Al and Pat Rhea have been staff members with Campus Crusade for Christ (Cru) since 1973. They served in Kenya and Uganda for 21 years, then 10 years at the Christian Embassy in Washington, DC. Currently they are part of the local Cru Executive Ministry, ministering with professional and business leaders in the Greenville area. However, their primary ministry thrust is gathering and distributing prayer requests for ministries in Southern and Eastern Africa (SEA). This is accomplished using the interactive website www.pray4sea.org, weekly prayer focus emails, and several Facebook postings. Al and Pat have three married children and a single daughter who is also on staff with Cru. They have twelve grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.
Way to Pray: The Rheas praise God that they have a part-time caregiver for Pat. This allows them to stay in their home and for Al to have more flexibility for outside ministries, etc. Pray for an increase in the number of faithfully committed to Pray4SEA prayer partners. Pray for Pat as she adjusts to her limited activities. Pray she can have more opportunities for encouragement from home.
