Southcliff is excited to have Nik and Ruth with us in person for this life-changing event.
Nik and Ruth, with 3 children, served for over 32 years obeying Christ’s command to share Jesus across the globe. After 7 years in Malawi & South Africa, they moved to Nairobi, Kenya to begin work among the Somali people. Since that time they have journeyed globally among people whom, when they gave their lives to Jesus, faced increasing persecution for their faith. These persecuted believers modeled for the Ripkens how to trust Jesus completely.
Many of these lessons have been lost or forgotten by the church in the West.
PRESENTERS:
Reaching the Nations Among Us
The U.S. Census Bureau reports that more than 60 million residents over the age of five years old, or about 20% of the U.S. population, speak a language other than English at home. God has brought families "from every nation, tribe, people and language" to our communities.
