Reiter, Ryan & Joy

“Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation.” Mark 16:15 was the verse Ryan heard clearly when God called him into ministry. Little did this Wisconsin boy know that he would meet a California girl and that they would end up serving in a small town in rural Western Australia as part of the larger church-planting team located in nearby Perth.

“All creation” includes the subtle beauty of the Wheatbelt and the people who live there. This area of Australia boasts hot summer temperatures, cool winter temperatures, and a resilient, population of white farmers, Aboriginal families, and many people who love the quiet, spacious land. The needs of these small communities give many opportunities for Christians to minister in word and deed.

Drawn to the unique needs of the rural towns, Ryan and Joy are serving churches, Christians, and the communities around them. Through Bible teaching, prayer, and community development, they seek to begin, grow and support local churches and other Christian ministries.

Ryan and Joy have hope in Christ and they desire to see people in these communities flourish with that same hope.
