Biography

Billy Joe & Ruthie Young founded Repairers of the Breach in 2003. They felt the Lord wanted them to give full time to the over sight of the Mississippi Prayer Network and the MS Global Apostolic Network(part of the USGAPN). Billy Joe had pastored full time since 1980 and Ruthie, a registered nurse, had schooled their children at home. In 1994 Billy Joe began travelling the state with the MS Prayer network while pastoring.

Ruthie went back into nursing when Joseph their youngest son was in the 11th grade. After working for three years the Lord spoke to her and asked if she would "Stand in the Gap for MS." At that point she and Billy Joe began to feel that he should step down as pastor and consider overseeing the Networks full time. They began doing this in 2003.

They're passion is to see the Kingdom of God come in Mississippi. Four major focuses of prayer are:
Revival in the church
Reconciliation, Racial, Denominational, & Gender
Justice and Righteousness in Mississippi
And a Harvest of Souls.

They direct prayer initiatives, teach on community transformation, and over see a Network of Intercessors, s Strategic Prayer Council and a State Apostolic Council.
