ENGAGE THE GOSPEL
Join us in walking the narrow road with Jesus in a world that feels manufactured.
Meet Bruce and Gaynor
Bruce and Gaynor Richter have spent more than four decades walking together through life's highest peaks and deepest valleys. Married in 1980 in South Africa, they have since taken their journey from the chaos of Johannesburg's nightclub scene to a life transformed by the grace of Jesus Christ.
Their story is not one of perfection, but of redemption. Through seasons of brokenness, loss, failure, restoration, ministry, and renewed purpose, they have discovered firsthand that God's grace is greater than our greatest mistakes.
Bruce has served as lead pastor since 1992 in three thriving churches across South Africa. Today is the lead poster of Polson Community Church in Montana, while together Bruce and GAynor continue to encourage others through writing, speaking, discipleship, and Gospel-centered ministry. Their passion is simple: helping people encounter the life-changing message of Jesus and walk the narrow road of authentic faith in a manufactured world.
Their memoir, The Bouncer and The Butterfly, tells the remarkable true story of God's faithfulness through 46 years of marriage, Ministry, transformation, and unwavering grace.
Whether through books, sermons, conferences, or personal conversations, Bruce and Gaynor's desire is to point people beyond themselves—and toward the hope, freedom, and new life found in Christ alone.

A true story of brokenness, redemption, and the relentless grace of God
From the nightclubs and violence of 1980s Johannesburg to the transforming power of the Gospel, The Bouncer and the Butterfly is a raw and honest journey through love, failure, marriage, faith, and second chances. This is not a polished story about perfect people. It is the story of two ordinary lives rescued by an extraordinary Savior.
If you've ever wondered whether God can redeem the mistakes, pain, and detours of your past, this story is for you.
Because no one is beyond the reach of God's grace.

So thankful for this couple and the impact they have had on my life personally, as well as our church. Very few couples have what Bruce and Gaynor have in their life, ministry, and story. Their Ministry and mission together are phenomenal.
Bruce and Gaynor have a strong ability to correctly apply scripture to any question or problem we have ever asked. We have laid our hearts before them, and they have always honored our vulnerability while remaining direct and truthful.
