More Than Conquerors in Cultural Clashes

Rick Deighton was a bi-vocational missionary who worked lighting business between mission trips to former Soviet Union nations. Rick’s wife, Della, was a co-owner of their business and was treasurer for both their business and their ministry. With Rick, she was also co-founder of Alpine Christian Mission and Overseas Outreach. Rick and Della are co-workers with Victor and Evelyn Knowles as Northwest representatives of Peace On Earth Ministries, and Rick is an associate evangelist with Reggie Thomas (White Fields Overseas Evangelism). Rick is a graduate of Boise Bible College and later did post-graduate study at Ozark Christian College in mission strategy, expository and evangelistic preaching, personal evangelism, philosophy, and writing techniques. Rick’s articles, tracts, booklets and books have been published in English, German, Korean, Georgian and Russian. Rick and Della have sold Deighton Lighting and retired from the lighting business in order to devote more time to both vital ministries – Overseas Outreach and Northwest Science Museum.
