i want to thank each of you
that have been praying for my brother Joshua
as he walks through his journey to wholeness
he is in the midst of the process to get him ready for transplant
this is certainly the toughest part of his journey so far
many of you have asked how you can help
of course we ask your prayers most of all
you can also send money to help cover
the extensive medical and living expenses
you can mail any contributions to us & we will get them to Joshua
John Ragsdale Ministries
PO Box 58462
Nashville, TN 37205
you can also click here to donate online


we also have a more specific need to share with you
due to how sick Joshua is right now
the doctors have told us that it is imperative that family is with him
this means us flying from nashville(BNA) to baltimore(BWI)
and back on a regular basis
this can be quite expensive
so we are asking for anyone that has
airline passes
or reward miles
to consider donating them
it will be such a blessing
any airline will work
but southwest airlines has several direct flights
which make the travel much easier on us
thank you for considering this
we pray GOD’s best blessings on you

Hello. I am a old aquaintence of Joshua and is sister. We met through Katie Dalton who was my ex girl and their song plugger at Universal. I would like to donate some money to help. Please call me and we will work out the details. I am not wealthy but can help a little. Joshua is one of the most sincere and nicest people I have ever met and the fact that he is having this trial shows me that I don’t understand our Maker as well as I should. I can also help in other way’s as well. Thank You. Bucky Baxter h) 615-254-1883 or cell) 615-594-8068
Hello John,
You were in Oklahoma City recently and led worship at the NW Campus of Lifechurch along with your friend Chuck Denny. Since that night, I have looked at worship in a whole new light; it was a very anointed experience for me. Anyway, you gave away copies of your new CD “The Sound” and IT IS SO EXCELLENT! I listen to it often on my commute to work in the morning. I drive East on I-40 and am often moved to tears during the third track:”God You’re Beautiful.” Some how, that song goes so well with the sun coming up in the eastern sky with all the different hues of purple, yellow and orange. I often tell God (referring to the eastern-morning sky) that no one can paint it like you can Father! Anyway, when I left the service that night I was determined to donate to your brothers cause and I am blessed to be able to do so. So, I’m donating what I can; i just wish it could be a hundred times more. God bless you, your family and Joshua. I’ll continue to pray.
