Bethel Baptist Church

Bob and Barb were members of First Baptist Church (BGC) in Fergus Falls, MN, when they were led by God into full-time ministry.
They spent 17 years with Far East Broadcasting in the Philippines.  Now they are in Pretoria, South Africa.  Bob is the broadcast technology director for Africa with FEBA Radio, FEBC's sister organization.
 
Bob travels extensively throughout southern Africa, providing technical support for many radio stations which reach out to people with the good news of Jesus Christ.  As you can imagine, this presents many challenges in working with different cultures, personalities, governments and equipment.  

 
Barb volunteers 3 days a week in the FEBA Radio South Africa office in Pretoria, assisting the office staff with correspondence, financial details, and with English publications sent out to some financial supporters.
 
The Bartzes' children, Nathan and Emily, are in the U.S.  Nathan is in grad school in Minot, ND, and Emily is working in Fargo, ND.
