As you may know, we’ve paused our site activities for the majority of the last year. We are excited to share that we’re entering a new season as Rob Bergfalk has been appointed as the new Site Coordinator!
Rob and his wife Kelsey grew up in the Twin Cities and currently live in Champlin. They have been married for 17 years and have two kids: Ronan (9) and Addie (6). Rob joined the district family in 2016 as a youth director at Nowthen Alliance Church. He currently serves as the lead pastor of and both Rob and Kelsey serve as Executive Directors of (ministry of Compassion Church). They’ve witnessed God’s love and faithfulness as they care for people experiencing homelessness in the Anoka area and are excited about continuing to care for people in vulnerable situations through Envision Twin Cities.
We look forward to providing updates as we move into this season of restructuring. The best way to stay updated is by signing up for the newsletter on our website. We want to thank Rick and Kirsten for their leadership; we’re so grateful for all the good things God has done through them and pray He receives all the glory!

The following is an account written by Rick Wallace, the Site Coordinator of Envision Twin Cities.
“During the last three months of 2011, I went on a sabbatical. During this time, I asked the Lord to do something new in my life and ministry. Right after I came back from sabbatical the Lord began to answer my prayer by opening the door for me to begin work with refugees, something I did not seek out.
In January 2012, Somali youth joined our church youth basketball team which has led to a year-round outreach through basketball. In 2014, my church started a community garden which now serves approximately 40 Bhutanese families. Because of the garden, in 2015 the church started a weekly citizenship and English class for Bhutanese refugees. Because of the classes, the Bhutanese Mahima Church began holding weekly worship services in Nepali at Rose Hill Alliance Church in 2016.
Kirsten and I entered 2017 sensing that the Lord had a new chapter of ministry for us, but we were very confused about what that ministry might be. Early in the year I began to read the book “Shaken” by Tim Tebow – it is about this pro athletes’ dreams being shattered. While reading the book, I realized that I no longer had a dream to be shattered, so I asked God for a dream.
As I prayed and talked with friends, I began to realize that the Lord had given me a passion to work with refugees. Numerous people told me the same thing in separate conversations, “when you talk about refugee work there is a different level of excitement in your voice.” I had also received affirmation from Arrive Ministries through encouragement and two magazine articles being written about the refugee work at Rose Hill. Processing this through prayer and being obedient to God’s plan of reaching the nations with the love of Christ, I pursued Envision and God opened the door!”
