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.
