RCI Ministry is the brainchild of Richard Fidge. The only son of missionary parents, Richard grew up in India and Pakistan and speaks several languages fluently. In the UK Richard has been a bi-vocational minister.
He has forged a successful secular career and been part of several leadership teams within the local church.
In 2001 Richard began to minister at the local detention centre in Harmondsworth. Most of the detainees here are classified as illegal immigrants. They include many who come from countries where it is not possible for them to hear the gospel clearly presented.
On that first occasion only a handful came to a personal faith in Jesus. The ministry work of the gospel has since expanded to include other prisons and detention facilities across the UK via in-person regular visits and video streamings.
Today, over 45,000 people have been ministered to with many who have made personal decisions to accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour. What is more, many of these believers have gone on to parts of the UK and various continents of the world as missionaries doing exploits in the name of The Lord and have kept in touch with Richard and the ministry.
From this small beginning, thousands have come to Christ and experienced healing and deliverance, After 14 years of fruitful work Richard is now able to give himself fully to the development of this ministry as a national organization throughout the UK. He has a growing team of volunteers who receive his personal training and mentoring.
Richard is an ordained minister licensed through ICC group of churches (http://www.cicinternational.org/). He is married to Theresa and they have two boys.
