Dallas and Anna Lee Ward
CTEN missionaries Dallas and Anna Lee Ward provide distance and in-the-field Biblical discipleship and crisis counseling to missionaries serving cross-culturally around the world, as well as to individuals and families in the USA.
They facilitate times of refreshing and crisis intervention at Selah House, a facility they established to provide missionary retreat housing and intensive marriage counseling for those in crisis in 2015.
There, missionaries or pastors are strengthened in their relationship with God, their spouse, family members, and mission team members, and are equipped to effectively disciple others.
Dallas and Anna Lee have served full-time in missions since 1999. They first served in foreign missions in Mexico, then in Trinidad & Tobago where they labored to establish a discipleship program and to train others to disciple new believers. They served as Biblical counselors in conjunction with Global Frontier Missions, preparing missionaries-in-training for assignments around the world. Biblical discipleship and mentoring encourage individuals to grow to maturity in Christ, while also equipping them to more effectively reach and genuinely love others.
In their work with marriage and families in crisis, Dallas and Anna Lee draw from their years of married life since 1986. They shared many years of intensive parenting experience gained while providing therapeutic foster care in their home to more than thirty children, who had been removed from families in crisis.
Dallas and Anna Lee have completed training in various counseling methods and are certified marriage facilitators. They have counseled and mentored numerous individuals, married couples, and families in crisis over twenty-three years.
The Wards have one daughter, Rebecca, who lives in Florida with Joab and their grandson Owen.
