Meet
the Durenes ::
Missionaries to Thailand
The Durenes have just completed their third term in Thailand, and from
July 2007 - July 2008 will re-locate to the US for furlough. They
spent the last term in Chiangmai northern Thailand doing church
planting and leadership training with an emphasis on university
ministry. They were instrumental in starting a BA level Global
University branch in Chiangmai, helped launch several Thai young
people into full-time ministry, worked with many missions teams, help
develop the Thai Book of Hope, translated children's ministry
curriculum, filled in as pastors of a Thai AG church, served as
Thailand Field Country Moderator and served on several boards and
committees including the national AG Church Planting Committee.
Next term the Durenes plan to expand the Global University program
into a full time church planters school. Please pray for the planning
and implementation of this program, and pray for those young people
with a call to full time ministry who will become their first
students. Please pray also for their itineration, for financial and
prayer provision for the coming term. Finally, please continue to pray
for a great move of the Lord in this nation where 99% do not know
Christ's salvation.
The Durenes will return to Thailand as "empty-nesters." Krista is
married to Aaron Smith and lives and works in Minnesota. Jeris and
Jocelyn are attending Evangel University in Springfield, MO. Jeris is
a Math & Physics major and Jocelyn is majoring in Art.
Thank you for praying for these MK's as well.
