In February, 2026, Pastor and Sister Riggen traveled to Cape Town, South Africa to join the Jessie Stewart family for a doctrinal conference. Approximately 125 pastors and wives (most of them Trinitarians) attended the conference. The reception to the message was tremendous!

On the afternoon of the first day, as Pastor Riggen taught on the necessity of baptism in Jesus’ name, the room erupted with worship. Many of the people were shouting, “Let’s do it now! Baptize us now!” Unfortunately, there was no where available at that time to do so. The team promised thewater would be ready the following day, and it was.

On the second day, Pastor Riggen taught on the Oneness of God. Again, the people received itgladly. At the conclusion of that session, a little more than 30 pastors and/or wives were baptized!

Interestingly, the man who organized this meeting testified of his own conversion some years prior.He stated that he had attended one of Pastor Riggen’s doctrinal conferences in Zimbabwe about adecade ago. He rejected the teaching, but determined to study the Scripture to prove PastorRiggen wrong. Instead, he was convicted in his heart and convinced of the truth. He foundsomeone to baptize him in Jesus’ name and began pursuing truth. After moving to Cape Town, hewas able to contact Pastor Riggen, who put him in touch with Missionary Stewart. Brother Stewartspoke to him about helping us put together a doctrinal conference in Cape Town and the rest, asthey say, is history. It’s amazing the oft-repeated long-term affects of these doctrinal conferences!

That Sunday, Pastor Riggen preached at the church pastored by Brother Stewart in Johannesburg,South Africa. Two women were baptized in Jesus’ name, including one who is 86 years old! Manywere in the altar seeking the Holy Ghost. It is thrilling to see how God is using the Stewart family inbuilding a church in this city of over 6.5 million people!

The work of God continues to expand throughout the Republic of South Africa and across theAfrican continent. To God be the glory!

YOU ARE INVITED!

As mentioned in our previous newsletter, Pastor Riggen, president and founder of A2Z Missions, has announced that on April 14, 2026, he will turn over the responsibility for the church he currently pastors to Brother Jared Hilton. This action (along with Pastor Riggen’s 30th Pastoral Anniversary) will be celebrated with a series of services June 3-7, 2026. Enclosed with this newsletter, you will find a flyer with more details about these services.

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 Pastor and Sister Riggen and they desire your prayers as they make this step of faith.

YOUR HELP IS DESPERATELY NEEDED!

For the past few years, financial support for A2Z Missions has been declining. This is due in partto 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. Each conference costs around $10,000 US dollars — not counting Pastor Riggen’s personal travel and other expenses. Without your continued support, reaching into these new territories will simply not be possible.

We know many worth while 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. Checks can be sent to A2Z Missions, 2307 W. Cothrell Street, Olathe, KS 66061, or through the I AM Foundation.

Please note: Although Missionary Stewart and Pastor Riggen work closely together, they each have separate ministries, and funds are used for different purposes. A2Z Missionsis responsible for 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 the continued education of the pastors who accept the truth. Your continued support of BOTH ministries helps us reach the continent of Africa—and the world! We humbly ask you to consider inviting these men to share their burden with your congregation and to present the various works with which they are involved.

THANK YOU for your prayers, contributions, and verbal support! We deeply appreciate each of you!
