Pastor Rick and Debbie have been serving the Lord in ministry for 43 years. Their last full-time pastorate in Yuma, Arizona concluded in 2018, where Rick served as Senior Pastor for 23 years in a dynamic church with a global reach. Partnering with the people of Grace Bible Fellowship, they were blessed to see God bring about much fruit from the church’s missions ministry. Over 1000 people came to Christ in the 23 years and the church sent out approximately 35 short-term mission teams, had a book published in Sri Lanka, and established a ministry in Jordan to Syrian Refugees.

Now Rick & Debbie are full-time missionaries with Global Training Network. They train and serve Pastors and church leaders in various parts of the world. Their service includes Jordan, Guatemala, Sri Lanka, UAE, Rwanda, Mexico, Egypt, Tanzania, Uganda, Kenya and Native American populations, all of which involved service and training of indigenous leaders. Also now, Rick is the Church Health Consultant on the team of Venture Church Network Southwest. He is a coach, interim, and servant to the 75 churches and pastors of our association of churches of which First Baptist Church of Nogales is a part.
