Former lead Pastor KR Paton
Former lead Pastor KR Paton
KR is our pastor. He and Darlene moved to Phuket in July 2017, although they had visited the island several times in the past. On their first visit they drove from Chiang Mai with their youngest son and his family. As they crossed the bridge onto the island KR prayed; "the people who live in darkness have seen a great light."

They could not have predicted several years later they would be called by God to shine the light of the Gospel through an international church in Phuket. KR and Darlene have served in ministry in Canada, the USA, and Kuwait prior to arriving at All Nations Church Phuket (ANCP).
