Mission Partners Book Spring 2023

Ryan & Kristen O’Leary North America

I am a member of an Ojibwe tribe here in Minnesota. God has given me a heart for First Peoples. In addition to being a tribal member myself, I have 25 years experience, including leadership experience, in Native culture. I received my masters’ of divinity from Bethel Seminary in 2003 and my doctorate

of ministry in 2013. I have served on my tribe’s economic development board, as a tribal government administrator, as a pastor and as a leader of a Native parachurch ministry.

Prayer Requests 1. Salvation for Indigenous people in North America and for the Lord to raise up more godly leaders to serve. 2. Holistic health as a family and other involved in this ministry as we are facing some significant spiritual and physical challenges. 3. For good time management. 4. More quality time with the Lord and our family. 5. For spiritual refreshing and an increase in joy in these times. 6. For our ministry support base to increase as we continue to raise prayer and financial support for the ministry (including an increase in travel and travel costs).
