Daniel and Christine Grings
Democratic Republic of Congo
In 1964, through a terrible rebellion experience in Zaire as a missionary kid, I came to realize my need for a Savior. Up until that point I had thought that I was a pretty good kid. After seeing rebel soldiers and hearing how they killed so many people including my aunt, I realized I needed Christ. That night, my Mother took me through the Romans Road and I trusted Him. In 1970, at Grace Baptist Church in Twin Falls, Idaho God spoke to me through the Pastor and I gave my life to the Lord for whatever He would have for me. I was burdened by God for Zaire in 1977 and so in 1979 I went to Denver Bible College to prepare for full time missionary service. I met my wife, Chris, there and we have served in Zaire since August of 1983.
