Mission Website:
Dan and Renee have both lived in Minnesota for most of their lives. Dan had lived in the western suburbs of Minnesota and Renee in the Brainerd area until she attended Crown College. She then began attending Cavalry Memorial Church where Dan and Renee later met through the Awana program. Dan graduated with a B.S. in Computer Science from North Dakota State University in 1980 and Renee graduated with a B.S. in Christian Education from St. Paul Bible College (Crown College) in 1987. Dan and Renee were married at Calvary Memorial on April 13, 1991. Dan is Dave Harding’s brother, who has attended Calvary for many years.
In 2001, God began working in various ways to draw Dan to use his skills in computer programming for missions. After much searching, God led to Missionary Tech Team. TECH provides technical expertise to other missionaries, mission organizations and churches. Dan has been working on 3 separate programming projects since joining TECH in January 2003. The first is a donor software package (CMS), to provide donor tracking abilities to missions for a much more reasonable cost than is available retail. Second is a missionary information package (MICAH) that is browser based, to manage all the unique information that mission organizations have. Third is a recordkeeping program (ARK) (began by Dan many years before joining TECH) to aid secretaries at churches using the Awana program with the many facets of paperwork and awards necessary to have a successful program.
Dan and Renee have seven children, Maria (1992), Jonathan (1994), Ruth (1996), Bethany (1998), Grace (2000), Sarah (2001) and Philip 2003).

Norm and Raylyn grew up in homes where the Lord was put first. As youngsters, they were both involved in Calvary Memorial's youth group. After high school graduation they both attended Oak Hills Bible Institute and eventually decided that they wanted to serve the Lord together.
They were married September 8, 1967 in Calvary Memorial Church. They continued to be very involved with all aspects of Calvary. Norm and Raylyn have two grown children, Angela and Aaron.
In 1985, after serving faithfully at Calvary for many years, the Lord gave them the opportunity to work with "Chapel Crusaders Mission" in Florida. Then in 1992, they formed "Missionary Service and Supply, Inc.", where they could supply the needs of missionaries on a full time basis. They ship supplies mainly to Jamaica, but have also shipped to the Caribbean, Haiti, Philippines, the Ukraine, Africa and even the U. S. Their most pressing needs are for funds to cover shipping costs and storage space. Norm says, "If there is a need, with God's leading we will try to fill it."
