Nothing Less Than God’s Best

05/30/2025

This past weekend, Memorial Day was a time of reflection on the brave sacrifices made for our freedom and we also honored the HEROES OF OUR FAITH. As a U.S. Missionary for over 22 years, I am dedicated to SEEK and SAVE THE LOST and THOSE IN NEED, and to SEND those with a heart of compassion to reach their neighbors. With CORD Ministries transitioning this past year to fulfill Matthew 25:31-40, I am currently seeking to raise an additional $1,785 in monthly support due to a recent increase in my mission budget. Your partnership is vital as we continue to serve the hungry, thirsty, and forgotten as we expand God's kingdom. Together, let's cultivate missions and reach the lost!

Dear Prayer Warriors , I’ve been fasting social media for most of this year…especially in October-December while seeking God’s direction for the next 12-15 years in ministry. It might seem like I’ve “dropped off the face of the earth” since I haven’t been posting any updates, but I have been very busy with special projects and preparing for the next level of effectiveness and fruitful ministry.

I’m breaking my fast today to share a quick testimony and prayer request:

On Wednesday, November 13, I was blessed with the opportunity to serve with hundreds of other SEEK-AND-SAVE volunteers in Las Vegas. We packed 4,000 bags of food in only 1.5 hours from Convoy of Hope and loaded them into 2 large trucks. We’re distributing these bags of food throughout this week at local outreaches as we share the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Please pray for each new believer to be connected to a church family who will minister to and disciple them effectively.

And as you know, my heart’s cry for the past 21 years as a U.S. Missionary has been to train churches to reach the lost and prepare them for discipleship. I truly hope someone has been training these churches in advance of the outreaches to effectively follow up on each new believer!!

This week of outreach events with SEEK-AND-SAVE has been duplicated all across our nation throughout this year (and continuing next year…if you’d like to join one of these events). Please pray for souls to be saved and lives transformed as we expand God’s kingdom this Saturday at a huge BLOCK PARTY!!

As Autumn quickly approaches and I’m seeking the Lord’s direction in prayer, I’ll be fasting all social media until Christmas time. If you’re truly a friend or prayer partner, then you know how you can reach me by text or email. Signing off for now, JoAnn Riley

Dear Friends and Prayer Warriors! As we close out 2023, I hesitate to ask, but I need to start the New Year with all my expenses covered. My Nat’l Missions Office wants me to be fully-funded in 2024. For the past 2 years, I received $20,000/annually LESS in donations than the previous 3 years…that’s $1,666.66/monthly. SERIOUSLY!

Plus, I need $1,550/monthly to cover travel expenses for my new Mission Assignment in 2024 to utilize my RV to come alongside other US Missionaries, RV Volunteers, and Churches to RECRUIT and EQUIP MISSION TEAMS for outreach events…that’s $3,216 more in monthly support. Please consider partnering with me and SHARE this post:

Look what happened at Indian Rocks Baptist Church!! Praise the Lord…I’d love to hear his testimony of the faith journey that brought him to this point in his life.

Don’t look back at your past…wondering what might have been, or regretting what you’ve done or what you’ve lost…keep your eyes on Jesus as He guides you to greater blessings and more valuable treasures in heaven.

Please pray for Bonita Rowden, a Missionary who needs a supernatural miracle.

Just a little bit closer to reaching my 2023 goal for travel expenses…I only need $2,000/month in additional monthly support to cover hotels, gasoline, meals, and vehicle maintenance. (This just barely covers the funds I’ve lost in monthly donations over the last 2 years.) Please use the following link or SHARE it with someone who understands the need of caring for our U.S. Missionaries who serve on the frontline of the enemy’s territory:
