About Us

Rick and Angela are the founders of Triumphant Ministries International. Together, they have shared international ministry from the refugee camps of Nepal to the war zones of Burma, from the slums of Africa to the barrios of South America. After working in the nation of Myanmar they realized this was their passion. They incorporated their ministry in Myanmar, and this allowed them to purchase land near Kalaymyo, where they are building the Legacy Campus. This campus is home to the Legacy Learning Center where they are teaching at-risk girls in the trade of sewing and offer training in other vocations. Angie’s House is their orphan and Seniors outreach, touching the forgotten. The School of the Harvesters is their evangelistic training school. Teaching proven methods to reach their community, country and to cross borders to China, India, Bangladesh, Laos, and Thailand.

They also produce rice and other crops at their Jehovah Jireh Farms. The rice is for the feeding of orphans, to sell in the markets and to donate to evangelistic efforts.

Additionally, they oversee Harvest Churches, located across Myanmar. These are life giving churches have a mission’s mandate and focus on church planting.

Our Approach

Triumphant Ministries International has a 3D (Demonstrate, Develop and Distribute) approach to effectively sharing the love of Christ with the world.

Demonstrate

At Triumphant Ministries International, we Demonstrate the love of God through strategically planned evangelistic outreaches. We reach out to children, youth and adults alike, and always work in cooperation with local churches or bible schools. We also realize the importance of follow up with those new to the faith and we make every assurance that they continue to have guidance after we leave.

DEVELOP

We develop people’s lives through vocational training, spiritual formation, and life skills. This developmental process enables our students, orphans, and all who attend our classes to become more self-sufficient and take their places in society. Our philosophy is, “Give a person a fish, they eat for today – Teach a person to fish, they eat for a lifetime.” Our goal is for our students to become influential leaders in their communities.

DISTRIBUTE

The distribution of food and essentials is a key part of this ministry. We are thankful to have Jehovah Jireh Farms. Its ability to yield rice and other agricultural products gives us a huge advantage in meeting the needs of those we serve. We know that there are times when life happens and people need help. We are there to provide assistance and offer them hope.

Our Beliefs

The Bible is God’s Word and it is our handbook for life. It was written by human authors under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit. The Bible is truth without error because it is inspired by God. It is what we accept as our infallible guide in all matters pertaining to conduct and beliefs.

Jesus is the Son of God. He is coequal with the Father and the Holy Spirit. Jesus is our Savior; He was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, did mighty miracles, was crucified on a cross and died. After three days he arose from the dead to demonstrate His power over death, and He now sits at the right hand of God in Heaven. He will return someday to reign as King.

The Holy Spirit is coequal with the Father and His Son, Jesus. Jesus told those at his ascension that it was imperative that He leave and that another comes. He was speaking of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is our comforter, our strength and gives us the power to be witnesses for God. He gives Christians the understanding of spiritual truth and guidance in doing what is right.

John 14:16-17, 16:7-13
Acts 1:8
Galatians 5:25
Ephesians 1:13, 5:18
1 Corinthians 2:12, 3:16-17

Humans were created in the image of God to be like Him in character. People are the supreme object of God’s creation. People have been given a free will, which is the power of choice. Although every person has tremendous potential for good, all of us are born with or “marred by” an attitude of disobedience toward God, called sin. Sin separates us from God and causes many problems in our lives.

Genesis 1:26-27, 2:16-17
Deuteronomy 30:19-20
Psalm 8:3-6, 66:18
Isaiah 53:6, 59:1-2
Romans 3:23, 5:12-20

Salvation is God’s free gift to everyone and brings you into His family, no matter who you are, but you have to accept it. The Bible teaches that all have sinned. Sin is what separates us from God. We cannot make up for our sin by self improvement, religious rituals or good works. We are only forgiven from our sin and become a part of the family of God when we trust in Jesus Christ as God’s offer of forgiveness. When we turn from our self-ruled lives, repent of our wrong doing and ask Jesus to be the ruler of our hearts, then we are saved and in fellowship with God. Eternal life begins at the moment we receive Jesus Christ into our lives by faith.

People were created to exist forever. We will either exist eternally separated from God by sin or we will exist eternally with God through forgiveness and salvation. To be eternally separated from God is hell. To be eternally in union with Him is eternal life in Heaven. Heaven and hell are real places of eternal existence.

