David Hurtado & Veronika Faleeva
Administration
We are a young married couple serving at TGC Bible School, primarily involved in student management and organizational duties. Our role allows us to work closely with the students, overseeing their development and ensuring they thrive during their time at the school.
We both received a calling from God to be part of this ministry and feel truly blessed to serve as members of the staff team. We have witnessed how God is working in and through us, and our desire is to help guide the next generation of youth to live according to His Word and deepen their understanding of the Scriptures.
Raised in Christian families, we both pursued higher education. David completed his Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration and Management in Tennessee, USA, while Veronika earned her Bachelor’s degree in Linguistics in St. Petersburg, Russia.
Morten Tofting & Karianne Tofting
Staff
We met in ministry and enjoy being married and serving together.
The Lord has blessed us with 3 children, a girl and two boys.
Karianne grew up in a christian home and was involved in ministry from her youth. She worked as a nurse when God called her to quit her job to serve Him in a different way.
Morten had a life changing encounter with Jesus, and was born again at the age of 20. He has since then been fully involved in ministry.
We want to live our lives glorifying Christ, loving Him who first Loved us.
Our hearts desire as we serve here in TGC is to see students grow in knowledge of Gods Word, and in their relationship with Him.
That they may be equipped to live fruitful lives in ministry, as they take part in the Great Commission.
We are truly blessed to see the amazing work God is doing through the bible school.

I have also been a professor at the Theological Biblical Seminary (SEBITE), teaching the subject of Theology Proper in the Canary Islands.

Leander Janse
Teacher
My name is Leander Janse. The most important thing to say about me is that I am a beloved child of God, justified by Jesus’ sacrifice and that nothing can separate me from the love of Christ. I would also like to share that I am graciously married to Joanne, a loving, courageous woman with whom I can serve the Lord together. We have four sons, all of whom still live at home with us.
Growing up in a Christian family, I decided to distance myself from the Christian faith as a teenager. At the age of 20, while I was in college, God troubled me, convinced me from sin and the emptiness of my live and gave me a hunger to read the Bible. During that period I was converted quite abruptly and God’s love for a lost sinner filled my heart. The discovery that Jesus’ sacrifice was enough for me and freed me from sin filled my heart with joy.
During that period I worked as a teacher at a secondary school. God directed it so that I could attend Bible college. Soon after, we became involved in church work, evangelism and discipleship. In 2016, God called us to full-time ministry at a Gospel Mission Bible School (www.hebronmissie.nl). We lived there for seven years and worked in educating and training young people. In 2023 we heard God’s call to also serve a church. I currently serve as an elder in a Baptist church and I also work for the Bible school. My main responsibilities are teaching and discipling Christians and young leaders.
It’s quite humbling, until today, to see the Lord working in and through me. Praise His Name!

Luca Ivanovic
Teacher
I am 48 years old and from Croatia. I am a husband and father of three children.
I converted at the age of 21, and since then I have served the Lord in the Biblical Church “Reto a la Esperanza!” In my Christian life, I have served in various countries in the mission field of my church. I served for 12 years in northern Spain (Santander) before getting married. Two years after getting married, I returned to my country (Croatia) with my wife, who is also Croatian. We lived in Zagreb (the capital of Croatia) for 4 years, actively involved in the mission of helping those in need and growing in the knowledge of our Lord. We thought we would stay in our country because we could see God’s fruit in our ministry, but God wanted to surprise us (as He often has) and took us to northern Italy (Milan). We have been here in Italy for 12 years, pastoring a church along with other brothers.
