Executive Director
Elsa’s earliest years were spent launching Texas’ Aldape Asphalt and establishing solid business relationships. In 1988, she married Charles Ezell, eventually having two children. Elsa celebrated the role of homemaker while serving her kids, her church, while often creating small businesses. Being an avid sewer/designer, she especially enjoyed her brief chapter as a software educator for Sewing Industry leader Viking-Pfaff.
In what can only be described as her world crumbling with a force beyond measure, 2010 unleashed six years of family devastation, which has now become the beautiful backdrop of Meant To Soar Foundation. As a graduate with a promising future including college scholarships, her daughter Britta, experienced campus rape. Despite three eyewitness testimonies, the perpetrator remained free on campus. Britta often had to pass this person on the way to classes, and this was unbearable. She began to spiral, skipping classes. Out-of-control drinking, then drugs, and finally isolation led to the horror of being trafficked, until her divine escape! But trauma often begins a repeating cycle of sabotage, recovery, and falling back. At times homeless, 2016 closed with a homicide investigation of Britta’s nefarious death. Beyond the tragic loss of her 24-year-old daughter, Elsa became a full-time mom to Britta’s two children.
Elsa has served as Missions Coordinator at Crossbridge Church in San Antonio until Meant To Soar took flight. She continues to champion the ultimate soaring for all – removing the weight of sin and separation, to forever experience God’s power in our daily lives.
