Debbie and Norman, Matthew and Micah Rideout


Norman is a second generation missionary evangelist to Northern Thailand.  He has worked to plant churches and disciple leaders for the past 19 years. Raised in Thailand since 1958 with his missionary parents Ken and Ruth Rideout. After studying abroad and living in the U.S., Norman came back to Thailand with his wife Debbie in 1984 to continue in the ministry. Sons, Micah 18, Mathew 16, were both born and raised in Thailand.

Norman works with the Karen tribal people. Traditionally, the Karen practice animism and demon worship before conversion. Norman has formed teams of Karen tribal evangelists, who are planting churches and stirring revival among the existing ones. Norman and the teams regularly have opportunity to witness the power of the Holy Spirit in miraculous healings and conversions. The Karen believers in Northern Thailand now number over 600,000 with large numbers of new  conversions each year.

Our life vision is to continue to further the Kingdom as God leads our family in the future.
