ABOUT RICHIE
Why do you want to go on this Mission Trip to Mexico?
What previous missions experience do you have?
I have no previous missions experience.
What is your salvation testimony?
I was a young man still in the army, and didn’t realize that I had slipped into a state of depression, which led to a severe alcohol problem. I had a wife and son at home who never got to see me because I would avoid them by going fishing and drinking until after the sun went down every day after work one day my wife stopped me before I left to go fishing and asked me to please call my sister because she was the only person who could ever really get through to me. I remember calling and asking her what I needed to do and her immediate response was that I needed to go and find a place where I could be alone and cry out to God to forgive me. She told me to not dare approach him on my knees because I’m not worthy. I went into my closet and shut the door and lay down on my face with my hands above my head and immediately begin to weep uncontrollably and cry out to God, I remember opening the door to come out of the closet and into my bedroom, where the sun was shining brighter through the window than I had ever seen it before. This was in 2013. I was later baptized that same year.
What are you most looking forward to about this mission trip?
I am most looking forward to the smiles and relationships that Jesus are going to facilitate.
A little about me and my family.
I am happily and gratefully married to my beautiful wife Leah. We have 5 beautiful children and one amazing granddaughter!
Ways that you can specifically pray for me
Please pray specifically for not my will to be done but only His! That I may be a vessel to love someone to Jesus!
PRAYER SUPPORT TEAM
In Acts 13:3 prayer and fasting came before the Church sent Paul and Barnabas on their first missionary journey. I am asking you all to pray fervently for this missions trip. I would also like for you to share your prayers with those who are joining in prayer, so that we can be unified in prayer together!
Would you please partner with me in prayer?

FINANCIAL SUPPORT
In the book of Nehemiah we see how much can be accomplished when everyone pitches in. Some would say that many hands make light work. Each missionary needs to raise at least $1700 per week. I will be going for 2 weeks so I will need to raise $3400 to fund this journey. This is a journey of faith and trust for many!
Would you please partner with me in prayer and financial support?
