The mission of Nik Ripken Ministries (NRM) is to expand the Kingdom of God by sharing truths and practices learned from believers in persecution.
IS JESUS WORTH IT?
A Relationship
with Jesus
The journey begins with you, and those you love and live among, having a personal relationship with Jesus. It’s not about structures. It is not even about you. It’s about Jesus.
Internalizing the
Word of God
Reading and listening to the Word of God is key in growing in your relationship with Jesus. God has given us His Word so we can live a victorious life and so we can learn to share this life with others.
Belonging to the
Body of Christ
After almost 30 years overseas we can certainly say that it is a great honor and pleasure to walk with Jesus among the nations. But it is just as great an honor to share Christ with your neighbor.

The Insanity
of Sacrifice
BOOK
The Insanity of Sacrifice is a 90-day devotional to help align your heart with God’s, seeing the role sacrifice plays in the life of followers of Jesus Christ. It is through offering ourselves that we mirror the nature of the Father who gave His only Son to be crucified, and the nature of the Son who gave His very life to save sinners. Readers will discover that their sacrifice can lead others—across the street and across the oceans—to discover new resurrection life in Christ.
The Insanity
of God
BOOK
The Insanity of God is the journey of an ordinary couple from rural Kentucky who thought they were going on an ordinary missionary pilgrimage. After six hard years doing relief work in Somalia and experiencing life where it looked like God had turned away completely and He was clueless about the tragedies of life, the couple had a crisis of faith and left Africa asking, “Will you follow God even when it doesn’t make sense?”
The Insanity
of Obedience
BOOK
The Insanity of Obedience book is a bold challenge to global discipleship. Nik Ripken exposes the danger of safe Christianity and calls readers to something greater.
