Dan and Barb first met at Washington Bible College in Lanham, MD, and married in 1965. They ministered in several areas of Alaska and the Yukon as a missionary pastor and church planters with Central Alaska Mission and SEND International. In 1988 they moved to Lethbridge, Alberta, to serve with InterAct. They worked among the Blackfoot nation and other First Nations tribes as church planters. Their passion in ministry was to disciple, encourage and train the young First Nations leaders to serve God. The Kees have three adult children and ten grandchildren, who are all serving the Lord with their families. Dan and Barb are currently retired but continue in their desire to share the gospel in Lethbridge and the surrounding reserves as health permits.
