SEEKERS INTERNATIONAL FOUNDATION
After spending over three years as missionaries in Colombia, the Roddy family has returned to Oceanside and have opened a foundation that provides life skills training for teens and young adults. Upon returning to the U.S.A., the Roddy’s saw the same need for hope and life skills training as they encountered in Colombia. Their goal is to first meet the physical needs of young people in order to meet their spiritual needs.
Their flagship programs is their “Seekers Suicide Intervention Corps” in which they are equipping and preparing everyday people, both young and old, to combat suicide in our culture. With suicide rising to epidemic levels here in the U.S. and around the world, this is a vital ministry that is changing and saving lives.
Pray: For regular financial funding to expand the ministry nationally and internationally.
Pray: For health and financial support for the Roddy Family
