Rex and Ruby

Rex and Ruby* have served in a variety of different creative access locations, seeking to share the gospel with those who have yet to hear it.

In 2017 they moved to a new location, which is a popular tourist resort for locals in their country. When they moved there, they knew of no Christian believers in that area. Over recent years they have encountered some followers of Jesus but those they’ve met live isolated and difficult lives, without the encouragement of local fellowship.

To meet more people in their community, as well as a means to contribute to their society and to give them reason to stay in country, Rex & Ruby have set up an English Language centre and teach English to professionals. They also lead a team, with team members able to serve through teaching, and also through a wide range of seasonal work available in their resort town.

They are seeking through all their encounters and through the witness of their team, to share more of Christ’s love and model lives lived with hope to their friends, students, neighbours and wider community.

Rex and Ruby* have served in a variety of different creative access locations, seeking to share the gospel with those who have yet to hear it. Pray for the security and safety of their teammates and friends in a country hostile to the gospel of Jesus Christ. Months ago, a dear local friend came under police pressure for telling others about Jesus and as a result, many other local believers were at risk of being ‘exposed’ (with the potential for imprisonment) for speaking about the Bible and encouraging others to leave their local religion and follow Jesus. Pray for God to strengthen these believers’ hearts to stand firm as the body of Christ, even when others in their culture tempt them to give each other up for financial or personal security.

Holly* serves at Kijabe Hospital, Kenya. The national health insurance fund recently introduced a new system, which has had some initial problems, meaning people were unable to apply for funding for treatment, leaving many unable to access the care they need. Sadly, Holly* has seen at least one patient die as they avoided going to the hospital due to cost and their sickness progressed. Pray that the system will soon be changed to provide the necessary support for people needing care and that God will strengthen Holly and give her opportunities to share her hope in Jesus as the ultimate healer of bodies and souls. 

Rex and Ruby* have served in a variety of different creative access locations, seeking to share the gospel with those who have yet to hear it.  Pray for their friend Amanda*, who sadly became unemployed again and who has begun an online recipe and meal delivery service to support herself and use her gifts in cooking. Pray that God will provide her with a reliable income. She often speaks as if she is a believer, however, she denies Jesus as Lord. Pray that God will open her heart to acknowledge Jesus as God and Saviour.

Creative Access

We use ‘Creative Access’ to refer to nations, areas or ministries where there is great hostility towards Christianity and where traditional ‘missionary work’ is not possible. Workers, therefore, need to be ‘creative’ in how they proclaim the liberating news of Jesus Christ. In North Africa alone, 200 million people from 472 unreached people groups are unreached with the gospel. That’s 200 million people unknowingly heading for a Christ-less eternity. LEARN MORE
