Over the last few weeks, Jessica and I have been awestruck, completely overwhelmed, by God’s provision and the generosity of our friends, family, and network. This is one of those seasons where I just stop, look at what’s going on, and realize that God is not only in control, but has been working behind the scenes the whole time.

We’ve seen an incredible wave of new support come in from friends, family, coworkers, our church community, and fellow believers (some we don’t even know)! Just WOW! We’ve seen gifts of great abundance, some out of deep faith, and all together, these gifts have pushed us within reach of our 2026 ministry budget. One anonymous gift arrived as a complete surprise this week; reminding Jessica and I that God can move in hearts in people we aren’t even aware of to accomplish His work.

My discipler, reminded me of an important message here: “Maybe God wants you to approach fundraising like He’s already provided for you.” Man, that’s powerful because it sure seems like he’s got it taken care of. Each gift is about more than money. They are each a testimony of our ability to trust God to provide for the work He’s doing in Malawi.

Because of these generous contributions:

• Completion of our ministry budget for 2026 is actually within reach!!
• Several needs beyond our ministry budget have been partly or completely funded!
• A new, gospel preaching church plant will be able to purchase land and construct a basic meeting structure.
•  Our family will be able to lead in the third Vacation Bible School at When the Saints Girls Academy.
• The groundwork has been laid for so much more that we can’t wait to share with you!
• Girls that have recently graduated from When the Saints will be able to continue attending school through the funded scholarship program.

In this last season, we’ve talked a lot about being “all in” at Redemption Road Church. Well, this is what being “all in” for missions looks like: the Body of Christ coming together to do something none of us could do alone.

To every person that prayed, given, or encouraged us, Jessica and I want to say Thank You. You are a part of this story. And if you’ve been considering joining our support team, there’s no better time than right now. God is clearly moving, and we’d love for you to be a part of what He’s doing next.

Blessings,
Ryan
