Richard Thompson

Matthew 28:19, gives a command to,  “Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.  And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” 

Richard and Laura spent 24 years serving in the United States Army. Raising their four children and living in multiple locations across the US and in Europe, they built many relationships along the way. Discipleship became a big part of who they are and began in small group Bible studies. 

It was during Richard’s last deployment in 2017, when he was introduced to a discipleship class, Every Man A Warrior (EMAW), that changed his life. After that deployment, Richard was given a desire to disciple men, giving them the tools through EMAW to overcome strongholds, heal in relationships with spouse and children, and become disciple makers themselves. Richard and Laura believe the best way they can help women and families is to disciple men. Richard and Laura were invited to join TWR’s men’s ministry EMAW team in the fall of 2025 as the Texas state director in growing men’s discipleship across the state. They are committed to help men grow in their God given role as leaders. 

They now live in the Galveston, TX area and continue to disciple. Join their team to raise up and equip men to be the leaders God designed them to be.
