Couple behind Bergen’s Mission Overcomes Tragedy for Missionary Work

Darcy Bergen applies his knowledge in financial planning as the president and owner of Bergen Financial Group. Apart from his professional career, Darcy Bergen participates in charity work as the treasurer of Bergen’s Mission USA, Inc.

The mission began in rural Kenya, where missionary workers John and Eloise Bergen worked for another nonprofit organization called Hope for the Nations. In 2008, the couple was based in Kitale, a farming town in Kenya’s rift valley, when their farm house was broken into and they were attacked in by a group of eight armed men. Despite sustaining physical injuries and emotional trauma, the Bergens decided to establish Bergen’s Mission USA, Inc. 

The mission focuses on providing aid for orphanages and other community-based projects in Kenya. With their organization, the Bergens were able to transform their harrowing experience into an inspiring story of dedication to missionary work. They tell more about their story and their charity work in their published book Forgiveness in the Face of Terror.
