Our Story

Our Family

My name is Justin Risley. I am passionate about the mission of sharing Jesus Christ with the world. After 15 years in youth ministry, 6 years in law enforcement, and taking on the new ministry role of Lead Pastor, I felt led to write a book. Chasing Roller Coasters was my first published book and ended up being the first step towards starting Nations and Neighbors. For several years, “for nations and neighbors” was my personal mission statement. It’s a call to take the Gospel around the world starting on our own street.

After Chasing Roller Coasters was released, I knew I wanted to continue to produce materials to promote and encourage the pursuit of the Great Commission. With the help of my wife, we started Nations and Neighbors. It is now the banner under which all of our resources are written. We now have multiple books in print as well as study guides for individual, family, and small group use. We even have our own theme song “Warriors”thanks to the incredibly talented Anthony Gonzalez. I also have gotten the chance to speak at camps, retreats, and revivals. God has continually blessed me with these opportunities, and my prayer is that these resources will be an encouragement to you. Feel free to reach out to us for prayer, scheduling an event, or group rates on materials.

For Nations and Neighbors,
Justin Risley
