Rick was saved while in the Navy. After his
discharge, Rick attended
Clearwater
Christian
College
, where he met Robin. She is the youngest daughter of a
former missionary to
Mexico
. After graduation from
Rio Grande
Bible
Institute
Language
School
in August 1979, the Shields entered
Mexico
. Twenty-four years later, Rick and Robin are still
bouncing over the mountain roads of north-central
Mexico
.
They have established seven churches and started
several local missions. In 1986, they founded a
Bible Institute and
Training
Center
.
Many men and women have studied at the Instituto Biblico
Manantial and are now serving in local churches.
With the Lord moving upon Missionary Rick Shields' heart the Instituto Bíblico
Manantial was started in the town of San Antonio de las Alazanas, Coahuila, Mexico and has
grown into a great operation under the leadership of the Shields Family. There have
been many students graduating. Some are now serving as Pastors in Churches and some
are Pastor's wives and Bible Teachers. It is a full time school with students coming
from many parts of Mexico to study and prepare for the Lord's Service.
In recent years, Sister Robin
became aware of the plight of Christian children in the
Mexican public schools. As a result, the Shields started a
Christian school. The Shields are also blessed that their four
children have surrendered their lives for full-time service in
Mexico
.
This ministry continues to grow enormously
under the able leadership of Missionaries Rick & Robin Shields..
