In September, 2025, Missionary Jessie Stewart celebrated his sixth year of serving as a missionary in conjunction with A2Z Missions and his fifth year of service on the continent of Africa. He also dedicated the beautiful building he’s now using to raise up a church in Johannesburg, South Africa.
A number of ministers (and their families) from the United States joined in the celebration. There was also a good representation of pastors from other countries present as well.
The services were powerful with a notable touch of God. Best of all, a number of people were born again in obedience to Acts 2:38!
We congratulate Brother and Sister Stewart for their faithful labor in God’s Kingdom. The work of A2Z would not be where it is today without their help!

THANK YOU for your prayers, contributions, and verbal support! We deeply appreciate each of you!
The time for change has come. Pastor Riggen, president and founder of A2Z Missions, has announced that he will turn over the responsibility for the church he currently pastors to Brother Jared Hilton. Brother Hilton was three years old when Pastor Riggen first moved to Olathe, Kansas, and has been with him throughout nearly his entire 30-year pastorate there. (He spent one year working as youth pastor at Heritage Pentecostal Church in Colorado Springs, Colorado.) On June 3-7, 2026, the Truth Church of Olathe will celebrate both Pastor Riggen’s transition to “Bishop” and the installation of Brother Hilton as pastor.
Making this change will allow Pastor Riggen to be more involved in the work of Africa while also granting him more liberty to preach and teach across the United States. By the time this transition takes place, Pastor Riggen will have been involved in full-time ministry for forty-three years. Forty-one of those years have been serving as pastor in Texas, Colorado, Mississippi, and Kansas. This is a major change for the Riggen’s and they desire your prayers as they make this step of faith.
SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT
For the past few years, support for A2Z Missions has been declining. This is due in part to our limited ability to travel and, therefore, conduct the much-needed doctrinal conferences. With Pastor Riggen’s transition into a full-time missionary/evangelist, your support is needed more than ever.
We have long-standing requests from a number of countries to come and teach this Apostolic Message. A2Z would LOVE to conduct more doctrinal conferences, but they are expensive. Without your continued support, reaching into these new territories will simply not be possible.
We know many worthwhile works are being done around the world. A2Z is unique in that we work directly with ministers who hold to false doctrine, leading them to the glorious truths of this Apostolic message. Therefore, we humbly ask for your consideration as we take the gospel to the nations of Africa.
Please note: Although Missionary Stewart and Pastor Riggen work closely together, they each have a separate ministry — and purpose. A2Z Missions is responsible for the doctrinal seminars aimed at converting
Trinitarian pastors. Bible Truth Ministries provides support to Missionary Stewart and his family, as well as
the costs associated with continued education of the pastors who accept and support the truth.
Your continued support of BOTH ministries helps us to reach the continent of Africa — and the world!
