Children's Evangelists
|
Doug and Darla Kearce are full-time Commissioned Evangelists in the Church of the Nazarene. Their ministry celebrating over 30 years has taken them to 38 states, from transient farm worker camps to inner city sidewalks. Before entering itinerant evangelism, they ministered to children in traditional and nontraditional settings, always searching for children who do not come through the doors of our churches, such as foster children in group homes and children of homeless families. Home for the Kearce’s is the little community of Lafayette Tennessee, 50 miles northeast of Nashville.
