Announcements and Prayer Requests
  • AIA's Global Leadership Council (12 leaders from 9 countries) will be meeting in person next week. I've been invited to join them to lead strategic planning efforts for the global ministry plan for World Cup 2026. I'd appreciate prayers for wisdom, unity, and leading by the Spirit during this time together.
  • Please pray for the launch of the partnership project in Latin America. There is much coordinating and logistics to put in motion over the next couple months ahead of a pivotal gathering of leaders from countries throughout the region meeting together in Colombia in June.
  • 7 countries have ministry proposals being reviewed to join in the partnership project in Asia. Please pray for the missionaries in these countries, and that the Lord would provide the funds to support the ministry.
  • 4 Countries in North Africa and the Middle East have proposals being reviewed to launch a partnership project and leverage the opportunity to engage people with the Gospel during the African Cup of Nations this summer. Please pray for the leaders in these persecuted countries that the Lord would use them and many enemies of Christ would surrender their lives to him.

Dan and Andrea Ryder
  • Pray for our son David, to walk with the Lord and make decisions that honor Him.
  • Cami is our youngest daughter, who has big missionary dreams for her future…and Cru has asked her for some much-needed leadership of close to thirty young missionaries who will go to South Africa for a month this July.  You might know that 95 percent of all career missionaries have one thing in common in their backgrounds…they went on short-term projects as young people.  Andrea and I are thrilled at the choices Cami is making and we hope you’ll pray for her.
  • From Cami:
    • Last summer, I got the opportunity to complete a summer internship with MK2MK, the ministry at Cru that works to support missionary kids and their families. It was an incredible experience. God taught me so much about myself and the importance of my testimony, as well as the importance of community and serving others with our talents. I've been invited to serve with MK2MK on this year's summer mission trip, from July 4th to the 31st. To make this possible, I need to develop a Ministry Partner Team. This is a group made up of people like you who would like to join me in this journey by praying and giving financially. My total need is roughly $6900, due by June 7th. I’d like to ask for prayer during this time. Please pray that God prepares me in these months before I go. Thank you for taking the time to read this, and thank you for being a part of my life.” Would you pray and think about helping our wonderful daughter go on her missions’ trip? The
      link is at the bottom of this letter, time is somewhat short, your gift to Cru is tax deductible, and Andrea
