Bill and Bonnie Markham, formerly of Kingsburg, California, received their appointment as missionaries to Brazil in 1980. After completing two productive terms in Brazil, the Markhams transferred to Portugal to give leadership to the struggling church. He stated, “In Portugal I am the field superintendent. I have legalized the church and restructured the by-laws and am involved in leadership training, evangelism, and church planting.” In 1994 his responsibility expanded to include the UPC of Spain. The past several years have been difficult for the Markhams. Painful back surgeries have kept Bonnie Markham confined to California. He shuttles between California and the field, desperately trying to be both a good husband and a productive missionary. It is hoped that her condition will improve so that she will be able to accompany her husband to the field.
