Duane Blue
Testimonial Speaker
Sunday, Sept. 9
At 11am
Duane Blue has been a Mission Service
Corps Volunteer since 1985
Unable to read, he left school in rebellion and rejection to be on his own. Motorcycles
and drug activity consumed his life from age 16 to 21. He insisted on his own way
with no regard for others, and verbally and mentally mistreated his mother who was a
single parent, until he found her a victim of suicide. Pride and grief caused him to hide
from all his feelings of loneliness and guilt and he turned to drugs and games of lies. A
school bus was his home and “tough guy” his image, until a man witnessed to him and
introduced him to his family at Christmas. One month later, he turned his lonely life over
to Jesus Christ. Jesus turned it into a “Life Abundant.”
