Rita’s thoughts

Listen and Hear - We "listen" constantly. We have TV, music, conversations always going. But do we take the time to "hear". There are times it is good to be silent - as we drive or work or rest - and listen to what God has to say. It's not necessary to meditate and sit still. Just be silent and hear. He wants to talk to us.

Rita's Story

Rita was married to Bud McDonald for 33 years. Bud McDonald (1942-2003) was called to ministry in Latin America in 1973.

Bud and Rita were married in 1970 in Baytown, Texas just a few years before being called to ministry. Their ministry gradually spread from Belize to Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador then finally to Mexico. Through their ministry, first starting with the Burton McDonald Evangelistic Association, then changing over to The Sower, Inc. in 1983, Bud and Rita started over 140 churches throughout Central America and Mexico.

Bud’s influence extended from Argentina to Cuba through Central America into parts of Texas and the Southern U.S. through evangelistic crusades, meetings, radio and television.

Rita McDonald began serving in ministry alongside her husband Bud soon after their marriage. She used her secretarial skills in editing and typing a weekly Christian newspaper, and in helping Bud compile a Bible correspondence school. She led worship in new churches they started, and taught weekly children’s Sunday school classes as well as vacation Bible schools. After moving back to the US in the 80’s she co-pastored several churches with her husband, led a Bible study at a local Christian Television station and continued to be active in the work in Latin America.

She home-schooled all four of their children through high school.

In response to God’s leading she married Henry Pulsifer in November 2010, and is his partner as he fulfills the ministry God has given him. Their main focus is providing training to native leaders outside the U.S. This includes working with Bud's son Scott to provide training for the leaders in the work he established.
