Steve
is a part of the Vineyard Church of Columbus and has been going on
short-term mission trips to Brazil since June of 2001. The Xingu Mission
at the time was looking for an accountant to handle their accounting
functions in the United States and he took on this role in August of 2001.
Elba started working for the Bergen family when she was 16 years old.
After two years of working and night classes, Elba went on to further her
studies by attending the Christ for the Nations Bible School in Southern
Brazil and graduated from their two-year program. She stayed on as a
teacher at Christ for the Nations. Elba then moved back to Altamira to
start our Bible School (ITA) which opened in January of 2001. Elba is
presently our Bible School Director of ITA. ITA just had their first
graduating class of 13 new leaders in December 2002.
Steve felt called to missionary work and continued to travel to Brazil. He
went back down to the mission field in February of 2002 to get more
acclimated to the culture and praise God met Elba. Elba and Steve prayed
daily to discern whether or not it was the will of the Lord for Steve to
be a missionary in Brazil. After several months of prayer and fasting they
got their answer. God was calling Steve to the field to share the Gospel
of truth to the Brazilian culture and to assist the Xingu Mission in
expanding the Kingdom of God.
Steve and Elba got married on November 8th, 2003. Email:
