About Me

Field Director Rick Smith loves being a part of the missionary care team.  He especially enjoys coaching and encouraging fellow missionaries in hopes of offering practical assistance that will enhance their lives and ministries.  His wife, Vicki, invests her time in serving AMF women.  Both Rick and Vicki are certified PRO-D consultants able to provide leadership assessment services. 

The Smiths take great pleasure in hanging out with missionaries and their families.  They love seeing the diversity of gifts and abilities within the mission family being used for one central purpose:  offering people and communities grace and hope in Jesus Christ.  In their free time Rick and Vicki enjoy walking, antiquing, and visiting their four adult children and their families.

About Field Directors

We at AMF know that ministry is simultaneously fulfilling and taxing. Our field directors are dedicated to making missionaries’ work less difficult. With the assistance of experienced missionaries who serve as area coordinators, field directors provide the encouragement and support that enable missionaries to focus on the goal of introducing people to Christ and helping them follow Him more closely.

Some of the care that field directors give is in the form of visits and phone calls.  They also seek ways to pray for their missionaries. The needs of AMF ministries are vast and need to be taken to the number-one source of help and encouragement: our Lord.  Some of missionaries’ prayer needs are daily guidance in their ministries, family concerns, transitional concerns, and church concerns.
