For I am God, and there is no other.”

About us

Hi! We (Elijah & Jessica Ridgley and our three kids: Paige, Asher, and Reese) have been serving in Thailand since 2007 with a desire to be a reflection of Jesus through all that we do while we are humbly aware of this fact:
“I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.” – John 15:5 ESV
Currently we are working in a couple capacities, Jessica as a teacher in a Christian school that builds up students and also supports and enables missionary families to be able to stay on the mission field, and Elijah as an entrepreneur building a business that enables him to share the light of Christ in an organic way as he comes into contact with both expats and locals in the community. Come get to know us and our hearts.

What We’re Up To
Elijah & Jessica have been working in education and the marketplace in Chiang Mai, Thailand since 2007. Starting in Aug 2024 Jessica will be teaching at Grace International School, a school that serves to support Christian missionary families that serve in Thailand and surrounding countries in South-East Asia. Elijah, growing up as a missionary kid in Thailand and Laos, has been venturing to serve the foreign and national community through several business ventures since they came back to Thailand as a couple.

March 2025 Update
The new year has been eye-opening and a wonderful journey with God. We have gained financial supporters this year, bringing us up to a sixth of our goal! This is huge because in September, just six months ago, we were at less than 1% of our goal. Praise God!...
