WHO WE ARE
Rick & Stacey Perry - Missionary to Botswana, Africa
After years as missionaries to Botswana and moving to back to the United States to plant a church in the heart of New Haven, Connecticut, God has called and we have answered! We are currently on deputation, traveling to raise finances, to help us return to the beautiful country of Botswana, Africa.
Rick is a graduate of both Indiana Bible College and Great Lakes University, with a Bachelor of Science in Religious Studies. Stacey attended Texas Bible College before serving as the secretary of a growing church in upstate New York. Married in Botswana, Africa in 1994 they both draw from a life of ministry. Stacey grew up in a missionary’s home in Moshi, Tanzania (Tim & Carolyn Simoneaux) while Rick is the son of a church planter in Ohio, USA. (H.E. & Beverly Perry).
The Perrys helped establish and grow the Learning Centre School and the United Pentecostal Church of Botswana with Stacey’s parents in Botswana, Africa for many years. Eventually, God called them and their family to New Haven, CT to establish Haven of Hope. The Perrys are now returning to Botswana, Africa as fully appointed missionaries with the UPCI.
Nothing could ever truly share the complete beauty of Botswana, but these few images are a fantastic start. This place, these people, and the work the Lord is doing here has captured our hearts.
