Introduction
Who are Paul and Rickie Clark?
 |
Paul grew up in Japan as a missionary kid (MK) in the early 1950s, the son of Martin and Evelyn Clark. He spent 3 years in the Army Special Forces (Green Berets), graduated from San Jose Bible College, now William Jessup University (B.A. 1967), Lincoln Christian Seminary (M.A., M.Div. 1983), and Trinity Evangelical Divinity School (D.Miss. 1985). Rickie grew up in California as a preacher's kid (P.K.), the daughter of Dennis and Effie Rickard. She graduated from San Jose Bible College (B.A. 1962). Interestingly, Dennis Rickard baptized Martin Clark in his first full-time ministry. Paul and Rickie ministered over 20 years in churches in Oregon, California, and Illinois before arriving in Japan in July of 1985. We have four children: Jennifer (Mrs. Chad) Huddleston (missionaries in Osaka, Japan ), Jocelyn (Mrs. Chris) Wolfe (forwarding agents for the Clarks and the Huddlestons and living in Columbia, MO), Jeremy (a graphic designer in San Francisco, CA), and Jonathan (married to Yuki and working in sales in Southern California)--and eleven grandchildren, Michaela, Benjamin, Elijah, Johanna and Ami Wolfe; Anika, Josiah, Caleb, Katia and Gideon Huddleston, and Sean Clark..
Chad and Jennifer lead a group of house churches called Be-One Church. Check out their website. |
