Pastor Darrel Blankenship of Mississippi has served on the board of directors for over 10 years. He and his church are always ready to help out with our projects. He has been on mission trips to Mexico, Africa, The Phillipines, and Ukraine. Both of his associate pastors have traveled with us on various trips and many of his congregation members are sponsors of our orphanage projects. His church has our organization in their mission budget and sends us a generous gift each month.

Darrel and his wife, Sharon, are personal sponsors also. Darrel has been a long time friend of Dwain (longer than they want to admit!) and this ministry. They attended Bible College together in the early 70s and have been close friends through the years.

Darrel opens the doors of his church each year for Dwain to present the ministry's goals and report accomplishments in outreach. We are so thankful for Darrel and Sharon's friendship and support, as well as all our faithful supporters at Springs of Praise World Outreach Center.
