Who are the Crandalls?

We are Bill and Karleen. Our children, Jennifer and Jonathan, are both married and out of college. We headed for language school when Jennifer was 6 months old. After finishing language school in 1983, we headed for Puerto Rico to work on our visas to enter the Dominican Republic. Jonathan was born during this time in Puerto Rico and was a month old when we made the move to Higüey, D.R.

Jonathan was married to Laura Warren July 31, 2004, and they graduated from Johnson Bible College in Knoxville, TN. Their first child, Javen, was born October 31, 2006. Jonathan has recently begun to work for a large church in the Knoxville area in the multimedia department. Click here to see some of the pictures.

Jennifer was married to Andrew Waldren on July 5, 2003, and they are graduates of Ozark Christian College in Joplin, MO. Their firstborn, Michael John, was born March 13, 2006. In 2007 they moved to Krasnador (southern Russia) to study Russian for missionary work. On November 19, 2007 Nathanael Lee joined the family.

Karleen is a native of Amarillo, Texas and PROUD OF IT! Now that her time of home schooling has ended, she has been helpful in organizing events for the four churches. She is active in counseling, teaching youth groups and volunteers at a Crisis Pregnancy Center. Add to that trying to keep things on an even keel with Bill’s crazy schedule.

Bill is from Washington, IL and has the hobby (vice) of “working” on computers and doing crazy things like this web site. You can see more of what he does ministry-wise by visiting his Personal Ministry Plan. He has his Bachelors in Missions from Midwest Christian College (now merged with Ozark) and his Masters in Missiology from Abilene Christian University.
