Richey and Keli Goodrich grew up an hour outside of Dallas, Texas. They both felt called to spread the saving glory of Jesus in missions from the time they were around 19 years old. Keli wanted to do this as a nurse. Richey wanted to do this as a pastor, church planter, and theological educator.

In 1999, they married with the goal of answering Christ’s call together. Keli eventually became a women’s health nurse practitioner and Richey an ordained pastor in the Presbyterian Church in America. In 2010 they moved to South Asia to train indigenous pastors and plant and pastor a church in a global city. They loved the ministry, but after almost six years on the field they were denied visas and it became clear God was calling them elsewhere.

God has now called Richey and Keli to Sydney, Australia, to help reach the many Asians studying and working in this global city. They are excited by the team’s vision to raise up Christian leaders for the unreached peoples throughout Asia. Richey will serve as one of the pastor’s at Harbour City Church and aid in the university ministry to international students. They are joined by their four children: Hadassah, Josiah, Hannah, and Jedidiah.
