Carl and Debbie Peklenk - Krasnodar, Russia

Carl and Debbie were blessed by growing up in Christian homes. As their marriage grew, so did their spiritual, academic, and practical knowledge. Their varied work backgrounds, education, and short-term missions trips along with service in many areas of the local church ministry prepared them for a full-time career ministry in missions. After Carl was ordained, they began their ministry in Russia.

They have served a church-planting team in the Krasnodar region and are involved in training students in church planting at the Biblical Leadership Training Center. Carl serves on the leadership team and oversees and coordinates discipleship programs for both students and staff. He also teaches theology, hermeneutics, and Bible.

Debbie has been involved in administration and finances and has had influence in discipling both staff and students. Now, however, she finds her main role as that of Mom, as Carl and Debbie adopted two children while they have been serving in Russia.
