Rob Hoskins is the president of OneHope. His father, Bob, is the founder and handed the leadership of the ministry over to his son several years ago. Last week Rob went in for a medical procedure of some sort and ended up with a very bad staff and is fighting one of the worst strands of e-coli. He has had a high fever and will be in the hospital on antibiotics for 3 weeks to fight the infection. This week he and his family received even more serious news. The results of several tests done last week came in, and the doctors have told him that he has prostate cancer.
The cancer cannot be treated until the infection is completely treated, and Rob and his wife Kim and praying about what steps to take in fighting the cancer. Please pray for them. I’m sure is a very scary time for them as a family and they are in need of extra faith and strength in God.
This will also surely affect the ministry. Next week is the beginning of two weeks of the annual budget meetings at which OneHope workers will be gathering from around the globe to discuss next year’s ministry plan and determine what funds will be necessary to carry out our goals. This is a very important time of year for the ministry, and I’m sure it will be difficult not having Rob there during the process.
So please, keep Rob and Kim, their daughters, and the rest of his family in prayer. And please also pray for all of us OneHope as we are planning next year’s ministry and operations. And Jon and I could use prayer as this is our first time being a part of these meetings and we want to be prepared and do our job well, but we are still not entirely sure how the meetings work or what we will be expected to contribute. So, it’s a little intimidating. =)
Thank you all, we really appreciate your prayers for us, and we ask for you to please be praying for Rob and family.
We will be arriving back in Florida this Friday and will be there for the entire month of July. We are excited to be heading back to the States of a time, but wish we could be spending it back home in Cali. Since the internet will be faster and we’ll actually have it in our room, I will be posting pictures of the game farm we’re living on, and our room here, hoping to give you all a feel of what it’s like here.
We love you all and miss you very much!
Love,
