Our Story Joan Richards

We live in a time when politicians, media and politically correct activists are moving us towards the secularisation of our society and the marginalisation of Christian values. In such a society Christian values have no relevance to daily living. At such a time we give testimony to the power and relevance of Jesus Christ throughout the ups and downs of 55 years of married life. The message of this book is that when we depend completely on God and seek to follow Him wholeheartedly amazing things will result. Many examples are given from our experiences of living in three very different continents. Mike and Joan met while studying pharmacy at the School of Pharmacy, University of London. After experience of hospital pharmacy, National Service for Mike with the 16th Independent Parachute Brigade, the birth of their first son Peter, Bible School, Missionary and Linguistic Training, Orientation and the birth of their second son Paul in Singapore, they served with the Overseas Missionary Fellowship (OMF) at Manorom Christian Hospital Thailand, where Ann was born. After completing a PhD while on leave of absence from OMF, and the birth of Rose in Bristol, they returned to Bangkok, where Megan was born. How did all this happen? What happened next? We invite you to read this book to find the answers!
