Happy Father’s Day

Today we honor the men who lead, protect, provide, teach, and love their families through every season of life.

To the fathers, grandfathers, stepfathers, foster fathers, spiritual fathers, and mentors—thank you for your sacrifices that often go unseen. Thank you for the prayers whispered in private, the wisdom shared around the table, the lessons taught through hard work, and the example of faith lived out daily.

A godly father is more than a provider; he is a shepherd of his home, a defender of his family, and a reflection of our Heavenly Father’s love.

“The righteous man walks in his integrity; his children are blessed after him.” — Proverbs 20:7

Today we celebrate the men who have stood their post, carried the weight, and remained faithful through the storms.

Happy Father’s Day from all of us at Runner’s Refuge Ministries. May God bless every father and strengthen you for the important calling He has placed upon your life.

Restored. Equipped. Sent. ❤️🖤

Rachel and I have been working with missionaries on the ground in Pakistan to reach people in Faisalabad for some time. Acts 1:8 reminds us that the mission of the Gospel was never meant to stop at our own post. Jesus said we would be His witnesses in Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.
As commissioned US Missionaries, our first calling is to be faithful where God has planted us, but we also recognize that His mission reaches far beyond the familiar.
Long before we accepted our post in US Missions we were boots on the ground in Zimbabwe, Haiti, Ethiopia, South Africa, Ukraine, Nepal, the Philippines and to Pakistan. Even while I was in the military I never passed up a chance to minister in Iraq and Kuwait or any other country our government sent us to. In Pakistan, we are trusting the Holy Spirit to open doors, prepare hearts, and use this work for His glory. This is not about building Runner's Refuge name or our name. It is about carrying the name of Jesus to places where hope is desperately needed.
Would you pray with us as we follow the leading of the Spirit and believe God for lasting Kingdom fruit in Pakistan? Our Friends John, Anmol, and their new baby Ezekial are doing an amazing work in Pakistan, God's Work!, and we are trying to support them and supply for them the best we can. Today we need to send them Bibles in their language , URDU, so they can effectively minister to the least, the last, and the lost in the third largest city in Pakistan.
“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses…” — Acts 1:8

Would you Help us share the Gospel of Jesus Christ through the power of the Written Word of God?
