Danny & Vera Kuranji, serving in Novi Sad, Serbia
Danny and Vera were both born, raised, and married in Serbia. During their first year of marriage, they immigrated to Canada; all four of their children are Canadian citizens. Sara and Tamara live in Canada with their families, and Filip and Amenda live in Serbia with their families.
Although Danny and Vera were raised as Christians, they experienced a spiritual renewal during their first years living in Canada. During this time, they felt God calling them to return to their homeland to share the Gospel. They left their business in Canada behind and returned to Serbia in 1986.
The fruit of the Kuranjis’ ministry is bountiful. They have led refugees, people living in poverty, and those without hope to Jesus. Their church plant, Christian Fellowship, has birthed other daughter churches.
They also minister to the terminally ill and their families, a ministry that has opened many opportunities to touch individuals and families. The Kuranjis also run successful rehab centres for men and women addicted to drugs.
What the Kuranjis love most about being international workers is seeing lives changed; a ministry life excites them despite any challenges they might face. Although there are difficulties, the price they pay seems so small compared to the final results: making a difference.
