Hometown Heroes – Christian mission in Central America

(and a bonus Love Story!)

Peter and Tyanne Jurka are Mark Webster’s guests on this week’s “Hometown Heroes” feature. The Jurkas are longtime Christian mission workers, serving in Central America. She is from western Pennsylvania, and he grew up in western New York. Their children and grandchildren are also part of their ongoing ministry.

Their story — in their personal lives and the ways they have served people in international mission — are fascinating and heartwarming.

A video highlighting the results of their life-enhancing work is available from StorehouseMission.org.
