Global Missions has always been on my heart.
I was blessed with 2 amazing children, daughter Chirstina and son Steven, and they are my best friends! Again, I was blessed with a career in nursing that has lasted for over 40 years.
I prayed about mission service for approximately 25 years. When my children became adults, as I continued to pray about serving on the global mission field in any capacity, my prayers were answered. While visiting a hospital, Twin Cities Medical Center in San Luis Obispo, I met an amazing nurse named Carol Walker and this is where my mission journey began. She introduced me to His Healing Hands and I have been so blessed ever since! I went on my first trip to Peru in 2009 and have been honored and privileged to travel and serve with them every year since (except for 2020).
I am a living testimony to Psalm 46-10-be still and know that He is God!
Duane is retired from the wine industry. As he read through the New Testament the words of the greatest winemaker ever, the words of his King and Lord, spoke to him. He obeyed Him to go to the ends of the Earth, to all nations, and to preach the Gospel to all creation. When he went to these places around the world he found people who were made in the image of God to serve, minister to, and to share the good news of Jesus Christ. There he was able to do the good works the God had made for him beforehand that gave him great joy. Duane invites you to come on a trip to share in the joy that God gives in serving Him.
