Jason and Mary Ritchie have served as missionaries with Baptist International Missions, Inc. (BIMI) since 2008. Arriving in Mongolia, they learned the Khalkha Mongol language and planted Khan Uul Baptist Church. Over the years, additional churches were planted in Jargalant and Bayanzurkh, and several existing churches were guided toward becoming fully indigenous under their ministry.
During those years, a central focus of their work was discipling and mentoring national leadership. This emphasis led to the founding of Faith Baptist Bible College (FBBC) of Mongolia in 2018. FBBC continues to train Baptist pastors and their wives for effective ministry. In 2019, Faith Baptist Publishers was established to provide Biblical and educational resources for the college, outreach efforts, and Sunday school ministries.
From 2016 to 2025, Jason served as project manager for the Traditional Text Bible Translation (TTBT) project, which will be the first Mongolian Bible translated from the Received Text. In 2022, Jason began a new leadership role with BIMI as Pre field Ministries Director. Jason and Mary actively promote the need for missions and help prepare new servants for the field through Global Impact Rallies, CAMP BIMI, Candidate Schools, and Deputation.
The Ritchies remain grateful that they could be a part of God’s work in Mongolia and they look forward to continued service at the BIMI World Missions Center. In addition to overseeing the ministries under their care, they are busy raising their seven children and speaking at conferences, college campuses, and retreats across America.
