Born in Southern Rhodesia before its Unilateral Declaration of Independence in 1965, Rynier Kruger served in the Rhodesian Army and experienced the anguish of being forced out of his homeland and the expropriation of his family farm. While living in exile in South Africa he accepted Christ and dedicated the rest of his life to service in Christian missions. He has now served for 20 years in Thailand, where he mastered the Thai language and has reached out with the Gospel to native Thais. He is the author of My Thailand Calling.
