Richmonds to lead a global/local ministry of Nappanee Missionary Church

NAPPANEE Nappanee Missionary Church recently announced that Tom Richmond will be heading up a new global/local missions venture called Global Impact Teams under the direction of Nappanee Missionary Church. The intent of this venture is to help volunteers impact the world through work and ministry teams “across the street and across the seas." Tom, who will complete service as vice’president of operations for Borkholder Buildings on Jan. 14,2004, realized several years ago when they were on their first Nappanee Missionary Church-sponsored mission trip together to Jamaica, God had something very special He wanted him and his wife Terry to do. As time went on, God kept opening doors that eventually led to an offer to oversee all mission trips that the local church plans. This includes working with the teams prior to each assignment to prepare the individuals for the culture and the work to be done, working with them side-by-side in a leadership role while the team serves in the field, and making certain that all details are tended to at the conclusion of each project Over the past 10 years, the Richmonds have participated on mission teams that served in Jamaica, the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Kenya, Honduras and Moldova. There are many logistic and ethnic challenges inherent in serving on a short-term in such diverse cultures. But two goals remain constant for all of the teams that Tom & Teny will lead: They desire for each team member to discover what God wants to do in them, through them and for them during this time; and for each one to come home with a pas-

Community

skn for the people whose fives they have touched Any significant change in fife - big or small - is difficult. Tom and Teny Richmond agree, yet they have chosen to make one of the biggest changes of their life in order to follow what they believe is God’s plan for them. “Change is not easy, and sometimes it is very scary," said Tom Richmond recently. “You can get very comfortable in what you are doing, and then all at once God has other plans for your fife. God has blessed me with a great job, an exceptional company and wonderful people to work with for the past twenty-nine years. I will miss that part of my life. But I am confident that what is happening in our fives is no accident. We are excited about what the future holds.” Why would anyone make such a huge life change after a long and successful career? Tom explains, “Ever since our first mission trip, Teny and I have felt that God had As time went on. He kept opening doors that made it possible for this to happen. We feel that we can serve in this capacity, and that it is exactly where God wants us. We are never as close to God as when we are instruments in His hands serving others in the Kingdom."
