Dear Commanders,  

We are very grateful for the leadership which has been to given the Royal Ranger ministry beginning in 1992 by Commander Paul Patterson.  We honor Commander Paul for his dedication and the countless sacrifices which he has made to this ministry.  

Concerning the upcoming days we will be meeting with various leadership personnel as we will begin the search for a new District Commander. Please be praying for those who will be involved in this process. We will keep you informed along the way of what is taking place as we are going through this process. I am asking that all Royal Ranger Leadership on all levels continue to plan and prepare for the upcoming events. When a new District Commander is named then he will be giving you further direction on leadership positions.  

Most of all please be in prayer for Commander Paul Patterson and Denise as they step into the next ministry God has for them. We love these special people and we know God will continue to use them in great ways.  

Paul will be presented with a love offering by the North Texas District Commanders.  if you wish to contribute to this fund please send your donations to the North Texas District offices with a note that the donation is for Commander Paul.  Please do this as quickly as possible as we would like to present the love offering to him by January 31st.

If you have any questions concerning the events and plans of the Royal Ranger ministry or have anything you would like to share feel free to call me at the District office at 817-284-4856 or e-mail me at dswanson@northtexas.org.  

In His Service,
