ABOUT DAUNAVAN
Daunavan’s life has been marked by extraordinary miracles: from a near death experience with radical healing in his teens to God’s hand expressed in his everyday life. Whenever he preaches, he does so with the expectation that this type of experience is an expression of normal Christianity. Psalm 118:17 is his life verse: “I will not die, but I will live, and proclaim what God has done.” When he ministers, through preaching or worship leading, Daunavan desires to help bring people to a deeper understanding of the love of the Father, the gospel of Jesus, and the empowerment of the Holy Spirit. He longs that all of the people he gets to minister to would be transformed by an encounter with God. His story and teaching gift has opened many doors to speak and lead worship at camps, conference, churches, and leadership groups across Western Canada.
Daunavan is ordained by the North American Baptists and has his Masters of Missional Leadership from Rochester College in Michigan. He also has a worship arts diploma from Columbia Bible College and Bachelor of Theology from Vanguard College. He was a Young Adults & Worship Pastor for 8 years before beginning his role with Resurgence. His teaching combines deep Biblical truth with a desire to be led by and encounter the Holy Spirit. He is currently participating in the Arrow Leadership Program and has a deep desire for lifelong learning.
Daunavan is married to Kirsten (since 2010) and they have 2 children: Ava & Daniel. Together, the Buyer family wants to embody what it means to live in continuous revival – believing that God wants to be a part of every area of their lives. Daunavan has a deep love for music, coffee, sports, and reading.
