Rick Fox began in the Charismatic Movement in 1962 while attending an Episcopal church. He has been engaged in ministry leadership for more than five decades. Beginning in the 1970s as a teaching elder, he served on numerous ministry teams that ministered across the United States, Europe, and Israel, including teams led by international Bible teacher Derek Prince. Those formative years established a lifelong commitment to sound biblical teaching and meaningful interaction with leaders from many denominational and cultural backgrounds.

Rick also served on leadership teams that organized the 1975 Shepherd’s Conference, which gathered nearly 5,000 men from around the world, and the 1977 Charismatic Renewal Conference in Kansas City, which hosted approximately 50,000 believers over five days. In September 1978, he quietly withdrew from the Charismatic Movement due to concerns over leadership practices and their impact on the body of Christ.

Over the years, Rick’s work has focused on Yeshua (Jesus) rebuilding His church. His teaching emphasizes Divine Order and the sound doctrine of the original apostolic foundation. He believes we are fast approaching the “end of the times of the Gentiles,” and the Church is living in a transitional period — moving from a primarily Gentile expression toward the reconciliation of Jew and Gentile in Messiah through the Cross.

Rick’s current focus centers on rebuilding healthy leadership culture, restoring biblical patterns of collaboration and accountability, and guiding initiatives that bridge ministry and business with a shared emphasis on integrity, responsibility, and lasting impact. Whether working with ministry leaders, entrepreneurs, or collaborative teams, his aim remains consistent: to build what can endure beyond a single generation.

Business & Strategic Leadership Experience

In addition to ministry leadership, Rick has spent decades involved in entrepreneurial ventures, business development, and strategic advisory roles. His experience includes organizational turnarounds, long-term planning, regulatory and operational strategy, and guiding mission-driven enterprises from concept to execution. This dual background in ministry and business informs his practical, blueprint-oriented approach to leadership and sustainable growth.

Rick is a retired investment banker who served as a Registered Principal, Senior Vice President, and Director of Financial Services of a Wall Street firm. In 1979, he became a Certified Financial Planner and was tasked with developing his firm’s financial planning and asset management division. His primary expertise has been in restructuring troubled businesses and resolving distressed investments.

Rick’s education is in economics and business. Between college and graduate studies at an Ivy League institution, he was drafted into the U.S. Army in 1968 and served in the Chaplain Corps.
