PEGGY ETHERIDGE
Chairman of the Board of Directors

Peggy has been involved in local and foreign missions since she took her first mission trip to Mexico in 1983. Upon returning to the United States, Peggy and her husband, Ray, realized they had left part of themselves with the Mexican pastors, their families, and their congregations. Peggy returned to Mexico in both 1985 and 1987. In 1988, she and Ray established Missions International, Inc., an international mission board and Mexican pastoral organization. The Etheridges continued to travel to Mexico multiple times each year to participate in church planting, construction work, children's ministries, evangelism, and discipleship events.

Peggy, a native of Homer, GA, attended the University of Georgia in Athens. She also completed programs of study from Business College in Atlanta. Peggy is presently an active member of Lavonia First Baptist Church where she has served on the Hispanic Missions Committee and Missions Committee. Her lifetime love for missions is the reason she now serves on the Board of Advance Global Coaching.
