We encourage those who encourage, care for those who care, and heal those who heal the nations.
Care for Those Who Serve the Nations
Global workers carry heavy loads: cross-cultural stress, isolation, conflict, and sometimes crisis. We serve their practical, emotional, and spiritual needs so they can stay healthy and keep serving well. Much of our care happens through long-term relationships with workers who live where following Jesus costs the most.

Who Provides Care
Our care is led by Larry Ragan, CULTURELink’s Founder and Director, and his wife, Karen. Larry is certified in Marriage and Family Counseling, Spiritual Life Coaching, Cross-Cultural Counseling, and Trauma Care. They have walked with global workers for more than two decades.
What Workers Say
“After bombings hit our city and our family did a forced emergency evacuation to another country, CULTURELink’s crisis debrief program was foundational for our recovery process from war trauma. Larry and Karen met with us multiple days in person in our safe zone location… We’re so grateful for the gift of time given by the Ragans and made possible by CULTURELink’s partners during that intense time of our lives.”
H & L
Middle East
“We discovered in Larry and Karen Ragan a passion for Jesus that translates into extravagant love and generosity for His people who work in difficult places. Not only do they counsel, care, and visit us in our country, they also carry an anointed grace from Heaven with them… We are so thankful for their friendship, their presence in our lives, and for CULTURELink’s desire to care for global servants.”
M & B
East Africa
“…[I] value the one-on-one mentoring Larry gives me virtually and in person as our family has dealt with the effects of war, relocating to a new country, and navigating the challenges of marriage and parenting teens in a cross-cultural environment… We love Larry and Karen and appreciate CULTURELink’s supporters for sending them to serve the globe.”
H & A
Middle East
“…[T]here are critical moments when we need a boost to overcome insurmountable hurdles. CULTURELink is our emergency hotline in these times. During one overwhelming season, they came to humbly work beside us and invest in our staff for two weeks. They also brought a team of fellow B4T leaders for networking when our business was facing a multitude of challenges. CULTURELink trusts God with us, walks with us when we need it most, and helps us remember why we do what we do.”
