Duane Anderson

Duane grew up on a farm/ranch in western Nebraska.  Even though he went to church with his family, he didn't understand the gospel.  While attending the University of Nebraska someone shared the gospel with him and he placed his faith in Christ.  After graduating with a degree in Animal Science he returned home to work in a partnership with his dad.  However, Duane sensed a call from the Lord to enter full-time ministry.  He joined the staff of Campus Crusade for Christ (now called "Cru") and served in campus ministries in Texas for several years.  Duane then sensed the Lord's call to the mission field.  He went to southern Africa to minister to the Tswana people in 1978 and that's where he got to know his wife, Bonnie.  When he returned to the US they were married and he completed his theology degree at Dallas Theological Seminary.  They then returned to Africa where Duane taught for several years at the Theological College of Central Africa in Ndola, Zambia .  After they returned to the US Duane served 27 years in pastoral ministry in the Stevensville area.  While Duane was pastor of Lakeshore Baptist Church he became friends with Pastor Jamie Maxim, who was pastoring Harvest Bible Chapel.  When the two churches decided to merge and become Harvest Lakeshore, Duane retired from full-time pastoral ministry.  He and Bonnie have continued to be very involved in the ministry of HL.  Duane and Bonnie have two grown children and two granddaughters.
