Rich Tozour grew up in a small town in Southern New Jersey. He trusted Jesus Christ as his Savior in February of 1977 after his dad explained the Gospel to him. He went on to earn a bachelor’s degree in Bible from Pensacola Christian College in Florida in 1989.
Rich met Angela Wessberg at college. She is the daughter of Lars & Phyllis Wessberg and grew up living in a trailer with her family in full-time evangelism. Rich traveled as a college representative for PCC from 1989-1992 (One year was spent among missionary schools all over the globe.). Rich and Angela were married in 1993 and moved to Kansas City where they joined Eagle Heights Baptist Church and taught in the church’s Christian school for a year.
The couple launched into full-time evangelism in 1994 and have ministered in local churches across America ever since.
The Tozours have three daughters, all born in Kansas City, Missouri. Briana, the firstborn, joined the family in May 1996. Heather was born in November 1999, and Lanae [la-NAY] in October 2010. All three girls grew up “on the road,” living in a fifth-wheel trailer, enjoying travel, photography, and sightseeing.
Briana earned a degree in graphic design from Pensacola Christian College and then married Andrew Spence.
Heather is currently the primary assistant in our children’s ministry, helping Angela in the work. Lanae is home-schooled. She loves art, crafts, and writing notes!
