God has called Chris and Wendy England to “go” internationally and reach out to the lost through the love of Christ. In answering their call to missions, Chris and Wendy have been appointed by Global Partners as career missionaries to Croatia. When Chris was 18 years old, he recommitted his life to Christ at a holiness camp. Chris was called into the ministry two years later at the same camp. In 1992 he graduated from Oklahoma Wesleyan University with a B.S. degree in youth ministry. Since graduation, he has served as the youth pastor at Cedar Ridge Wesleyan in Enid, Oklahoma; Eastlawn Wesleyan in Indianapolis, Indiana; and Dayspring Christian Fellowship in New Braunfels, Texas. Wendy (Patterson) accepted Jesus into her heart at the age of nine. She completely surrendered her life to God when she was 20. Wendy earned her degree in elementary education from Oklahoma Wesleyan University. She has been involved with children, youth, and worship ministries. Chris and Wendy desire to see lives transformed by the power of God and then to see transformed lives grow to know and understand their own personal calls to minister. Chris and Wendy have two sons, Kyler (’99)and Caden (‘04)
