It’s official now; I just booked my travel reservations for the Pilgrimage for Spiritual Renewal to Korea for October 16 – 25th, 2014. I am looking forward to traveling with our Bishop, Young Jin Cho and the other clergy participants from the Virginia Conference.
Thanks to everyone for their generous support enabling me to be a part of this spiritual experience. I look forward to what I will learn from the Lord and from our sisters and brothers in Korea.
Please keep my ministry in your prayers as we finish the work this week necessary for recording Hymned in by Grace this fall. If you would like to support that work, share your donations with Norman directly or send it c/o Norman Ramsey Ministries, 2501 Caliber Drive, Henrico, VA 23231 or give through PayPal to reverendnorm@msn.com. Thank you so much.
A big “Thank you” goes out to those who have already contributed to supporting Norman and the mission opportunity of accompanying our Bishop Young Jin Cho on a Pilgrimage for Spiritual Renewal to Korea this October 16 – 25. The only expense of the trip is airfare which if purchased before July 8th is $1300. (After that, $1400). Today, Norman is halfway towards reaching that immediate goal.
Also, thank you to those who are supporting the ministry opportunity of recording again this November. Norman is headed to Tate Music Group in Mustang Oklahoma to record the first Hymned in by Grace project. The cost of travel and expenses is $700. We still have the majority of that to raise. If you would like to make a contribution you may do so directly to Norman (preferably before July 8th), or send your support c/o Norman Ramsey Ministries, 2501 Caliber Drive, Henrico, VA 23231 or go online to donate at https://www.paypal.com/us/home. Click on the SEND tab and type in reverendnorm@msn.com, enter the amount of your donation, and designate it as a gift for family and friends. You can also support these mission and ministry opportunities by ordering any of the books or music Norman Ramsey Ministries provides.
Thank you very much for your support. All donations received above $2,000 will go towards the Laurel Hill Medical Mission to Honduras 2015 and the Norman Ramsey Ministries’ Teaching Mission to Sierra Leone 2015.
The Kean University was great last night in concert! It was such a moving and encouraging time. The voices were beautiful, the young men and women were so gracious and delightful; we were truly blessed. Please pray for them as they continue their tour performing this afternoon and tomorrow in Myrtle Beach, SC, Roanoke Rapids, NC on Monday, and then heading back to New Jersey.
It was our wonderful privilege to host them and have them with us. Special thanks to Bill Balz for coordinating their visit and for the Men’s group for their breakfast, and to the many who brought food and helped with getting things organized and cleaned up. We have a wonderful Church here at Laurel Hill UMC and the Lord uses all of us to make it so.

Karen and I wish to thank everyone for their cards, visits, food, and other support as we have walked through this week of grief with the loss of Karen’s father, Keith Tune Nash. Please keep our whole family in your prayers and thank you Laurel Hill United Methodist Church for being a place of genuine love and grace.
Last winter I got to enjoy a wonderful time of Bible Study with some of the folks here at Laurel Hill. Well, that time together has become a new book called More than Breathing: Pursuing Life in the Power of the Spirit. I received the “proof” copy of the book today and am giving it the final review before I say, “Yes!” to it being available for you. We’re counting down the days but you don’t have to wait. You can order your copy in advance. Email me or call me and I’ll put a signed copy of the book in your hands as soon as it’s ready! If I’ll see you at church this Sunday, just let me know you want a copy.
In More than Breathing, we follow the pathway of grace to reveal the way God transforms our lives by the power of the Holy Spirit. Step by gracious step, More than Breathing describes how God wants to give you a life of joy that is appropriate, prayerful, backed up by God’s Spirit, and always at peace.
Do you need a way to think through and tackle the challenges of your life? Then discover a life that is More than Breathing. Do you need to change your way of doing things? Learn how to approach life as a new creation in Christ. Learn how to walk as a person of faith. Find out how Father Abraham can become your training partner in finding your second wind. Let the Apostle Paul mentor you in the way of love. Evaluate your progress in being led by the Spirit as you take the Love Test.
Discover the ancient paths of grace for yourself and share with others a life that is More than Breathing!
Jonathan Dow, Executive Director of Aldersgate Renewal says, “Thank you for sharing this resource. I appreciate the practicality of the book, the freedom to self-evaluate, and the invitation to grow in intimacy with God in the freedom of grace.”
