Danny & Rebecca Panton
European Directors
Salzburg, Austria
As cofounders of the SBUX bible studies in Vienna, the Pantons became familiar with Surge personnel and their ministry through soccer. Danny was also one of the directors of the Patmos Discipleship School for Calvary Chapel. God gave Danny a tremendous heart for displaced refugees coming into Europe and caught the vision of using soccer to engage and build relationships with them. Together Danny and Rebecca not only directly serve the refugee community but they also provide needed leadership to participants in our Global Player Initiative (GPI) in Europe.
