   STADSKANAAL  NETHERLANDS  -- Bart Elling, 85, went to be with his Lord
   and Savior on March 29, 1999, in Stadskanaal, Holland.
   
   He  was  born Barteld Elling on May 17, 1913, in Scheemda, Holland. He
   married Jantina (Tiny) Mulder on May 11, 1943.
   
   Bart  and  Tiny immediately began a ministry of bringing the Gospel to
   shattered  lives  in  Holland  and  Germany.  During WWII, the Ellings
   suffered  many  hardships  and  privations,  along  with  their fellow
   countrymen,  but  also  saw  God  work  many  miracles. Their ministry
   eventually  took  them around the world, establishing Bible Schools in
   the  Carribbean  and  ministering in Dutch orphanages in Surinam. Bart
   Elling  became  a well known and respected Bible teacher and pastor in
   the  various  places he and Tiny served. When they came to the U.S. in
   the  mid-70s,  before  arriving  in  Odessa  to pastor at Morning Star
   Fellowship  church,  he had established small Bible schools in several
   places and faithfully taught Gods Word at every opportunity.
   
   Ellings  made  many friends in Odessa area during their residence here
   and  subsequent  visits.  He  served as interim pastor at Morning Star
   Fellowship about three years and then returned to Holland. He pastored
   a  church  in  Emmen  until  failing health required their move into a
   nursing center in Stadskanaal.
   
   Bart  and  Tiny  were  loved by all who knew them. Wherever they were,
   they  served  the  Lord  in humble ministry to people of every walk of
   life.  Bart  had a great desire to depart and be with Christ, which is
   far  better,  and  has  now  joyfully graduated from this life to live
   eternally with the Lord Jesus and his dear Tiny who went before him on
   May  8,  1998. He is survived by one brother-in-law, Derek Mulder, and
   wife,  Triny  of  Holland,  and a multitude of friends in the U.S. and
   around the world who will treasure the times shared with Bart and Tiny
   in fellowship with the Lord Jesus Christ.
