Duane Blue

Blue has been a Mission Service Corps Volunteer since 1985. Unable to read, he left school in rebellion to be on his own. Motorcycles and drug activity consumed his life from age 16 to 33. Pride and grief caused him to hide from all his feelings of loneliness and guilt and he turned to drugs and games of lies. A school bus was his home and he traveled, hiding behind a “tough guy” front, when in reality he was very lonely. A man witnessed to him and introduced him to his family at Christmas. This was the first Christmas he had spent with others. Three month later, he turned his lonely life over to Jesus Christ. Jesus turned it into a “Life Abundant.” Blue always thought that freedom was doing whatever he wanted, But real freedom is being set free from sin and become a slave to righteous.

“Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.” Romans 6:18
