Neil Ruda

Neil Ruda and his familyThe book of 3 John tells us that Gaius supported the itinerant teachers of his day in a manner worthy of God, and that by doing so, he was a fellow worker with the truth.

Like Gaius, Neil Ruda is a missions mobilizer — impacting the eternal destiny of souls by helping fellow missionaries and ministries be more effective, efficient, and productive using modern-day tools of technology and compassion to share the gospel of Jesus Christ around the world.

You can learn more about Neil's ministry and how to pray for him and his family by visiting his website and/or his profile in the Assemblies of God Missionary Directory.

And you can support Neil financially by signing up to support him on a monthly basis or to contribute a one-time gift. Learn more at his online giving page.

In The Footsteps of Gaius

Neil Ruda: Walking in the Footsteps of Gaius

Ralph Winter, the late founder of the U.S. Center for World Mission (now Frontier Ventures), once stood before a group of college students and said, “Suppose I had a thousand college seniors in front of me who asked me where they ought to go to make a maximum contribution to Christ’s global cause. What would I tell them? I would tell them to stay home and mobilize. All of them.”1

Why did Ralph Winter, someone who did not stay home (prior to founding the U.S. Center for World Mission, he was a missionary to Guatemala), put such an emphasis on “staying home” and mobilizing? And what does it mean to “mobilize” for Christ’s global cause?

Helpful Resources

The old way of raising support means uncomfortable face-to-face meetings, paper newsletters, tons of phone calls, or speaking at churches and hoping people give. But chasing donations and hoping one-time donors become monthly supporters is stressful and unpredictable.

Fully Funded Academy is based around 7 core strategies for long-term support raising success and will help you develop a steady stream of recurring financial support with more stability and less stress so you can have greater impact in your mission to help fulfill the Great Commission.

What Does It Mean to Join a Missionary Team?

There are four basic ways to join a missionary team and participate in God's story of restoring the nations to Himself:

GO: You can physically join a missionary team "on the ground" in their geographical area of service. This can be in the form of a short-term trip (1-4 weeks), a longer stay (1-3 years), or a career commitment.

PRAY: You can subscribe to the missionary team's email or print newsletter, follow them in social media channels, join their private Facebook group, etc. and commit to praying for them and the needs they share on a regular basis.

GIVE: You can financially support the missionary team or their organization (either through cash gifts and/or monthly commitments).

SUPPORT: You can provide logistical support to the missionary team in the form of administrative help, website development, social media channel maintenance, newsletter processing, and a host of other tasks and projects - anything that will allow the missionary team to devote more time to their primary calling.
