Don Wolfram, who formerly headed the office of magnetic equipment company SteinertUS in St. Petersburg, Fla., is leaving the company and the industry to become a missionary to Ecuador.
Wolfram, his wife Mary and their three children will be leaving for Ecuador this spring. Don and Mary Wolfram will serve as Field Coordinators to Ecuador for Missionary Ventures International, a missions group based in Orlando, Fla.
The missions field will not be entirely new to Don Wolfram, who was born in Ecuador to missionary parents.
He has stayed in touch with his missionary roots—including attending the funeral of a missionary pilot friend who died in a plane crash in the 1990s—and his entire family has been studying Spanish to prepare for their relocation.
The Wolframs will be settling in the village of Rio Verde, Ecuador, for what is considered a long-term mission assignment.
