Josh grew up in a pastor’s home and began to develop a heart for ministry early in his life. His experience on short-term missions trips and in the Navy as a lay leader created in him a real passion for shepherding and church planting. This desire was cultivated at Reformed Theological Seminary and through interning and pastoring at The First Presbyterian Church of Jackson, MS.

From a young age Gina wanted to go on the mission field. She has served in the church in various capacities, but found her heart drawn specifically to women and children. The last several years of her life have been devoted to teaching elementary and pre-school age students and working as the nursery coordinator at FPC Jackson.

The Riegers will work with the Evangelical Presbyterian Church in England and Wales, helping to plant churches in Northeast England. They look forward to seeing the Lord work in a country where the history of His work is long and glorious, but where there has not been a vibrant Reformed church in recent years.
