Ruth began in ministry by teaching women the Biblical principles of a strong, Godly family; and she ministered throughout the United States with this message. In 1978, Ruth and her husband Owen started their ministry as missionaries in the Caribbean Islands and Guyana. In 1980, they traveled to the Philippine Islands where they established Antioch Bible Training Center in Angeles City.

In 1988, Owen graduated to heaven. Ruth continued with the vision they had together in the Philippines.
