EI PIONEER KEN DECKER
Ken Decker, life-long ambassador for Christ, was called home to God on August 21, 2010. The son of missionaries to Boliva, Ken and his wife Ruth devoted their lives to bringing the love of God to the peoples of South America.
Ken was God's chosen instrument in bringing Emmanuel International to Brazil. A friend of George Middleton--the founder of Emmanuel Relief and Rehabilitation International (ERRI) --Ken initiated the work in Brazil by sharing the philosophy of ERRI with a small group in Belo Horizonte. That focus continues today as ERRI seeks to provide ministry to communities by strengthening the local church in spiritual outreach, economic development, disaster relief and rehabilitation.
Ken continued to support the work, visiting teams, discussing strategies including the establishment of the Mission Emmanuel as a Brazilian mission agency. He was also the president of the ERRI International Council for several years. In honor of his service, his family, in conjuction Emmanuel International Mission, the US Affiliate of ERRI, have established a memorial fund to help continue the work in Brazil, focused primarily on the Amazon Basin.
