Rick & Jeaneth Maxwell

Executive Director
ACTION Canada

Born in Colombia, South America, to missionary parents, Rick grew up in Canada, near Prairie College, the alma mater of Doug Nichols, founder of ACTION International Ministries. Born in Ecuador to Quichua-Spanish parents, Jeaneth saw the Gospel of Jesus Christ change her father’s life. Her parents helped start four churches.

Through a series of events, God led them together to serve him. Their marriage theme was “Two are better than one.” In the course of time, God gave them 3 children. They have served together as missionaries in Mexico and Ecuador, as well as done rep work for ACTION in Canada. Rick, Jeaneth, and family are glad to be part of God’s global outreach in search of lost sheep who would become true worshippers.

Relationship, discipleship, and stewardship capture the essence of three of God’s great commands, the Great Commandment, the Great Commission, and the Great Creation Mandate—Genesis 1:28 “Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.”

The Maxwells love to encourage everyone to connect with God and with others, with the goal of seeing more people become followers of Christ who steward their lives and resources, so that more and more can experience God’s wonderful kingdom and righteousness.
