About: John

Please pray for Mel and 10 other women from our village who are at a women’s retreat this weekend. This is one of the largest groups we’ve ever taken from our village. Pray that they will be spiritually rejuvenated and will return with a greater focus to live out the love of Christ among their…

After a 19 hour marathon drive yesterday, and a three hour drive this morning, we made it to the border by about 8:30. It took us ’til after noon to clear customs and was about three o’clock before I was re-united with Mel and Evangeline. It broke my heart a little bit when Evangeline woke…

So the whole thing ended up costing about $800 $300 for the clutch, $300 for the labor and $200 for an extra hotel night, meals, phone calls, etc.. Jeep runs great now and we’ll forge on tomorrow. We’re going to try to drive for about 16 hours to make up for lost time. It’s going…

So you’re probably wondering how I have internet access on a night we were going to sleep in the Jeep… You know that tiny squeak in your car that you keep meaning to check out? Well mine went away about a week ago and didn’t appear throughout the first 1000 miles of our journey. I…

All is well. Posting before we get out of cell range. Got the green light through customs, so no search required. Will update on Monday when I hitt Belize…

And I’m not talkin’ Taco Bell. Because we found out that the border is closed on Sat. after we booked the ticket, we’ve had to move very fast in a slow jeep. Only got 4 hours of sleep last night and tonight’s lookin like it’s gonna be five. Only 4.5 hrs of driving time and…

It’s off to work I go. Except my commute is 2500 miles. I’ve fixed the tracker, so you can follow us tomorrow and Friday. Just click on the “where are the Bjorgen’s” link to your right. We pull out around 6:00am MST. More info tomorrow…It’s 1:30 am and I’m beat…

Evans day turned out swell. Not only did we get to hang out a lot but we were able to purchase things needed for our move. So the next few days I will be packing. It’s here! Packing for Belize, not for a trip, but to stay, for good. I’ve been enjoying every minute of…

Please be in prayer for Vera. One of the railings on the porch on the mission base failed and she fell this morning (about 10 ft). She fractured several bones in her foot. Please be in prayer for her as she’s scheduled for surgery in Belize tomorrow morning. Basil is the only other staff right…

So I ( John ) am in Belize for the last time before we move. I’m here with our regional coordinator to hash our our ministry plan for the next year. We’ve got ambitious plans, but we’ve also got a great God to depend on. It’s good to have specific goals for a couple reasons…
