The Richards Family

Ian richards

Hi, my name is Ian. I grew up as a Pastors kid and thankfully had the love of Jesus modeled to me by my parents from a young age. When I was 7 years old I asked Jesus to be my savior. Having a desire to serve God I attended Baptist Bible College in Springfield, MO. During my time there God slowly began to give me a burden for missions. After meeting and marrying my wife, Amanda, we committed to serving God in ministry full time. Since that time we have served in Canberra, Australia along side a local church for 2 years. We believe that God is now leading us to plant churches on the Pacific Islands. We are following His leading and have committed to reach out to 10 islands, to plant 10 churches on each island. We would love to have you join in the mission to make sure that every person has the opportunity to accept the life giving message of Jesus.

Amanda richards

Hi, I’m Amanda. I grew up with Christian parents that took me and my siblings to church every time the doors were open. Through their example, teaching and learning about Jesus at church, I accepted Christ at the age of 6. I grow up seeing many of my Sunday school teachers, worship pastor and people from my church feel God calling them to serve overseas and move around the world. Seeing them obey God and hearing their stories of how God was using them around the world made me want to do the same with my life. So since the age of 9 I’ve wanted to serve God wherever He would ask me to go. It’s with great joy that Ian and I get to love and serve God in ministry. We would love to have you be a part of the amazing things God is doing on the Pacific Islands.

Lily, adalyn, & emmy

God has blessed our family with 3 amazing girls, Lily Grace, Adalyn Joy and Emmy Hope. Lily is fun-filled, out going and very curious. She enjoys learning, playing, dancing and taking care of her younger sisters. Adalyn was born in Australia and has more of a feisty personality. She loves ice cream, hanging out with her family and doing anything Lily is doing. She also likes to cuddle, but watch out if she doesn’t get her sleep, she will let you know. Emmy is the baby of the family. She’s determined to keep up with her sisters, goes with the flow and always has a smile on her face. When she is around she is the center of attention. Her sisters love helping take care of her and she loves them right back. We are so blessed to be able to call these 3 girls ours.
