Rieger, Joshua & Gina

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 mission trips and in the Navy as a lay leader created in him a real passion for shepherding and church planting. This desire was cultivated and encouraged through seminary and several years of pastoral ministry.

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 Lord has fostered this in her elementary and preschool age teaching experiences, as well as through her experiences as a nursery coordinator.

The Riegers work with the Evangelical Presbyterian Church in England and Wales, planting churches in Hexham, England. They rejoice to see the Lord working 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.
