“Go and make disciples of all nations…”
One of the most important values of WestRidge is our mission to the unsaved. It begins in our own community, and spreads throughout the world.
The WestRidge congregation is active in supporting three missions with our finances and with our prayers. These missionaries are located in three countries—Swaziland, Guyana, and United States.
Fielden and Janet Allison
Africa
Fielden and Janet Allison have been missionaries in Africa since 1972.
For many years they worked on Mt. Elgon in northwest Kenya. Recently they relocated to Swaziland in South Africa. This will be their home base as they work with the local Christian school and travel all over the continent of Africa to conduct marriage retreats and seminars. Their extensive education, experience, and training have given them the ability and opportunity to teach and train local couples in God’s plan for marriage. Their goal is also to teach the material to local couples who will in turn be able to counsel those in their own cultural locations.

Wayne Pruette
Guyana, South America
Wayne Pruette has worked in Guyana, South America, for many years. Though some of his evangelistic efforts are aimed toward the larger, urban areas of Guyana, Wayne usually works in the rural villages and travels inland deep into the jungle to bring the gospel to the native south Americans, known as “Amer-Indians”.
Wayne has planted many congregations all over the country of Guyana and the neighboring country of Suriname. In addition, he oversees two preacher training programs, one in Springlands, Guyana, and the other in Apoera, Suriname. Several times each year Wayne leads ten to twenty people from the U.S. to these two countries on evangelistic campaigns.
WOLFLIFE Campus Ministry

WOLFLIFE is a ministry located on the campus of Arkansas State University in Jonesboro, Arkansas.
Currently directed by Chris Buxton, this ministry is dedicated to helping college students follow Christ and mature spiritually as they connect with other Christians on campus.

Additional Missions
WestRidge is also involved with mission work in India through members Wayne and Hilda Davis, who are long-time missionaries to that country.
River City Ministry, located in Little Rock, Arkansas is another mission area in which we are associated through former members Chase and Briana Froud, who began their work there in May, 2011.
These two families are partially funded privately by individuals in the congregation, and are aided by many more through prayer.
