	Andreas Eichberger I was born in 1958 and lived in Frankfurt/Germany until finishing my music studies (pipe organ and piano) in the acadamy and my Bible studies to become a pastor. Then I moved to Cologne, where I founded and pastored a pentecostal church during many years. A classical philologist, I also studied Hebrew and Old Greek and love "diving" into the original scriptures of the Bible. In 2005, I additionally graduated as Associate of Christan Studies at "The Sure Foundation Theological Institute, MI". For many years, I am a worship leader. I love to play for our great Savior and lead people into worshipping and praising Him. Then I moved to Hamburg and for some years by now, I am doing this ministry together with my wife ...
... Birgit Barandica Eichberger. I was also born in 1958, but in Hamburg, where I lived throughout almost all my years. For 2 years and a half though, I lived in England and Indonesia but else, I lived in different areas of Hamburg. Yet, I travelled a lot and could see many different places all over the world, marvelling at God's creation! I was a nominal Christian until October 1992, when I gave my life to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ at last. Since then, I am His happy follower most of the time (in times of struggle maybe not quite as happy, but a faithful follower still!) and I love telling people about Him, which is also the reason for this website!
	Donna Thompson I was born in Miami, Florida 10 years before Andreas and Birgit (that sounds a little better than actually giving my birth year). I accepted Christ as my Savior when I was 13 at a youth meeting and the Lord and I have had a wonderful relationship for almost 45 years. I attended Florida Bible College when I graduated from high school and was a missionary for 5 years in south Texas with some friends who pastor a church and also have a youth ministry and a Christian school. After moving around and living in various parts of the U.S., I am now in Houston, Texas, working fulltime as a legal secretary. I have been dabbling with writing poetry and short stories for years and over the past year I have been privileged to write devotional-type stories for my Sunday School class newsletter. These contributions to Ways of Life are some of those writings. I pray you are blessed by them.
Polly Gwinn I was born and raised in West Texas and have had limited opportunity to travel. I have never been out of the United States but thanks to the Bible Study Ministry God has allowed access to countries around the world and all 50 states via email. I follow the studies on my over-sized world map that hangs beside my computer desk. I was saved and baptized at the age of ten but "FINALLY" gave my life entirely to God in the past ten years. I am thankful for His patience and continued love for me while I tested the things of the world. I have been married to the same good 'ole boy for over 40 years. We have three grown kids and three grandkids whom we see enough to enjoy watching them grow into "responsible" adults and we are very proud of them. Polly has written a book "Scripture Made Easy". Check it out here!
	Bruni Wolters I was born July 30, 1958 in a small town called Uelzen, a bit south of Hamburg/Germany and I also grew up there. I studied biology in Hamburg. For 20 years, I am married to Gerd and we are having 3 children. I enjoy being a mom very much and I belong to the leader team in one of the 3 Vineyard Churches in Hamburg. Next to "training on the job" , I did a 4-years' training with the Vineyard Church. Regularly, I am visiting another Bible College in Hamburg once or twice a year. And right now, I am doing a concelling training with Philippi-Trust, which I will have finished in about one year. I am curious to see what will happen next! Although I am not working as a biologist, doing research and studies are still a big passion of mine.
