Deon & Rene Theunissen

*Career missionaries since 2014, now serving the Pnong Project.

We are the Theunissens, born and bred in South African. We have three happy God-fearing children, all with their own careers who live in South Africa. We were both called to be medical missionaries at a camp meeting in South Africa in 2008. We decided to wait until our children finished high school when we applied to AFM.

The Candy Bowl of Kindness

I continue to welcome visitors, to share what I have, and to say “I love you” even when words fail. The children come and go, leaving behind a trail of laughter and memories.
