Gordon and Ethlyn Richards                                                             
Instructors For
 Successful Marriage

 

Gordon was reared on the mission field by missionary parents and grandparents. Teaching has always been his first love. Even after he was ordained he always seemed to revert to a teaching ministry. Through many varied paths that God has allowed he and his  wife to travel, He has learned God’s ways of doing and being.

His teaching ministry has taken him to South Africa, Tanzania, Mexico, Botswana, Namibia, Romania and Malawi.  Gordon spent two and a half years in London and shared God’s love in various open doors the Lord gave opportunity.

Through all these years God has been abundantly faithful and merciful, teaching many things through the tough times as well as the good ones. Gordon and Ethlyn's prayer is they will always be teachable as try to share what God has given them to share.
