Ramon’s Story

Site created on February 17, 2024

While on a mission trip with FPC to Uganda to visit the water well ministry she and her husband Bob started, Ramon experienced a series of medical problems and is currently in the hospital in Kampala. She is accompanied by her husband Bob and Walter Thompson, FPC Outreach Pastor, and of course Ugandan friends. We will keep people updated through this site. Please pray for Ramon, Bob, Walter, and her medical team as they make decisions about her care.
