Andy Richey
I was raised in a good, moral home. My parents started going to church when I was quite young, and I can recall them both getting saved. A short time later (at about age nine), I made a profession of faith. After moving to Xenia, Ohio, under the preaching of my former pastor, Dr. David McClellan, I felt great conviction from the Holy Spirit within me about my relationship with God. I truly accepted Christ as my Saviour while sitting in an Arby’s restaurant with my pastor in August of 2002. Anyone who knew me at this time, I believe, would testify that the fruits of the Spirit began to show in my life.

Connie Richey
I was raised in a Christian home. My parents were both saved before I was born. I was in church every time the church doors were open from the day I was born. By the age of four, I had heard all of the Bible stories, and one day I asked my daddy how I could go to Heaven. We went to my room and knelt by my bed, and my daddy told me how to go to Heaven. I was saved that day and have never looked back.

My name is Andy Richey, missionary to East Africa. I work with Peter Morris, a veteran missionary of this field for eighteen years. Since working together, God has allowed us the blessing of starting many churches while working with national men. We have also held training seminars across Kenya. Those with whom we have worked are begging us to do more to train their people in biblical doctrine and church planting.
Our desire is to move forward in this work. Our plan is to start a pattern church, start a Bible college to train nationals, and then set up mobile training seminars to reach into rural areas and villages throughout East Africa. Though many churches have been started, much more needs to be done. This is a necessary progression to have any hope of fulfilling the Great Commission across this region!
This will take much work and sacrifice, which we are ready to do. We invite you to prayerfully consider partnering with us in this effort through prayer and finances. Please contact me if you would allow us the opportunity to share our burden and calling with you and your church.

  • Charles and Lindsey Osgood Prayer Letter: Training Faithful Men

    Charles and Lindsey Osgood Prayer Letter: Training Faithful MenThank you for your prayers and financial support!

    Furlough Meetings

    I thank the Lord for the opportunity I had to preach in four new churches in Illinois, Michigan, and Missouri during the final six weeks we were in the USA. What a blessing it was to see people faithfully serving the Lord in their “Jerusalem”! On October 24 in Valparaiso, Indiana, I was able to visit a young man named Brandon, who’d recently lost his job. He was very discouraged. After listening to his story, I was able to share the Gospel with him. He readily placed his faith in Christ for salvation! Please pray for Brandon to get in a good church and to grow in the Lord.

    Return to Ghana

    On November 6, our family returned to Ghana! What a blessing it is to be back home with the people God has called us to serve! We are adjusting to life with a newborn again. Please pray especially for Lindsey to have strength as she cares for our baby girl.
    Hyles-Anderson College of West Africa Graduation

    On November 13, we had a graduation service for four students who completed their training in our Bible college. Two of these men, Anthony and Sylvester, are Liberians. They have now headed back to Liberia to start a new church. Please pray for these two young men to have wisdom, strength, and protection as they look to start a church in the near future. I am excited to see how God will use these zealous young men!

    Converts

    In May, I was able to lead a university student named Seth Oppong to Christ. He came to church and followed the Lord in baptism. I have been in contact with him, and we have now started doing discipleship lessons. He has also gone soul winning with me. Please pray for Seth to grow and to become a preacher of the Gospel.

    Faithful Men Training Program

    One of my main roles here in Ghana is to lead our Faithful Men training program. We are very focused on training men to serve the Lord and to help them become committed and capable leaders who can train others also. We have added 3 men to our program in the last month. We have another 3 men who are looking to join our program very soon. This will put us at 24 men. This is a blessing—24 is the maximum capacity of our current dormitories! We have a vision to train many more servants of Christ; however, we will need to build more dormitories in order to expand our program. Please pray that God will provide for us to be able to house more men so that we can train them to serve the Lord. If you can partner with us to help meet this need, please let me know.

    In Christ,

    Charles, Lindsey, Josiah, and Lily Osgood
