Duggins Family eUp-date / August 2023

Dr. Patricia J. Bonner
​1935 - 2023

​"Mom" Bonner has been part of our ministry and lives for more than 40 years.  Meeting her as young missionaries during fundraising to go to Indonesia, Pat was the mission Chairwoman of the missions team of First Christian Church in Johnson City, TN.  

In 1998 she accepted the invitation to come to Pachuca Mexico to teach a young missionary kid that was struggling with learning challenges.  During the next two years of private teaching she helped Andrew achieve grade level and made it possible for him to continue his education at normal grade levels. 

In the years following "Mom" Bonner would bless our family in amazing ways.  When it became necessary for us to transition away from a mission and to form our own 501(3)c she became a founding member of the IMPACTOLatino Board and actually was the president of the board for many years, and at her passing, she still served on the IMPACTO Board of Advisors. She also was the representative of IMPACTO on the New International Board of Directors and only recently left that position.

She continued to minister in Mexico by returning to teach special seminars to the Churches in Pachuca, Mexico on topics of HEAVEN, ANGELS and BIBLICAL PROPHECY.  She also helped with special classes at the English Institute.

"Mom" Bonner was a prayer warrior and gave sacrificially to support mission projects around the world.  We were privileged to see her heart that loved the Lord Jesus deeply and she will always be our loving mission's "mom". 

We were blessed to return to the United States for Pat's Celebration Service held at the First Christian Church on Saturday, August 12.
