After years of struggling and feeling defeated and controlled by
homosexuality, Duan sought help from
Portland Fellowship (a sister ministry
of Mid-Valley Fellowship). Over the few years that followed, God began to
reveal Himself in a new way and brought healing to Duan's life and
relationships. The journey is not over, but there is a new hope that gives perspective.
Read Duan's
full story.
In 2006, Duan completed the Upper Room Intern Program at Portland
Fellowship. It is a 9-month program that provides skills and experiences to
work in or begin a ministry to those who struggle with homosexuality. After
much prayer and encouragement, Duan and Kendra Hanes embarked on establishing
Mid-Valley Fellowship to serve those struggling in the Central Willamette
Valley.
Duan has
spoken at churches, schools, small groups,
and met with Leadership Teams.

In the

last year and look to the future. Eighty people
joined us for the celebration and many took the next step of financially
partnering with Mid-Valley Fellowship. Overall, the evening was an exciting
and encouraging time for us.
