The Master's Messengers

Member Myrtle Bergstrom was born February 14, 1934, one of a set of twins, to Jalmer and Helen (Howard) Jenson in, Glendorado Township, Benton County, Minnesota. Myrtle put her faith & trust in Jesus Christ as Savior as a very young girl at a Gospel Tent Meeting in Santiago. She attended Foley High School where she was on the student council and played trumpet in the band. She married Roland Bergstrom on September 26, 1953 at the Country Church in Glendorado. The couple farmed near Foley until 1965. During that time, they sang together on the radio with a musical group called the Master’s Messengers. They felt a call into the ministry so they sold the farm and enrolled in the New Tribes Bible Institute in Waukesha, WI. They took a pastorate at West Gate Bible Church in Eau Claire, WI and assisted at Camp Lawrence, a childrens Bible Camp in the summer time. Later they joined the American Missionary Fellowship as home missionaries.
