Hi this is Bonny West. I am looking for Dr. Robert Myers. Do you know where I can get in touch with him?
Thank you
Hi Bonny, You may connect with Dr. Myers through DOOR International: [email protected].
Having been the home church of Mike and Linda Buus when they began DOOR and making a decision to adopt the deaf as our first unreached people group, thanks to Mike’s influence, I can say it has been the joy of my 16 years at missions pastor to watch this ministry unfold. Watching Mike pass the baton to Rob Myers has been remarkably smooth and an answer to prayer. Can’t say enough good about both of these men and their wives.
