Local Reach
Ken and Karen Toews serve in Kadoka, a small, rural town of 600 located in western South Dakota. As the county seat, the town serves as the area’s center for shopping, schools, and churches. Approximately ninety miles from a larger city, residents must travel long distances for medical needs and restaurants. As a result, there is a general sense of self-sufficiency in this area, and a strong emphasis on lending a hand to neighbors.
South Dakota has one of the highest rates of working moms in the nation. This has led to a population of children accustomed to fending for themselves and learning self-sufficiency at an early age. Spiritually, most families would claim some religious affiliation, though most of the population fails to attend any church services. There is a strong need for evangelism, both to those who “claim” religion and those who are largely unreached.
The Toewses have served as InFaith field staff since 1980.
Ken graduated from Grace College of the Bible in 1977 with a BA in Christian Education, and received an MA from Talbot Seminary in 1979. Karen earned a BA from Grace College of the Bible in 1980.
Ken and Karen have three adult children. They joined InFaith to support ministry in rural areas, including both adult and children opportunities.
