About the Ministry
A pastor who serves from the field — not from a distance.
Bible Without Pages exists because missionaries deserve more than a prayer email. They deserve presence, companionship, and someone who understands.
The Founder
Christie Richardson
Christie is a missionary, ordained pastor, and chaplain — and the founder of In the Field Media, the nonprofit behind this ministry. With a Doctorate in Law & Policy, a Master of Divinity, and years of service in the U.S. Navy and Georgia Air National Guard, she brings a unique combination of academic rigor, spiritual depth, and practical mission experience.
She has served in Haiti, Kenya, Greece, and Albania — working with communities, local leaders, and fellow missionaries. She knows what it feels like to be far from home, carrying a calling that costs everything. And she knows what it means to need someone who will simply sit with you in the hard places.
Now based in Vlorë, Albania, Christie offers pastoral care to missionaries serving across regions — providing spiritual companionship, crisis chaplaincy, and the kind of soul care that comes from someone who lives in the field alongside you.
The Why
Because the ones who pour out need someone to pour into them.
Missionaries are sent with prayers and support — but once they arrive on the field, the spiritual, emotional, and relational toll can be staggering. Cultural isolation, spiritual warfare, family strain, and the relentless demands of ministry take a quiet, cumulative toll.
Most missionaries don't leave the field because the work is too hard. They leave because they're too depleted to continue. Pastoral care changes that equation.
This ministry exists to be the quiet, faithful presence that says: I see you. I hear you. You are not forgotten. And you don't have to carry this alone.
Our Values
How we show up.
We don't offer a curriculum. We offer ourselves — present, listening, and faithful.
What missionaries share stays between us. Trust is the foundation of every pastoral relationship.
Our care is grounded in God's Word — not pop psychology, not self-help, but the living truth of Scripture.
We serve from the field, not from a desk. We understand the weight because we carry it too.
