Honoring the Legacy of Ruth Archer

By Friend, Pastor, and Leader, Apostle Cheryl Weaver April 2nd, 2026

Ruth Archer was a rare and beautiful gift—selfless, steadfast, and deeply beloved. She was a treasure, truly one of a kind.

Ruth carried a grace that made people feel seen, valued, and safe to be themselves. She created space for others to thrive, to grow, and to step forward in confidence. She didn’t just believe in people—she cheered them on . She lifted others, strengthened them, and made them feel loved and accepted in a way that was both genuine and lasting.

She was a giver—freely and joyfully. Ruth gave her time, her energy, her wisdom, and her resources without hesitation. Everyone who knew her experienced her generosity. She served with a full heart, always loving, always encouraging, always looking for a way to bless someone else.

Ruth loved the Lord deeply. She delighted in prayer, in ministering, in prophesying, and in sharing the love of Christ wherever she went. She didn’t wait for a platform—her life was the ministry. Whether in a taxi in Panama or walking the streets of New Orleans, Ruth never met a stranger. She carried the love of God into every conversation, every encounter, every moment.

She had a special love for children. Every child mattered to her. She would engage them, teach them, and pour into them with joy and intention. Her heart was tender, attentive, and full of delight in seeing others grow—no matter their age.

Ruth was an encourager and a problem solver. She brought joy wherever she went—she loved to laugh, to celebrate, to shout, and to live fully. At the same time, she was deeply present for others, attentive to their needs, and committed to helping them succeed.

What made Ruth even more remarkable was her humility. Though she was a high-level executive in the secular world—traveling across the nation and internationally—she came into There’s More Ministries with a teachable spirit. She was eager to learn, to grow, and to serve. She didn’t stand on titles; she embraced purpose.

Ruth stepped into multiple roles within the ministry with excellence and dedication. She served as our Prophetic Overseer, our Intercessory Prayer Coordinator, and a Chaplain on our Chaplaincy Force. But more than any title, she was my co-leader, co-laborer, and trusted partner —second in leadership within the ministry, walking in both apostolic and prophetic grace.

She ministered to her family wholeheartedly. Everything Ruth did, she did with her whole heart—fully present, fully invested, fully given.

She traveled the world for business, yet she used her life and resources to fund and advance the Kingdom of God for His glory. She understood stewardship—not just of finances, but of influence, time, and calling.

And this must be said:

Ruth was seen.

Ruth was heard.

Ruth was known.

She was known by God, known by those she loved, and known by the fruit of a life poured out in service, humility, and love.

And even in her final moments, that same love continued to speak.

When Ruth passed away in hospice, something extraordinary happened—something that reflects the true measure of her life. Every single staff member lined the hallways as she was being carried out. One by one, they stood in honor.

Why?

Because she had touched every single person she encountered—even in her final days.

Even in her weakness, she was still ministering.

Even in her silence, her life was still speaking.

Even as she transitioned from this life, her love remained present and powerful.

Ruth Archer was not just part of the ministry—she helped carry it. She helped build it. She strengthened the people within it.

Her life was marked by love, generosity, humility, and unwavering devotion to God and to others.

And her impact will continue—through every life she touched, every heart she lifted, and every seed she planted.
