-Gerhard Wiebe, minister and elder: born 25 July 1827 South [[Russia|Russia]], the eldest of six children of Gerhard Wiebe (30 September 1800 – 11 February 1858) and Agatha (Dyck) Wiebe (7 September 1804 – 1875).  On 12 June 1847 Gerhard married Elisabeth Dyck (17 October 1828 – 26 December 1876), daughter of Dirk Dyck (12 March 1786 – 9 September 1850) and Sara (Penner) Dyck (26 October 1787 – 29 April 1847). Ten children were born to them, with seven reaching adulthood: [[Wiebe, Johann D. (1853-1909)|Johann]], Gerhard, Isbrand, Heinrich, Peter, [[Wiebe, Jacob D. (1865-1938)|Jacob]], and [[Wiebe, Diedrich D. (1868-1930)|Dirk]]. After the death of his first wife, Gerhard married Elisabeth (Defehr) Loewen (4 April 1823 – 9 November 1908).  She was the daughter of Jacob Defehr (13 November 1780 – 1823) and Maria (Peters) Defehr (1 March 1781 – ca. 1799) and had been previously married to Wilhelm Esau and Peter W.

Wiebe began serving the church as a deacon, a calling for which he was ordained on 25 November 1854. On 23 November 1861 he was ordained to the ministry and on 27 March 1866 he was ordained to the position of Elder, an office he held until 1882.  Although initially Wiebe was not in favour of emigration, after some persuasion he became the colonies leading advocate. Emigration was undertaken as a result of changing Russian laws that the Bergthal Colony perceived to threaten the churches control of education and their exemption from military service. Emigration was already begun when the village of Bergthal was almost entirely burned.

 His first three years in Canada where marred by the tragic deaths of his wife and three children. In spite of his personal losses, Wiebe continued to serve the church. He worked to maintain control of private schools; negotiate a loan and repayment with [[Ontario (Canada)|Ontario]] churches; and even helped organize churches in the [[United States of America|United States]]. Wiebe will also be remembered for his sudden and unexplained resignation as Elder in 1882. Many have speculated on the reason for his resignation but we have yet to find any record explaining why after a routine visit to the [[West Reserve (Manitoba, Canada)|West Reserve]], Wiebe resigned as Elder and never preached another sermon.
