Our Missionaries

Roy and Julie Eberhardt

For many years, the Eberhardts have served in the mountainous Oxaca region of southern Mexico with Wycliffe Bible Translators.  They are currently working with a team helping to translate the Bible into the language of the Cuicatec people group.  Roy provides team support through his technical and computer expertise, and Julie trains new missionaries and helps them adapt to their new life on the field.

Cam and Ray Brown

Cam Brown grew up in Tampa, Florida and first became involved in Reformed University Fellowship when he attended the University of Virginia as an undergraduate. Cam now serves as the RUF Campus Minister at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He and his wife, Ray, were married in the summer of 2020 and enjoy sports, board games and reading. 

Friend of Sinners Church

Back in 2015 Teaching Elder Dan Quakkelaar and his wife Sherry followed God's call to plant a church in an inner city neighborhood on Milwaukee's north side. Ministry there is extremely difficult and often dangerous, with street gangs, drug houses, and poverty being commonplace. By the Lord's grace and the Spirit's work, Friend of Sinners has become a gospel lighthouse to many in that part of Milwaukee. Due to the poverty and instability of most church members, outside support helps  make Friend of Sinners' ministry of evangelism and discipleship possible. We count it a privilege to partner with them for the glory of God in the city.

Indigenous Outreach International-Ethiopia (I.O.I.)

IOI was established in 1999 for the purpose of prayerfully supporting native ministers by providing financial, technical and educational assistance. Today IOI partners with over 70 ministers from 13 denominations in Ethiopia, Brazil, and Togo.  Additionally they connect over 240 at-risk children with sponsors through the True Light Childcare Project in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. We provide direct support to three men in Ethiopia: Fikire (ministry project coordination), Fikadu-seen here with his family (TLC and Pastor training program coordination), and Negash (overall IOI coordination in Ethiopia).

BPC Missions in Ethiopia

Pastor Andy & Teams

In May of 2022, Pastor Andy began regular short term mission trips to Ethiopia partnering to serve with International Theological Education Ministries (ITEM) and Indigenous Outreach International (IOI). Each year since then Andy has led three other BPC teams on return mission trips where he and team members have taught the Bible to equip and encourage Ethiopian pastors and elders, their wives and other women's ministry leaders, and the students served in the TLC program. While there each year, the teams have served in local church worship services and other ministry events and have made many site visits to families served by the TLC program including those sponsored by members of our church here in Merrill.
