Beverly Richardson

Dr. Beverly Richardson

USA

Beverly's passion for providing Member Care was birthed out of her own personal journey and from three years of missionary service in Kazakhstan. As a result, she has a burning desire to see people set free from life-long bondages.


Beverly has a passion to help people be more effective in spreading the Gospel and to fulfill their calling to the fullest. It is her belief that in order to do this, one must become spiritually and emotionally healthy. With that purpose in mind, it is her desire to come alongside cross-cultural workers by providing counseling support and missionary care to equip the saints so they can be cared for spiritually and emotionally.

Coming to serve at The Well is the fulfillment of her passion and years of training and preparation for "such a time as this."

Beverly's passion is to minister to missionaries so that they can be healthier spiritually and emotionally, thus being able to be more effective.  Having experienced first-hand the stress of cross-cultural living, it is Beverly's desire to equip the saints so they will not stumble, but be strengthened in their body, soul, and spirit in order to bring many into the Kingdom of God.
