Duke and Marie Lancaster have been part of the Vineyard movement since 1992. Marie grew up in a Hungarian household, the daughter of an Assembly of God pastor and church planter. Marie says that she knew she never wanted to be married to a pastor and when she met Duke while they were attending Oral Roberts University she was certain he was the last person God would ever call into ministry, so she married him. But just a few years later God used a mission trip to radically impact Duke and he felt God call him to pastor. Together they embraced a call to ministry and missions and never looked back.
