Dick & Ann Dye #011725
Dick grew up in Salisbury, NC and attended Ben Lippen High School where he met Ann. He and Ann graduated from Columbia Bible College, Columbia, SC and Dick from Covenant Theological Seminary in St. Louis, MO.
Ann (Solomon) was raised in Montreat, NC where her father was a Presbyterian evangelist. Dick and Ann married in 1963 and have two grown children.
Dick served as pastor in Asheville, NC for four years. Both Dick and Ann had planned to be missionaries since high school. During a trip to South Mexico, God confirmed to Dick that this is where they were to serve.
In 1970, the Dyes went to Acapulco, Mexico as church planters. After the Maranatha presbytery was formed in 1989, they were invited by the national church to coordinate the El Bajio Project and moved to Queretaro, 120 miles north of Mexico City. In the states of Guanajuato, Aguascalientes and Queretaro, only 1.2% of the population attend evangelical churches.
The Dyes celebrated 30 years of missionary service in Sept. 2000. On March 11, 2001, the new El Bajio Presbytery was formed with five churches.
