Laborer of Love; Keith Ryder

Greetings to you all...

Today, our family continues to "Trust in the Lord and His will to be done" as we humbly ask for your prayers and support. Many of you may have heard of my Husband, our Dad, Papa, Brother, Uncle, Friend, and Pastor; Keith Ryder. Some have even gotten the pleasure of meeting him; whether for a moment or a few hours, he was always willing to share God's word and love with anyone who had the time to receive. His continued passion for fulfilling God's call on his life took him to evangelize to many ministries throughout Hawaii, Revivals, Conferences, Bible Studies, and people's homes on Kaua'i, Moloka'i, Waimea, Hilo, Maui, and Hana. Living in Kahalu'u, Oahu was his planting ground, and his heart would always be praying and of service to support the many Pastors and Ministers on the Island. There is so much I could share about who he is and what he has done, but He definitely would not exalt himself above His Creator, and every word and action done, we know it was done unto God. His words, "Oh Lord God, that you would eclip your servant behind your veil so that you alone may be seen, and Your glory may be revealed."

Recently, Pastor Keith has been through some health challenges that have burdened the family financially. Within a year, he has gone through a Quadruple Heart Bypass, Started Dialysis because of kidney failure, Amputation of his toe, Covid, Covid Pneumonia, and Prescribed 24hr Oxygen assistance, along with his daily struggles with diabetes, low blood pressure, and mobility. Due to needing daily care, He had to relocate for a time to Las Vegas, where Cheryl (His wife) and Kelly (his daughter) is taking care of him. Barely there for a month, he has visited the ER once and is currently there for much critical reasons. We are praying that his blood pressure will regulate, that his blood cell counts will stabilize, that any bleeding in his body will be healed, and that He will be able to awake. Above all, we pray that the LORD's will be done.

We are asking for any financial support to relieve his medical expenses that continue to increase. Anything given is greatly appreciated. We thank you for your love, support and prayers and will keep updating as time goes by. We ask that you keep our family in your prayers as well.

May the LORD bless you and keep you. May the LORD make His face shine upon you and be gracious unto you. The LORD lift up His countenance upon you and give you peace. Shalom.
