Dean-bio

Dean first experienced overseas mission work in 1992 when he went to Russia with the Advanced Training Institute of America. It was there that God enlarged his heart and led him to preach the gospel to the meek in heart. Many experiences, lessons, and fruit resulted in more than five years spent in Moscow serving in schools, orphanages, and local churches.

In the year 2000, God delivered into his care a beloved wife. Olga served and trained under IBLP and GGWO ministries from 1996 to 1998. She took classes and interpreted for Christian Life Bible College in Moscow for one year. Dean had known her for almost seven years before the Lord led them to be a life-long team. God has blessed them with five children.

The Kershner family came to work with Gospelink in 2002. Dean currently oversees the work of the national preachers in Malawi, Russia and Ukraine. In 2006, Dean organized and developed the Agricultural Training Center of Malawi. This center, located on Lake Malawi, trains the local people in agricultural and biblical principles, as well as providing food for hunger relief and funds for resources, such as bibles and church roofs.
