At a recent meeting of the Board of Directors of Josiah White’s former CEO Dee Gibson and his wife Kathy were on campus to commemorate Lisle Gibson, a long-time contributor and friend of Josiah White's with a plaque in the chapel.

In other Josiah White’s news, please keep current CEO, Ron Evans, and his wife Jane in your prayers as Jane suffers from congestive heart failure. Please also pray for the Board as Jane’s health has pushed Ron’s retirement up. Pray that the Board will be led to the person God has been equipping to lead this wonderful ministry into the future.
