Her experiences in life have solidified her faith in God and fuel her undying desire to pursue Him and His ultimate purpose for her life. Her greatest desire is to lead others to the Most Holy Place where they can experience God for themselves and to find that intimacy with Him that would change their lives forever. She endeavors to live out loud Isaiah 61:1 paraphrased “…to bring good news to the poor; to comfort the brokenhearted; to announce that captives will be released and prisoners will be free; to tell those who mourn that the time of the Lord’s favour has come and that God will give them beauty for ashes, joy instead of mourning and praise instead of despair.” Amen

Susan is the wife of Curtis Richardson. They have one son, Rian C Richardson and they now reside in the incomparably beautiful island of Anguilla, BWIs.
