From CULTURELink's Staff & Board of Directors - 1/13/22
On Tuesday, January 11, 2022, our Director, Larry Ragan, was involved in an accident in Florida, where Larry and his wife, Karen, were on vacation. While out for a walk, he was struck by moped that lost control. After being admitted to the Emergency Room, he was transported by helicopter to a hospital in Miami and admitted into the trauma unit.
He sustained a fractured scapula, five broken ribs, a collapsed lung, and his head needed sutures and staples. To relieve pressure from his lung and help it recover, a tube was inserted into his chest. The doctors have finally been able to help get the pain under control today. The collapsed lung is also improving already and he is able to get out of bed and walk. Thankfully, he sustained no injuries to the brain, neck, or spine. He will likely be in the trauma unit at the hospital a few more days.
Please join us in praying for quick recovery. He is in good spirits and his wife, Karen, is able to be with him in the hospital. We do request that you limit the calls, texts, emails, and messages to Larry over the next few days. Any updates going forward will be limited, and will be shared here on CULTURELink‘s Facebook page and via email.
A quote from Larry: “Do me a favor, do not make me laugh or cry or cough or sneeze or even burp, my ribs can’t take it. I am grateful to all of you. AND I am in good spirits because of all of [your prayers]!”
A related ministry update: We will be postponing our training seminar in Atlanta that was to take place next weekend. New dates will be determined soon and information will be sent out.
If you have any questions, please direct them to CULTURELink‘s Assistant Director, Ryan Hurlburt, by email at ryan@culturelinkinc.org.
