Horst and Amparo Bergmann
Horst (German) was wonderfully born from above in 1977 and before the end of that year, active in a tent ministry. He left the US in 1978 for Italy and Germany tent evangelism ministry. In 1984, he met his sweetheart, Amparo, who was transferred from the Spanish mission to work with the one in Italy. In 1990 they moved out to work in Portugal, having two young children at the time. In 1992 they drove overland from Portugal to Ukraine, establishing also a permanent work there, after which they drove back to Portugal to continue the work they'd begun there. After 7 years out of Italy and learning 2 new languages, it was time to go back.
They’ve been in Italy since, with short outreaches to Greece to work with refugees. Most recently they have had a impactful campaign in France. Their daughter, Heidi, married in 2010 under the tent and is also active with her Sicilian husband in the ministry. They now have three little ones (seen in the photo), who are the grandparents joy. Jonathan, their son, is also serving in the same ministry, and recently married. Up until now the Lord has been faithful, with little or a bit more, they are content in Him, always very thankful for help from His friends and theirs. |

Lidia Sánta
Lidia accepted the call to missions more than twenty years ago. Born in Romania to Hungarian parents she has been ministering in both countries. She started with children’s work, but over the years learned how to witness passionately to people on the streets as well as how to organize events and evangelistic crusades. She’s been an able office worker, a personal assistant and has been involved in women’s and children’s outreaches, working with churches in different capacities.
In recent years she has been concentrating on helping churches in Hungary with their websites, leading an international Bible study and leading an evangelistic movement that helps believers share their faith and challenges people to Think About Jesus. |
