Ruthie Young is an author and a teacher. She has worked as an RN, a home school mom, pastor’s wife and worship leader. Today she and Billy Joe work together to see Kingdom transformation come in Mississippi with Repairers of the Breach Ministries. Together they have raised up several strategic networks and have traveled the state of Mississippi and into other states and nations encouraging and teaching on strategic prayer for cities, states and nations. They continue to join these networks as they pray across the state, with a particular emphasis on praying for our state and national governmental leaders.
She and Billy Joe stand with and support the Messianic Body of Believers in Israel. Their joy is to take small groups of people to discover the land of Israel. Whether it’s your first time or your 7th time, there is always new revelation as you walk on the land where God made covenant with the people of the land and where His Son walked and cut a new covenant with his children. Ruthie loves to teach about the Land of Israel, the Hebrew calendar, God’s timing in the earth, the tallit covering, and the seven Feasts of the Lord.
In recent years Ruthie’s focus has turned toward women. Feeling that in this season God is calling His “Deborah’s” to arise and take their place alongside the men in the body of Christ not only as His bride, but also as his warriors, His Warrior Bride. She is a popular speaker at women’s retreats and conferences.
She devotes much of her time mentoring and encouraging young women, building bridges through relationships in the body of Christ.
Ruthie enjoys and takes delight in helping others find their true identity in Christ as his child and his bride. She has written two books with those values explicitly expressed: The Covenant Keeper and Your Destiny, His Glory!
Married to her covenant partner Billy Joe for 50 years, they have four children: three married daughters, a son and eleven amazing grandchildren.
