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.

Latest Prayer News

One of our affiliates is in North Africa this week to teach English. Today they have been invited to the home of a local student – the first time this has happened. Pray for an opportunity for a clear sharing of the universally amazing good news, and hearts ready to receive it.  

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. There have been discouragements in their teams in recent months: one professing believer is not currently meeting with other local believers after they were secretly recording them for several months; another has recanted their faith in Jesus and moved back home with parents. Alongside this, in each of the team locations, people have come to faith in the last few months or have expressed a renewed willingness to read the Word. Please ask for wisdom in discipling those who decide to follow Jesus and perseverance as some profess faith and then seem to fall away.

Ruth* works on an Indian Ocean Island seeking to share the gospel with people who have never had it explained to them. Ask God to give her contentment and encouragement in where she is at in her language learning and the ability not to compare her progress with other workers. Pray God will give her wisdom as she considers how to share about Jesus this Christmas time, and ask that He will open the hearts of her friends and neighbours to Christ.

Dawn* works to bring the gospel to unreached peoples in the Indian Ocean Islands. Ask God to prepare her heart to say goodbye to her friends on the Islands as she returns to the UK for a short visit. Pray for safe travels and a blessed time in the UK meeting with friends and family and updating her church and supporters on how God is using her and His people to share the gospel on the Islands.

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.

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
