The Ruckman Family Prayer Letter: May – June 2023

Dear Friends, Psalm 12:1 says “Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men.” This is my life verse. While the desire to be a godly, faithful man has been my heart’s cry since salvation, the Lord is giving us a generation of such men here in […]

The Ruckman Family Prayer Letter: February – March 2023

Dear Friends, Psalm 23:6 says “Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life”. This prayer letter is a testimony to the veracity of that statement.

The Ruckman Family Prayer Letter: October – January 2023

Dear Friends, Greetings in the precious name of our sweet Lord Jesus Christ. What a privilege it is to be able to serve Him in “fields that are white unto harvest”.

The Ruckman Family Prayer Letter: August – September 2022

Dear Friends, Joel 2:25a says “And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten.” While that verse was a prophecy given to a backslidden and chastened Judah, it has brought hope to many backslidden and chastened Christians. I am thankful for thereality of that verse. Have you backslidden on God? Are […]

The Ruckman Family Prayer Letter – May – July 2022

Dear Friends, Proverbs 16:9 says, “A man’s heart deviseth his way: but the LORD directeth his steps.” With Bible Institute on summer break, we began Children’s Bible Club in our compound and excitedly anticipated Saturday visitation in nearby villages … but… In June, Angie developed a rash which quickly enveloped her legs, stomach, and arms. […]

The Ruckman Family Prayer Letter – March & April 2022

Dear Praying Friends, Psalm 103:1 says, “Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.” In the last two months, so many prayer requests have been answered that all we can do is “bless the LORD”. In fact, I think this will be more of a praise letter […]

The Ruckman Family Prayer Letter – January & February 2022

Dear Praying Friends, John the Baptist said concerning the Lord Jesus Christ and himself, “He must increase, but I must decrease.” That must be the story of our lives, homes, and ministries. We must make much of Jesus Christ. When folks see and hear us, they should be seeing and hearing Christ through us. The […]

The Ruckman Family Prayer Letter – November – December 2021

Dear Friends, Merry Christmas from our home to yours. Our hearts are humbled at the goodness of God over this last year. As we look at the year in review, it is almost overwhelming to see the good hand of our God upon us. From transitioning FIBC to their own pastor; to dealing with Angie’s […]

The Ruckman Family Prayer Letter July – August 2021

Dear Praying Friends, Romans 15:20-21 says “Yea, so have I strived to preach the gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should build upon another man’s foundation: But as it is written, To whom he was not spoken of, they shall see: and they that have not heard shall understand.” While these verses reveal […]

The Ruckman Family Prayer Letter May – June 2021

Dear Praying Friends, Greetings in the good name of our Jesus Christ. As we begin another prayer letter, I want to testify concerning the goodness of our God. Romans 2:4 speaks of the “riches of his goodness”. Exodus 34:6 says that He is “abundant in goodness”. And Psalm 23:6 says “Surely goodness and mercy shall […]
