Dear Brothers and Sisters,
I am writing to you as I begin a new life. I have been radically saved by the grace of God. He, in his blood, has written redemption across my sins. Since, I have been restored, freed, and commissioned.
I began my journey of obedience and sacrifice in 2022. I had experienced the presence of God and comprehended the love affair between the cross and my heart; thank you Jesus for salvation. He began to speak to me about catalyzing my high school for Jesus by instituting a new club: The Jesus Club. This was the beginning. I thank the Lord for using my faith to ring the name of Jesus throughout Corning Painted Post High School (Matthew 17:21-21), yet I knew He had given me another assignment. I wrestled with God spiritually. Graduating high school and running to the mission field is a counter culture endeavor, yet I knew the unction of the Holy Spirit. I chose not to listen - until He broke my heart. He taught me sacrifice. I now understood the cost of and for love. I began to understand the heart of Jesus.
Quickly, I longed for intimacy and interaction with Him. Just Jesus, that is all I want. He is all I need. In the summer of 2023 I chose to publicly proclaim my love for Him. He asks for so little, yet everything. I must give Him that very thing - my life. My love for the Lord must be constituted in sacrifice and obedience. I love Him. Therefore this is why I am writing to you.
In summer 2023 I was honored with experiencing the Lord in a new way. I was pleading for Him to share His heart with me. He did just that; thank you Jesus for your grace. He imparted to me a fresh burden; the Nations. I cannot describe to you the extent for which the Lord marked my heart. A fiery grief for the unreached. (Matthew 28). Oh! How He loves us. Therefore I must go. God has ordained a clear call to action. He has made me for the Nations.
As I walk in obedience I will begin my journey with Him as His vessel proclaiming the good news to those who have not heard. Circuit Riders is a movement born from the international missions organization YWAM (Youth With A Mission). The Lord encountered me with His heart that burns for the Nations of the world to know the Gospel. He has equipped me with a catalytic love to preach the Gospel and carry His presence around the globe. Reaching the lost, reviving the saved, and training them all is the heart of The Circuit Riders. I burn to see the globe changed by the Gospel and presence of God ministered through worship. I carry a heavy burden for the Nations and unreached. Ready to “ride” to the ends of the Earth and carry the message and song of salvation through Jesus Christ.
As Circuit Riders we have a prompting of God to carry the same mantle as the original Circuit Riders. The original Circuit Riders were a group of individuals marked by the Gospel who chose selflessly to separate their lives and live preaching the Gospel to the unreached and unsaved. They contended for a movement of revival across the United States. We as the modern day Circuit Riders are moving in the same heart posture. Living separated from the world to build the Kingdom of God and make the way straight for the returning of Jesus Christ in every Nation.
The Circuit Riders are stationed in Huntington Beach, California, where I have been trained and equipped to be an effective laborer in the Lord's harvest (Matthew 9:37-38). I will then be sent on an outreach phase. I will currently be spending three months in South Africa working with youth in the school system, university campuses, and preaching the Gospel to unreached people groups. As a team we will be traveling around the country to bring the Gospel and the presence of God, then cultivating a place for the Holy Spirit to move however the will of God stands for South Africa: I yield to the will of the Father.
After this 6 month discipleship training school I will be continuing in missions as a full time missionary. I am asking for your help and support, both spiritually and financially. I am in need of funds to continue in the will of God for my life and building the Kingdom in every Nation; The Lord will provide. I am believing the Lord will supply the funds to fulfill the assignments He has for me, yet I ask in boldness if you would consider partnering with me monthly.
I stand firm in Christ’s provisions and I am confident that He will continue to supply funds as I walk in faith. If you would like to help there is information below. Most importantly I ask that you would come beside me in prayer for what the Lord has placed on my heart. The call is heavy, but I must go. Please, your prayers are most important. Not my will, but Yours be done. Amen and thank you.
With the most Love,
Lydia Rizkallah
