Chris and Paula Richardson were raised as missionary kids.  When they received their appointment as UPCI missionaries to Madagascar, they followed the footsteps of their parents, the Jerry Richardsons and the Don Clenneys.

Following their marriage and graduation from Texas Bible College, Chris  and Paula returned to Madagascar as AIMers.  Now under full appointment, Chris directs the Bible School & Pastoral School programs and also works closely with the national leadership of the United Pentecostal Church of Madagascar.  Paula is also involved in the Bible School and works with the national ladies ministries and manages the national printing department.

Richae and Jared are the fourth generation of Richardsons to live in Madagascar.  Richae was born in Madagascar while the Richardsons were on the AIM program.  Jared was born in St. Louis during their first deputation.

The Richardsons returned to the field late 2002 after two years of deputation.  They are continually thankful to all of their Partners In Missions who helped them be able to return to the field.   Sis. Paula is East Africa's representative to the Reaching Africa's Children committee.
