Cristy and Erik have a long history in South America. Cristy teaches missionary children in Peru and Erik helps with mission aviation (both in partnership with South America Mission).

 

Cristy grew up as a Missionary Kid (MK) in Brazil where her parents also served with Wycliffe. After college, she joined Wycliffe as a single missionary and she taught at several of the MK schools in Brazil. Since Cristy is a missionary kid herself, she knows what challenges MKs face, etc. It was in Brazil that she met Erik, who came from the Netherlands to serve in Brazil. They married and went through linguistics and missiology training together in Brazil in order to be better prepared for their mission service.

 

Later they served for a number of years at a training center for indigenous people in Brazil (in partnership with South America Mission).

 

In between Brazil and Peru, they served for 3 years at the JAARS Center in North Carolina (USA), where they helped with training new missionaries.

 

Would you prayerfully consider how you might join their Wycliffe ministry team through prayer and financial partnership.
