David Page was pastor of several churches during college and seminary and several more years before entering the Navy chaplaincy. Then the Lord led him and his wife to the mission field in Morocco. There, he was pastor of an English-speaking church, along with several other duties. When they transferred to another country, he was treasurer and business manager for the countries of Ukraine, Moldova, and Belarus.
The day Gwyn Page married was when she became a preacher’s wife. Later, she became a mother and a chaplain’s wife. After her husband retired from the Navy, they were led to the mission field, where she caught a virus that left her with asthma and heart trouble. They were forced to transfer to the cooler climate of Ukraine. She taught ESL in both countries, using the Bible as a text.
They published another book, Life and Experiences of a Navy Chaplain and Family, which will help you find meaning in your walk with the Lord. The purpose of this journal is that it may serve as a record of feelings, hopes, experiences, etc. to be read in the future for inspiration and instruction.
“Go and Make Disciples of All Nations—Matthew 28:19” by Dave and Gwyn Page is in memory of their son, Carey Thomas Page, who was taken from us too early. He has gone on to be with the Lord after a critical auto accident.
