Don and Vivian Bruck
“The Thrill of the Will of God in Our Lives”
MP3 Recording of the Bruck's story:
This is an incredible story of romance and answers to prayer.
They met in Prairie High School in 1943, graduated from Prairie Bible Institute in 1948, and took graduate studies from Luther-Rice Seminary in Florida. Don's father, Emil Bruck, moved from Tacoma, WA, to Three Hills in 1945, and was on Prairie staff for 25 years.
In 1950 the Brucks joined the Japan Evangelical Mission and worked in its American offices for 33 years until 1983 when JEM and TEAM merged.
During those years they took four home assignments in Japan, updating their presentations and getting audio-visuals for their ministry of representing and recruiting missionaries in America.
Don incorporated three mission societies with the Canadian government, and Vivian set up their Canadian offices. In 1987 they were invited to pastor the English Department of the Japan Evangelical Free Church in Tokyo which they did until their 1995 retirement.
Don and Vivian have three children—at one time on three continents.
