Earlier this year, on March 1, Darrell Wallace came aboard the WEI staff as Director of Teacher Recruitment and Training. This allowed Lee Allen to focus on maintaining the teaching website and raising funds to keep this global ministry growing.
Darrell has a passion for world missions. In fact, he is an avid WEI Internet teacher, and the WEI board saw in him the kind of man we needed to help share Lee Allen’s heavy load. From the beginning, Darrell has been a blessing to all of us.
Darrell and Robin began their lives together in 1980. They had known each other since they were teenagers riding the same school bus in Park City, Kentucky. When they married, they moved into an old five-room tenant house on his father’s farm. In 1983, they left the farm, and Darrell got a job in a factory while Robin stayed at home and cared for their infant daughter.
In 1987 Darrell enrolled in Sunset School of Preaching in Lubbock, Texas, now Sunset International Bible Institute. He says, “This changed the trajectory of our lives.” By the time he graduated from Sunset in 1989, he and Robin had two small children, a daughter and a son, and they moved back to Kentucky where Darrell preached for two congregations during the next five years.
In 1994, Sunset sent them to Athens, Greece where Darrell became an instructor at Athens International Bible Institute. Darrell says, “As God would have it, I served as Interim Director in addition to being an instructor for about one and a half years.”
Darrell and Robin have proved to be good parents. Darrell says, “Our daughter married a faithful Christian young man, a youth minister in Kentucky. Our son married a wonderful young Christian woman. We now have two grandchildren.
Darrell has served as elder, pulpit minister, and artist. (See his artwork at darrellwallaceart.com.) Darrell says, “My passion is to help those who do not know Jesus to know him who loved us and gave himself for us.” Please join us as we welcome Darrell and Robin with open arms.
