Richard Green grew up in the church but took a detour in his faith journey in his teen and young adult years. Several people came into his life that inspired him to seek God and service, including an elderly woman, “Grandma,” who inspired him with an “impossible” dream to help an orphanage in Uganda. Living in the mission field now in Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada, with his family, Green believes that we all have a God-given purpose and he finds joy in serving. Green is featured on the March 2025 Adventist Journey magazine.
