Duane & Bonnie Marburger
by Steve & Pam Chapman, Executive Director of MESF
Pam and I got to know Duane and Bonnie early on with UME. We teamed our first Weekend together in Iowa, Ill, in 2007. However, the most memorable Weekend was in 2010 in KL, Malaysia. We flew over with Harry and Char Knutsen and Duane and Bonnie. Duane and Bonnie shared a row on the airplane (many hours, I must add) with a very sick individual, and the sickness fully manifested itself in Duane and Bonnie right before the Weekend was to start. It was bad.....Real Bad. We had to have Pastor Sim and his wife, Joo San, fill in the best they could, as Pastor Sims had other obligations to fulfill. Bonnie and Duane spend the entire Weekend plus a few days locked in their room with only a Malaysian house doctor to help care for them. However, they did share; they also gave it to Char Knutsen. So, as the weekend went on, we all alternated between presenting as Pastor Sims and Char where we could—made for a memorable Team Weekend.
