Delano and Linda Meyer
Delano and Linda Meyer are missionaries stationed at Sierra Leone. Delano is an agricultural development consultant for the countries of Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea in West Africa. Delano trains Lutherans leaders to train their own people in effective agricultural and development practices to promote better care of the soil and livestock and to encourage stewardship of resources. Together they visit churches and farms in the assigned countries. The Meyers encourage and assist the local Lutheran church as it ministers to the agricultural, medical and development needs of the community.
The Meyers grew up on farms in west central Minnesota. Linda graduated from Concordia College in St. Paul, MN, with a degree in elementary education. Delano graduated from North Dakota State School of Science with an associate degree in civil engineering. The Meyers farmed in Minnesota from 1973-1993. From 1994-2000 the Meyers served as agricultural missionaries and missionary counselors in Ghana, West Africa. During 2000-2003 Delano was the LCMS area director for the English-speaking countries of West and southern Africa.
The Meyers have two children. Their daugher, Laura and husband, Ray Thielke, live near Chokio, MN. Their son Brian has two children, Drew and Meg. Brian and his wife, Robin, and her three children live in Fargo, ND.
Please pray for the Meyers as they carry out their missionary work. Ask God to make them a blessing to the churches they serve in West Africa.
