Elisabeth always knew she’d be involved in ministry of one kind or another. After completing her bachelor’s degree in English and a master’s degree in secondary education at Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio, Elisabeth worked in a rural public high school in North Carolina for three years as an English teacher. During that time she sensed God’s calling her to overseas ministry to serve in Sofia, Bulgaria.
Elisabeth serves with the MTW church-planting team that partners with the UECCB (Bulgarian Evangelical Union of Churches) in Sofia, Bulgaria. Her primary role on the team is to assist in the English language ministry, a ministry that offers free English classes in order to form friendships with Bulgarians. Through these friendships, she prays for opportunities to show the love of Christ so her friends will ask her about the hope of Christ. Through the English clubs, annual summer camp, and various events throughout the year, the English language team is able to present the gospel and invite our friends to visit our church plant.

"And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, 'All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.'" --Matthew 28:18-20
