Dana and Tanya Carbone (Native America & Russia)
Dana and Tanya presently serve in a church in Miami, Oklahoma, Tanya is the Children's leader and Dana is an elder and he helps preach and lead prayer and worship before the main service starts. They also serve and do whatever is needed there in the ministry.
Before that, Tanya and Dana were involved in a local Cherokee Native American church for four years where they greatly enjoyed the ministry. Tanya was also the children's director and Dana filled in for the pastor and they helped do whatever needed to be done there as well.
Dana and Tanya recently made a trip to the Ukrainian-Romanian border to help with the Ukrainian refugees, it was a very special trip and really pulled on their heart helping these precious Ukrainian people who have lost everything and now they're fleeing to other countries. They needed Russian translators because many of the people helping on the border of Romania after the Ukrainians came through the border did not speak Russian (most Ukrainians speak Russian). Tanya, of course, is a native Russian speaker and Dana speaks Russian pretty well so they were able to converse with these people help direct them to where they needed to go, They fed them, prayed for them and helped clothe them, etc. They also were able to pray and minister to everyone they talked to and it was a great time to be the feet and hands of Jesus on the ground there,
Dana worked as a missionary in Costa Rica for six years (1982-1988). Then, Dana went to Russia in 1993 intending to stay only three months, but those three months turned into ten years. For the first three years he raised up children’s programs in various churches and also did children’s festivals, where he saw at times over 1000 children in attendance. For the last seven years in Russia, he pastored two churches. Dana also met Tanya, a children’s pastor in one of the churches, and he returned to the States a married man! Dana and Tanya’s future plans are to minister here in the States as God opens doors and to continue to make mission trips overseas.
