Dean Turner
Missions
Dean Turner has been working as a missionary since 1985, and his primary focus has been in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union.
Dean grew up in the Dallas area, giving his life to Jesus in the summer of 1975. He is the proud father of three sons, Gary, Clay, and Matthew. Matthew, the youngest, is still at home.
In 1982, the Lord called the Turners into ministry, specifically for work in Eastern Europe. They began to fulfill this call in March, 1985, when they moved to Germany. This began a series of travels in and out of Romania, and working with a local German church.
In 1991, they moved to Czechoslovakia. In 1994, Dean made his first trip to Siberia, Russia.
From 1995 until 1999, they were in Estonia, and traveled to Russia. In late 1999, they relocated back to the United States.
In 2000, they began ministry in the Ukraine, and in 2002, ministered in Poland and India. From 2005 to 2007, they lived and worked in Russia.
Recent missions include the Czech Republic, India, the Ukraine and Spain. Dean has a current project working in the Ukraine.
Antlers, OK and Christian Family Fellowship is their home base at the present time.