The Church is not a building, but believers who share the common bond of a relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. The scripture teaches there is one faith and one body made of many parts. The Church was created by God for the express purpose of sharing the good news of the Gospel, developing believers and worshiping God. If people are able they should be part of a local body of believers.

Our Team

Rick and Angela have shared international ministry from the refugee camps of Nepal, to the war zones of Burma. Since the beginning of their ministry they have successfully ministered to every race and major religious group. Here at home in the United States, they minister to the children in their local church, inmates, and to the homeless. Their real life experiences help them bring a balanced approach to ministry for young and old alike. Rick and Angela have become apathetic to religion and are more interested in each individual having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. This understanding helps them remain sensitive and flexible in communicating this gospel message.

Rick Johnson

At an early age Rick had his eyes towards the sky with a fondness for aviation. Rick was inspired by aviation after his Dad retired from the Air Force when he was very young. Following Rick’s graduation from high school he entered the United States Air Force and trained as a B-52 crew chief. The Air Force gave him his first real responsibilities of preparing a multi-million dollar aircraft to fly. The military provided him the opportunity to serve his country and to learn first-hand, real life applications of submission and authority. At the end of his duty Rick was honorably discharged from the Air Force and built on his training by obtaining two Federal Aviation Administration licenses. Rick worked as an aviation professional for over 30 years in the aerospace industry.

It didn’t take long for his fondness for aviation to pale in comparison to Rick’s desire for ministry. From his first experience at summer church camp he realized he had a call to minister, but did not know how to proceed. In fact, it wasn’t until twelve years later that Rick started to recognize God’s plan and purpose for his life. Rick’s calling led him to Tulsa and started him on a path of gaining valuable ministry experience.

Attending one of the most prolific churches in America for over twenty years afforded him the opportunity to grow and advance. Rick has not only been guided with sound teaching, but he also gained a wealth of practical knowledge as a volunteer. Rick has experience working in the areas of children’s ministry, altar care, prison ministry, singles ministry, urban bus ministry, and ministry to seniors. This hands-on method has been vital in his development as a minister. In addition to the practical ministry Rick also sought formal education. As an adult learner he graduated from Rhema Bible Training Center and then acquired a Bachelor of Science degree from Oral Roberts University. Rick graduated summa cum laude and was awarded “The Most Outstanding Student for Academic Achievement.” He believes the credit for this success goes to God and his very supportive wife, Angela.

These diverse and exceptional opportunities have brought Rick to the place he is today as the president and founder of Triumphant Ministries International. From its inception, Rick has traveled to fifteen countries to head outreaches and minister to every race and every major religious group. Ultimately, Rick has recognized his call to reach out to the generations and go to every nation.

Angela Johnson

Angela has always been the type of person to help someone in need. One summer she was asked by a friend to help at her church’s vacation bible school. It was during this bible school that she personally accepted Christ into her life. From that summer until now Angela has continued to help others; whether it’s a sick family member, volunteering at church or helping someone sell candy for their child’s school project.

Angela comes from a family of strong moral character. She was born in Wichita, Kansas and raised in northeastern Oklahoma. She learned her strong work ethic from her family’s clothing business. Angela learned the business from the ground up, working in every area from the stock room to managing her own store. Eventually, she left the family business to work for a large corporation. While working in corporate America she took advantage of volunteer opportunities and routinely acted as chairwoman responsible for planning events and activities for the employees and their families.

Unfortunately, the corporation suffered a reduction in workforce and Angela was one of the employees caught in the cutback. Again, showing her resilience, she attended cosmetology school during this time to retrain in another vocation. It was shortly after this period she met and married Rick.

After their marriage she attended and graduated from Bible College. Angela has actively shared in her husband’s ministry endeavors and has accompanied him wherever they have been invited to go. Angela enjoys working with children and has a special interest in orphans. One of her great strengths is her strong personal relationship style. One-on-one ministry is her favorite type of ministry, as she has stated that this gives people time to share their heart.

Among her many interests she loves animal of all kinds. She has a creative flair for decorating and takes great pleasure in finding deals. Angela is gifted in hospitality and enjoys opening her home to host guests.
