Our Guest Speakers
Dee Duke
In 1989 Dee Duke attended his first Pastors’ Prayer Summit and has since modeled and preached the importance of individual and corporate prayer. He has had the opportunity to speak throughout the United States as well as travel overseas to speak and participate in several Prayer Seminars and Prayer Walking Journeys. He has written articles for Moody Monthly, Leadership Journal and Pray! Magazine, and has written a book, entitled Prayer Quest. He also speaks on a daily radio program.
Dee says, “One of the major blessings I’ve known has been the very strong partnership Patty and I have had from day one as we worked and served together, and also as we included our kids in the ministry of the church.”
Dee loves life. He sets goals and accomplishes them. He trains leaders and releases them into ministry. He likes to fish, hunt, and take on new challenges. We have been blessed by his example and are honored to know him as a friend and partner in ministry. You are invited to join his walk of faith and love for God.
Jim Holm
Pastor Jim Holm and his wife, Dalene, have been in pastoral ministry for 30 years, including denominational leadership positions. After serving in the U.S. Army, Jim worked in the corporate world before stepping into his first ministry role in 1996. Over a ten-year period, Jim learned to blend spiritual leadership and organizational leadership as the Senior Pastor of New Hope Foursquare Church in Salem, Oregon.
He also served as District Missions Representative during that time. Denominational restructuring resulted in Jim serving as an Assistant District Supervisor over churches in Oregon, Alaska and a portion of Washington. After seven years in that role, Jim again returned to local church leadership as Senior Pastor in Redmond, Oregon. As a strong advocate for Compassion First, a missions organization caring for girls impacted by sex trafficking in Indonesia, Jim now serves to connect churches with the work of Compassion First Ministry. Jim is a friend of Christian Renewal Center, having been a past teacher and board member. He and his wife of 45 years live in nearby Salem, Oregon.
Wes Daughenbaugh
Wes Daughenbaugh has served in full-time ministry for over fifty-three years, seven as an associate pastor, eighteen as a senior pastor and twenty-eight years as a traveling teacher/evangelist. Wes has been a spiritual father to many. He has preached in all fifty states and six foreign nations.
His books include: 21 Ways to Forgive, The Heart God Hears, and Great Lessons In Spiritual Leadership. He teaches the Biblical principles of true spiritual leadership, as opposed to secularized leadership. His goal is to help you become an expert in giving encouragement, and in making “Christ-like disciples” who become truly Christ-like in motive, attitude, faith mentality, loving obedience and anointing. He loves to train pastors how to keep their spirits under the influence of the Holy Spirit.
