Ron thought he had everything he needed in life. He was happily married, was a successful golf-pro, and a good Catholic. But it wasn’t until the mid-1980’s when his teenage daughter, Chrissy, was dying of Hodgkin’s Disease that he sought to know the truths in the Bible. One day Chrissy said something to him that got his attention. “Dad, I am going home to Heaven soon, and I don’t think I will ever see you again. You go to church and know about God... but you don’t know Jesus.”
After Ron trusted Christ as Savior, he and his wife, Flo, became connected with Word of Life. Ron and Flo’s faith continued to grow as they heard God’s Word preached while attending conferences at Word of Life in Schroon Lake, New York and in Hudson, Florida. In 1996 the Stansburys purchased a Park Model in the Word of Life Florida RV Park. Soon after, Flo went Home to be with the Lord. Ron continued serving in many ways on the Florida campus. But what gives him the most joy is helping to raise funds for camp scholarships through a variety of events. His favorite remark is, It’s all about the kids!
