Rufus  & Deedre Whynot

Rufus and Dee Whynot are the founders of Yielded Vessels Ministry and Family Aid Foundation. They are the parents to the rest of the YVM/FAF family. Their commission involves the laying of a strong foundation through the establishment of churches and the training of disciples and ministers through relationships.

The Whynots began their ministry in 1984, spending their first four years on the mission field in Guatemala working with Living Water Teaching.

From 1988 through 1994, they worked in and from Berlin, Germany. There they founded a church (still going strong today) and traveled to work with international students in various university cities of Eastern Europe.

In January 1995, they moved to Cluj-Napoca, Romania, to establish FAF where they lead missionaries from four nations as well as a strong Romanian staff.
