Rev. Ted and Rebecca Krey
Serving the Lord in the Latin America and Caribbean Region
Bio
Rev. Ted and Rebecca Krey have served in the Dominican Republic since 2009. Ted serves as the regional director for the Latin America and the Caribbean region of The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod (LCMS), which encompasses 22 countries in South and Central America and the Caribbean. He is privileged to oversee 45 missionaries planting churches in 10 countries. Hand in hand with church planting, he works to establish the formation of pastors and deaconesses in Latin America. Ted also works with partner churches to strengthen them in their church planting efforts and in various other ministry areas.
The LCMS Office of International Mission has worked in the Dominican Republic since 2005. As a result of what the Lord has been doing through His Gospel work, six missions have been established. Two Lutheran schools have been started, along with Good Shepherd Lutheran Homes which seeks to serve people with intellectual and physical disabilities throughout the country. A regional seminary established in 2017 serves over 120 men and women throughout Latin America in the formation of pastors and deaconesses.
Ted is a 2001 graduate of Concordia Theological Seminary, Fort Wayne. He previously served in Venezuela for 8 years before marrying Rebecca in 2008. Rebecca has a master’s degree in biochemistry. She previously served for two years as a long-term missionary in Slovakia. Ted and Rebecca enjoy spending time with their five beautiful children — Esther, Matthias, Natalia, Evangeline and Azariah.
Prayers
The Kreys write, “Pray that the Lord would send even more missionaries into the Harvest and prayerfully consider how you might serve or who you might encourage to serve. Give thanks with us for the churches being planted, the pastors and deaconesses being formed and pray for the Holy Spirit to continue to throw out the Gospel seed to an ever-expanding circle of hearers so that all might hear of our dear Lord Jesus and His death and resurrection for the forgiveness of sins.”
