On Mission in Ukraine

On Mission in Ukraine

Dear Coworkers in the Gospel, Once a year, we gather with our Country Coordinators, who are noble brothers and sisters who work with us around the world. At last year’s meeting, Andrzej Lewek, from Poland, asked if I would come to Ukraine to help strengthen the...

Spreading the Gospel in Nigeria

Spreading the Gospel in Nigeria

This was my first time in Nigeria and Renewal Ministries’ first mission there. We did not go to the southern, Christian part of Nigeria; instead, we traveled to northeast Nigeria, which is near the birthplace of Boko Haram. It is predominantly Muslim, and Christians...

Finding Inspiration

Finding Inspiration

Dear Fellow Disciples, I am inspired by you. I am inspired by how many of you use our booklets or books to spread God’s Word to others. I am inspired by how many years many of you have been supporting our ministry. I am inspired by the notes you write and the stories...

Be Bold and Fearless

Be Bold and Fearless

The following article is condensed from a 2024 The Choices We Face interview between Kevin Wells (KW) and Ralph Martin (RM). You can watch the original interview here. KW: When I turned forty, I went on a retreat. I was fed up with malaise and sloth. I wasn't in...

The Ugandan Martyrs: An Astounding Witness

The Ugandan Martyrs: An Astounding Witness

I recently shared about Renewal Ministries' ongoing work in Uganda. One of the most special things about Uganda is the extraordinary example of the Ugandan martyrs. In the late nineteenth century, a king who was greatly angered by his Christian pages’ resistance to...

On Mission in Uganda

On Mission in Uganda

Dear Partners in Evangelization, I am excited to share with you the amazing experience a group of us recently had during an almost two-week mission to Uganda. I was joined by Bishop Scott McCaig, of Canada’s Military Ordinariate, who is a long-time friend and member...

Spreading the Gospel in Slovakia & Croatia

Spreading the Gospel in Slovakia & Croatia

In addition to serving in Slovakia, this mission included an invitation from the Catholic community of Nova Srce (New Heart) in Croatia. Bishop Đuro Hranić, of the Archdiocese Đakovo-Osijek, granted the community permission to host us. We began with three intense days...

‘A Life in the Spirit’: The Wrecker is Coming

‘A Life in the Spirit’: The Wrecker is Coming

Read an excerpt from Ralph Martin's new memoir, A Life in the Spirit, below! One night I was walking back to my room after attending a weird, dark, off-campus party, and I saw a tow truck drive by. It was the only vehicle on the road in the dark morning hours. I...

Spreading the Gospel in Rwanda

Spreading the Gospel in Rwanda

Our mission in Rwanda began in the Gikongoro Diocese with a beautiful celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the Catholic Charismatic Renewal. Lloyd spoke about the promises of the Jubilee and applying those promises to our lives. He concluded by inviting the...

Stepping Out in Faith

Stepping Out in Faith

“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to a place which he was to receive as an inheritance; and he went out, not knowing where he was to go” (Heb 11:1,8). The biblical...

Thankful to Serve

Thankful to Serve

Dear Friends, Each day brings a new adventure, a new challenge, a new invitation, doesn’t it? What will the Lord place in my path today? How can I be alert to what God is giving me to do? What will the challenge of the day be? To resist temptation? To love? To...

Living Sacrifices

Living Sacrifices

True worship is not just prayer time but obedient service with our whole life. Jesus says, “If you love me, you will keep my commandments” (Jn 14:15). And Romans 12:1 exhorts us, “I appeal to you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a...

We Can’t Celebrate a Lie!

We Can’t Celebrate a Lie!

A Pride Day celebration will soon be hosted near my hometown. I hope our response reflects that of our Savior—who always loved others and called them to repent of their sins. Today’s dominant culture warns that if you don’t actively support the LGBTQIA+ lifestyle, you...

Signs of Hope

Signs of Hope

Dear Brothers and Sisters,  May grace and peace be yours!  Yes, we are gifted with the peace that the world can’t give—the peace that comes from knowing we are loved and that we are part of Christ’s own body and have his own Spirit living in us. The Spirit that raised...

He Is Calling

He Is Calling

When I was nineteen, the Lord spoke to me: “Come, and I will make you fishers of men.” I have always desired to do big things, but I realized—a little late in the game—that God doesn’t call anyone to go out without first calling them in to follow Him. I did that...

I Met the Messiah

I Met the Messiah

I grew up in a Jewish family with Jewish friends. I went to a Jewish school and lived in a Jewish neighborhood. I didn’t know anything about Christianity. I thought everyone was Jewish.  I learned about God through the Old Testament, but I didn’t know Him personally....

By His Wounds We Are Healed

By His Wounds We Are Healed

In seminary, we started evangelizing in downtown Detroit. I’ll never forget meeting one man asking for money. I said, “Jesus Christ loves you.” He responded incredulously, “Are you serious? I need some money.” I repeated, “We came here to tell you that Jesus Christ...
