Rich Desmond

Elder

Rich began attending OBBC in 1976. Over a period of time, Rich and his wife Linda began to sense their need for the Savior. Eventually, they ended up accepting the Lord at the same time through different means. Shortly after that, they were baptized together and became members. They have been at OBBC ever since.

Rich began serving as an elder in 1984. In 2002, OBBC commissioned Rich as a missionary to professional truck drivers. Currently, that ministry is through TFC Global, where Rich’s work covers an area stretching from New Jersey to Maine. See the ministry’s website here at www.TFCGlobal.org.

In his spare time, Rich enjoys the Jersey Shore with his family, traveling anytime–anywhere, Barbecues, and (really) Hot Sauce!
