Rick and Crystal Rumer’s journey began as a family road trip to Alaska and turned into a radical life shift of faith and purpose. Leaving behind successful businesses after moral conflicts, they founded a refuge for women and children rescued from sex trafficking, working with law enforcement and the FBI. Their discovery of Shabbat became central — a rhythm of rest and renewal that sustained their work and family. Through keeping Shabbat, they found peace amid darkness, learning that faith requires stopping, resting, and trusting.When illness brought them back to Texas, the Rumers rebuilt their business with integrity at its core. Their real estate company now helps working families own property through fair, faith-driven financing. They’ve seen firsthand how ethics and enterprise can coexist — deferring payments for struggling clients and prioritizing people over profit. Today, near Fort Worth, they celebrate Shabbat with a tight-knit fellowship, living out what they learned in Alaska: that obedience, rest, and trust in God bring both spiritual and practical renewal.
