Summary: Mario and Elsbeth serve the worldwide Church by training global Christian leaders in a suburb of Amsterdam through theological education at Tyndale Theological Seminary. At the school, Mario teaches Old Testament. The seminary has an intentional international profile and trains students from all over the world—but mostly from Africa and Asia—to become pastors and missionaries in their home countries. Both Mario and Elsbeth are excited that God uses Tyndale to prepare men and women for a variety of ministries with a gospel-centered theological education. At the same time, the faculty and students are actively serving in churches and ministries in the Netherlands, one of the most secular societies in the world. 

How you can serve: Tyndale is a missionary seminary. The faculty are all missionaries and most of the students come from distant countries where they couldn't receive the kind of theological education they get at Tyndale. Thanks to gracious donors, they can receive scholarships and stipends which allows them to get the ministry preparation they need to serve God wherever they are from. Donations to Mario and Elsbeth's work can be made online via their agency Mission to the World. Most important for the ministry at Tyndale is prayer. Please ask God to use the school for the sake of his kingdom by sending us students who will faithfully serve the Gospel in the future, by giving the faculty and the staff wisdom to educate them well, and by strengthening them during their studies. Please also pray that God will sustain and grow the school spiritually and financially. Tyndale is dependent on God's gracious hand to expand its activities.
