Like many of the Awana missionaries, I do not personally know Rick and Fairy. That is one of the main reasons for these blog posts on Mondays, so we can all get to know those who are serving God full-time as missionaries for Awana.
Some people may recognize his wife’s name, Fairy Hattan, she developed record keeping forms for Sparks which can be found on CommanderBill.net (in the Sparks area) and on their ministry website noted below.
As I always do, I asked Rick some questions and below are his responses. My prayer is that this will help you get to know him, his family and ministry a little bit better:
