16 Jul New Global Ministries Staff

L-r: Bridger Fetters, Jenaya Bonner, and Jessica Hollopeter.

In recent months we approved a number of new staff members for service around the world.

Bridger Fetters is a member of College Park UB in Huntington, Ind. He has participated in a number of short-term projects in China and Macau, and partly grew up in Macau when his parents, Luke and Audrey Fetters, served there. Bridger will focus his efforts on evangelism and discipleship, and will also work with the English Language Institute as a means to develop relationships with students and adults.

Jenaya Bonner, a member of Emmanuel Community Church in Fort Wayne, Ind., has been to China and Macau twice as a short-termer. In Macau, she will focus on evangelism and discipleship, and will also work with the English Language Institute as a means to develop relationships with students and adults.

Jessica Hollopeter will serve as a mission journalist. She will live in Greenwood, Ind., and share her time between OMS and Global Ministries. She will be an employee of Global Ministries serving with a partner agency. Jessica, the daughter of Jason and Donna Hollopeter, is a member of Corunna UB church in Corunna, Ind.

Galen and Maritta Fiedler (above) are “tentmakers” in southern Germany, where Galen teaches at a local Christian school that is passionate about reaching their community for Christ. Among the varied efforts to reach people for Christ, the Fiedlers also use English as a means to build relationships and establish rapport. They will host volunteers and students who come to help them with short-term ministries.

Ryan and Laura Fennell (right) have been approved as endorsed staff with New Tribes Mission. They are members of the Morningstar UB Church in Kokomo, Ind. Both have been trained at the New Tribes Bible Institute and have earned degrees from other universities. They will go to Missouri this fall for pre-field training. Their long-term goal is to serve in Papua New Guinea on the New Tribes base in the city of Goroka. The base, known as Lapilo, is the headquarters for New Tribes in the country and is the location of the main staff children’s school, Numinohi Christian Academy.

Jeff and April Dice will live in Central America for 3-4 months each year. During these times they will serve as our Central American liaisons, overseeing volunteer ministries, developing national leaders, and assisting in the development of micro-business opportunities. Jeff, a former UB missionary in Macau, is associate pastor of Brown Corners UB church in Clare, Mich.
