Speaking Requests

Thank you for prayerfully considering Nik and Ruth Ripken to lead your event! Their mission is to grow and deepen the Kingdom of God by teaching Biblical truths, sharing lessons learned from believers in persecution, anchored by their 37+ years of global missionary experience. They are available to speak at churches, schools, sending agencies, and other events.

Nik and Ruth prioritize engagements offering 10–20 hours of teaching and interaction to ensure meaningful impact. Ruth also leads women’s events, modeling how to share the gospel effectively, with practical steps especially for engaging Muslim women. Additionally, Anthony Ball, an NRM leader, church planter, and missions pastor, offers similar sessions on cross-cultural ministry. Erskin Anavitarte, a well-known musician and worship leader, partners with NRM in word and music that also amplifies the voices of believers in persecution.
