Barb and Steve Hopta have been married 41 years and are the parents of Bethany, Emily (Jack Hoblitzell), and Kate (Brett Swanson), and grandparents of Ellie (5) and Charlotte (2).
Steve: I am an elder at First, Charleston and a Trustee of PWV. I am retired General Counsel of Pocahontas Land Corp. I have known Leslie Clay and Carl Agsten for ten years and look forward to seeing them and experiencing the work they have done as missionaries in Nicaragua. I anticipate investigating possibilities for expanding the presbytery's presence in Nicaragua.
Barb: I became acquainted with Leslie and Carl since coming to First, Charleston as Director of Child/Family Ministry. My interest in Nicaragua is closely tied to their three years of ministry there. During that time several groups from First Presby have taken mission trips to Nicaragua. I'm excited that my opportunity has arrived and appreciate the support and prayers expressed by many for our group.
