Ryleigh’s Ministry
Recently when I was in Pennsylvania, I met Ryleigh, a little girl with a great big heart for Jesus. Ryleigh used the Joni book to give a report to her class (complete with sitting in a wheelchair with a pen in her mouth :-). Her teacher, Mr. Baughman, is also a Christian, and he was so impressed with her report that he contacted Joni and Friends to tell us about Ryleigh. We sent Mr. Baughman 20 copies of the “WHY?” booklet for his school library, and to pass out to other children. And Ryleigh returned the favor to her teacher — she came and asked Ken and me to sign a copy of Joni & Ken: An Untold Love Story for him. Kudos to you, Ryleigh, for thinking of creative, wonderful ways to encourage your teacher and share the Gospel with your classmates!
