I first met Ralph 11 years ago on my first mission trip to Belize. We enjoyed worshipping the Lord, serving the people of Belize through our labors and sharing the love of Christ. I have fond memories of a variety of times we worked on the compound. Ralph, you will be missed my brother, and I can only say that you have set an example of selfless service for God that those of us left behind hope to follow. Continued prayers for Miss Penny and the Digman family, and I look forward to our reunion in heaven some day soon!
