Jerry Childs

Ron and Jerry began their mission work in Nigeria in 1977. In 1991 they moved up to Niger Republic and started a national church there -- Eglise Vie Abondante. A team of missionaries was developed and they began planting churches, making disciples and training leaders who were formerly Muslims. There are now 70 churches, all cared for by national pastors. Ron and Jerry’s son, Neal, had served as overseer of the ministry from 2006 until 2018. Then a Nigérien leader took over as president.

Ron continued in ministry in Niger, serving the Jesus he so dearly loved, until the day he moved to heaven on August 28, 2021

Meanwhile Jerry continues to teach in the Bible Schools and churches throughout the country, encouraging pastors and leaders and mentoring missionaries.

There continues to be a strong emphasis in the work on discipling new converts, training leaders and establishing indigenous churches. In addition, primary schools, children’s discipleship homes, literacy training and assisting the poor are other ministries in this poorest of all nations on the earth.
