Hello
Anthony Ryker is a servant of Jesus Christ. He and his wife, Lacy, have been married for fifteen years and have three children. They live in Derby, Kansas, where they started a youth ministry at a local non-denominational church.
Heart Turn Global grew out of that same calling. Through videos, studies and gatherings, it shares the gospel with anyone who will listen, always centered on the crucifixion, the resurrection and the return of Jesus Christ.
“Our goal is simple, spread the gospel as far and wide as possible.” Anthony Ryker
Our story
Anthony grew up on a dairy farm in Douglass, Kansas, in a divorced family, and attended Douglass First Christian Church. As a young man he lived through a season of serious sin, before marrying his high school sweetheart, Lacy.
In 2011, Anthony and Lacy were arrested in Larimer County, Colorado, for growing cannabis. Soon after, they learned they were expecting their first daughter, and they accepted a plea deal of four years’ probation.
Their story didn’t end there. After COVID, the Rykers committed their lives to full-time ministry and founded a church youth group for students from 12 to 18. It grew to an average of more than 45 students before they stepped down five years later.
Today that same calling drives Heart Turn Global: an online outreach that connects believers beyond the walls of the church while the world waits for Christ’s return.

- The Lord is coming back soon.We want to be ready, and to help as many people as we can get ready too. Acts 1:11
- Every believer belongs in a local church.We are a church without walls, not a replacement for one, and we encourage everyone to be part of a local body of believers.
