Beau Durham lives in Lubbock, Texas, and fellowships at FreeWay Bible Chapel, where he serves the Lord through teaching, preaching, and evangelism outreach. He also teaches through the Galilee Training Program and the Discipleship Intern Training Program (DITP), helping equip others to grow in their understanding of God's Word. His desire is to obey the Lord's command to make disciples and encourage others in their walk with Him. Beau and his wife, Marley, have a daughter, Charlie, and a son, Thatcher.
