Meet the Board Members

​

Our team is seeking to answer a call from God to share the unfailing love of Jesus Christ, by serving women at Papas House.
 

We have been richly blessed over the years with opportunities to work with women on mission trips- in several parts of the world, work and live in transitional housing, and teach and lead Bible studies, prayer groups and healing groups.  And now we are very grateful to serve women at PPH.  

Below are quick introductions.  Let us know if you have any questions or comments, or would like to hear about our personal journeys to faith in Jesus Christ. We'd love to connect with you!

Cheri Ritz

​

Cheri is another prayer warrior and enjoys spending one-on-one time with the women, encouraging them in their growth in the Lord. She likes to correspond with women who may be future PPH family members.  You may see her kind, friendly face at Madison Park Church of God where she is a greeter.  She volunteers at school and enjoys reading and crossword puzzles.

​

She and her husband, Greg, both retired teachers, have been married forty-three years. They have two sons and two beautiful granddaughters and are very thankful to have their family close by, in the Pendleton area.  They enjoy vacations, where they can boat and relax with family and friends.

​

Cheri's prayer and dream is to see the message of Papa's house reach many women throughout the country.  She prays that women, who find transformation and healing in the name and power of Jesus Christ, would then go out and share the love of Jesus with others.  So the legacy of PPH and the healing power of Jesus would reach many women.
