     Duane and Mary were in the pastoral ministry for seventeen years before moving into their present work as Christian Illusionists.  They attended Bible College in Northern Minnesota where Duane graduated with a degree in pastoral ministry.  He pastored the Community Bible Church in Presho, South Dakota, for about eight years and then pastored the Rimrock Evangelical Free Church in Rapid City, South Dakota for about nine years.

     When they came to believe the Lord was directing them into their present kind of work it was not an easy decision to leave the pastoral ministry behind.  The years they spent serving the church as pastor and wife were filled with blessings.

     However, they were confident God was leading them into something new and different.  Now they are especially grateful for the years of working in church leadership for they believe the experience gives them insight to the needs of the churches that use them today.  They believe their ministry as Christian Illusionists is stronger and better because of their solid foundation in the Word of God and "hands on" experience in the local church.

     Duane and Mary have done programs for large churches such as Saddleback Church in southern California, First Baptist Church in Anchorage, Alaska, and Grove City Church of the Nazarene in Columbus, Ohio.  They have worked in many small churches across America as well.  The size of the church is not their concern, they want to be where they can share the Word!

     Duane and Mary have been featured artists at many conferences for workers in children's ministry, conventions for children's pastors, regional and national Sunday School conventions, and conferences about evangelism and outreach.  Southwestern Baptist University in Fort Worth, Texas, used Duane to teach Homiletics classes from the perspective of an entertainer who is in ministry.

     When they are not on the road Duane and Mary faithfully attend their local church in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee.  The believe "who you are" is more important than "what you do."  Although many years of their lives have been spent as "show business" people, they are careful to maintain a number one commitment to the Lordship of Jesus Christ.
