RENEWED Ministries Update – 7 March 2025
NEWS PRAYER AND SUPPORT UPDATE!
This is the RENEWED Ministries update for 7 March, as provided by Reverend Courtney Richards.
Hello, friends and prayer partners. Grace and peace overflowing to you and your loved ones.
For over two months, I was on mission in the Caribbean islands of Jamaica, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Trinidad and Grenada. I returned last Thursday, February 27th, and have been resting but picked up a cough and cold, which I am trying to deal with. It was a rich, fruitful, and challenging time, anointed by God’s Spirit. I ministered in churches, schools, prison, and online to young and old alike. I met with mentees and friends to find out how they were doing and listen to their hearts as they shared what God is doing in their lives and ministries. God is still speaking to us, challenging us to be true followers of Jesus and be engaged in making disciples in our times and to our generation. What a challenge. What a God! Please pray that God’s word and the overall ministry in the Caribbean will bear much long-lasting fruit and the multiplication of disciples for His Kingdom and glory.
This afternoon, Friday, March 7, I have appointments at my primary care doctor and cardiologist here in Miami to do my regular checks and get the results of my recent blood tests. My doctor is checking to see if I have diabetes. This is very concerning, but my faith is in the Lord! Please pray for excellent results and that all is well with me and my health. As you know, I have had health challenges all my life, but God continues to keep me and to use me for His glory regardless.
Africa Missions 2025 is two months away! We do not have all the money! Gifts have been slowly coming in. We do NOT want to cancel the ministry in any other African country that we are scheduled to be in this year. We have already had to cancel our mission to Goma, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), which was scheduled for late May into early June because of the war there. Pray for Goma and the DRC and neighboring countries, too. Pray for peace there. And pray for God’s provision for Africa Missions 2025. God is doing great work there, and you are a vital partner in that. We need approximately $20,000-$25,000 more to meet our overall budget. Our deadline is March 31st, just three weeks from now. Let us trust God together to provide for all our needs. Please give to the mission and ask others to give. We need it.

Coram Deo!
Always in God’s grip,
Courtney Richaerds
