Walter and Jeannette Ridgley
Serving with North Burma Christian Mission
The Ridgely’s have been serving in Southeast Asia (Thailand and Laos) under the auspices of North Burma Christian Mission for 46 years. They actually met in Thailand as Jeannette is the daughter of missionaries, Eugene and Helen Morse. They have just celebrated 42 years of marriage and have 4 children and 6 grandchildren.
Over the years, they have served in many different missionary roles including prison ministry, rural church planting, mobile leadership training programs and did creative access missions in a closed communist country drilling water wells and doing community development. They are currently involved in a Business as Missions (BAM) outreach platform to reach and disciple people in the workplace. They have a car business with 18 employees and through that business have led several people to Christ and started a house church. They are also working closely with two traditional growing church plants and have just recently started a third. Walter teaches regularly and preaches in these churches as well as serve in an advisory role. They also serve on the board of Child Evangelism Fellowship Thailand (CEF Thailand). This outreach regularly goes into Thai public schools and shares the Gospel, trains church volunteers for children’s programs and does various neighborhood outreaches and camps.
The Ridgley’s association with Brighton Christian church began in 1985 when they were planting a church in a remote part of Thailand. The former pastor of BCC (David McFadden) met the Ridgley’s at that time and shortly after started supporting their work. BCC has been a faithful supporter and partner of the Ridgley’s work for nearly 40 years. The Ridgley’s home church is First Christian Church, Yuma, Arizona.
