Carl and JoLynn Krause, with a wide experience in pastoring churches, teaching and counseling, provide counseling services and retreats focused primarily on missionaries. They are based in Grand Junction, Colorado but spend much of the year as directors and counselors in conjunction with Barnabas Zentrum in Baden, Austria.

The Krauses have been in ministry together for over 40 years. Carl holds a Master of Divinity and Doctorate in Marriage and Family Therapy degrees from Denver Seminary. As a pastor for 25 years, he frequently worked with families in crisis. Because of his love for young pastors, he has also served as a mentor to seminary students. In addition, he served as adjunct professor at Colorado Christian University for 10 years where he taught in the degree completion program.

JoLynn serves with her husband as co-counselor and has a heart for ministry wives and their children. She holds a MA in Counseling from Colorado Christian University and has had a private counseling practice in Lakewood, Colorado. She has also worked with the Center for Organizational Ministry and Development assessing missionary and church planting candidates for several missions and denominations.

Together the Krauses developed a Bachelor of Pastoral Ministry and counseling program at Donetsk Christian University in Ukraine and have taught courses in Pastoral Ministry and Pastoral Care, Marriage and Family, and Biblical Counseling. For eight years they directed Renewing Hope Ministries, ministering to ministry couples and families. The Krauses have three grown children and six grandchildren.
