The Lord put together a friendship which is growing stronger every year! Danny phones Rick Bergen, the Xingu team leader, monthly. He is available for pastoral, theological and team council as challenges arise.

Jim Nyssen is a very successful businessman in Canada. He has been involved with missions for many years including founding and supporting an orphanage in Southern Brazil for one example.

Jim has been instrumental in helping the Xingu Mission get off the ground. He also phones once in awhile and always is ready to receive a call from Rick Bergen. Jim has brought a lot of good business sense to the mission.
