The Raney family is proof to me that God will use whatever skill you learn sometime in your life to reveal more of Himself to you. In High School I took my first sign language class and then felt called to go to ETBU for college which was strange to me because I knew I was supposed to get a deaf education degree and wouldn't be able to pursue that option at ETBU. Well, The Wade Family is proof to me why I was supposed to go the ETBU. While attending ETBU I began a deaf ministry there, interpreting for chapel , teaching sign classes, and helping the deaf community in Shereveport. Seven years later, Ryan Wade came to ETBU because it was the only Christian school that had a deaf ministry. It still has the ministry. Marsha was his interpreter while at ETBU, they fell in love, were married and now have a beautiful family and live in Wylie. Marsha interprets for the 9:15 service while I interpret for a 4th grader named Morgan who I have known for 3 years now. God is good...For I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord, plans to prosper you, not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jer. 29:11
