grandson and one son-in-law to the clan.
