Elizabeth was born in Argentina to the home of Adventist missionaries. Since early childhood, her parents instilled in her the love of Jesus and she always envisioned preaching and teaching as she gathered her dolls as an audience. After completing her bachelor’s in music, Elizabeth went on to work in the business world for many years. She earned a master’s degree in Organizational Behavior. In 2001, she was invited to become a full-time pastor, which she gladly accepted as a call from God.

She earned a master’s degree in Biblical studies and subsequent Ph.D. Eventually she became a senior pastor for several years and an adjunct Biblical Studies professor. She has enjoyed evangelism in many forms and innovative venues, and now leads the Jesus 101 media ministry. Elizabeth’s main identity is her passion about the good news of Jesus Christ: “It’s like fire in my bones,” she says, and she means it!
