We are very close to have all of our ongoing expenses. We are praying for God to put it on the hearts of churches to partner with us in the work in Togo. Our only ongoing need is another $250 to $500 per month to pay for our furlough trips to visit with family and our suppporting churches. We need churches that can give as little as $100 per month. Please call Ryan at 901-486-6558 to request more information about how a church can take the gospel to Togo!
If you would like to partner with us in the startup expenses for the Togo work, please let us know by sending your correspondence and funds to Holmes Road Church of Christ, 1187 East Holmes Road, Memphis, TN 38116. If sending checks, please put “Richardson mission” in the subject line.
Here is a list of start-up needs:
May 2012 – $7,000 for French language learning (already raised)
August 2012 – $15,000 for shipping of belongings to Togo
September 2012 – $7000 for travel to Togo ($3,000 raised)
September 2012 – $5000 for home improvements in Togo (functional kitchen, etc.)

Hey, this is a great way to do this with a fundraising page. The site looks great and I love the picture of the kids! Jonah’s smile warms my heart!
Ryan and family,
Your decision to go on a mission field is truly encouraging to me. It flood my memory of those past days and years we loaded up our u-haul from Memphis heading to help start a new church in Georgia. We ended up staying 13 years there preaching the gospel. The experience you all hopeful will have in Togo, I can only imagine will be magnified 100 time the joy we treasured!
My prayers are with you all!
