Bill and Debbie Crawford

Bill and Debbie Crawford were approved as missionaries to Slovakia in September 1998. In November 1999, they changed their field to East Germany and served in the former communist city of Dresden for over 20 years. While in Dresden, they were instrumental in planting the International Baptist Church.

In May 2022, Bill and Debbie were approved as Relief missionaries. This will allow them to go to any field and relieve missionaries in need of furlough knowing that their ministry work is being cared for and nurtured by the Crawford's experience. Bill and Debbie's desire and hope is to offer pastoral leadership, encouragement, and comfort to the flock while the missionaries are off the field.

Bill graduated in 1988 with a degree in Bible and Youth Ministry from Baptist Bible College, Springfield, MO. In 2011, he earned his Master's of New Testament from the European Bible Training Center in Berlin. Debbie attended Baptist Bible College from 1984 to 1986.

The Crawfords served their internship at their sending church, Grand Oaks Baptist Church (formerly North Park Baptist Church) in Humble, TX, where Bill served as an associate pastor from 1988 - 1990. Bill was also ordained at this church. He and Debbie served as camp directors at Christian Singing Hills Youth Camp from 1990 – 1998.
