Missionaries and Locations
Here is a list of our supported
missionaries, their missions agency and location where they are serving.
Please remember to pray for them throughout the week:
Phil & Mimi Bjorklund- WorldVenture,
(Littleton, Colorado) Missions Mobilizer. Phil travels around the country
speaking mostly on Christian College campuses on the subject of inter-cultural
ministries. From those contacts he builds relationships with young people
considering international ministries. The result is the appointment of new
personnel with WorldVenture annually. Together they train new personnel at the
office in CO and overseas. Every year they take a group of people who are
considering ministry in an international setting on a "vision trip" to prepare
them for what might lie ahead.
Jim & Janice Dahl (Lauren & Allie)- WorldVenture (Romania) Bible College
teacher. Jim teaches college classes in Theology & Apologetics. Janice has been
discipling women in their area along with teaching English to some village
children with their two girls.
Danh & Grace Tran- WorldVenture, (Connecticut & Vietnam) Pastor. Their
passion is to partner with churches and individuals in the U.S. who have a
burden to see that Vietnamese people in Vietnam and the U.S. have the
opportunity to hear the good news of Jesus Christ and respond to the call of
Christ upon their hearts. Their goal is to train and equip Vietnamese pastors
for the work of evangelism and church planting in Vietnam. Danh is currently
pastoring a Vietnamese church in the U.S.
Norman & Mary Brewer (Benjamin, Nathan and Bethany) - Baptist World Missions - are involved with church planting in Albania. Their three children grew up on the mission field and two are now attending college in the states.
Ralph & Ellen Shepard (Jeffrey, April, Marta, Anthony, & Mitch)- TEAM (in
transition to Mexico) Church planting. They have been training leaders and the
apprentices of their home fellowship groups while they recently served God in
Peru. One of their main roles is to develop a greater heart and vision for
evangelism. The Shepard's are getting ready to serve in Mexico.
John & Patty Himes- Baptist World Mission (Asahikawa, Hokkaido, Japan)
Church planters. The focus of their ministry is in evangelism, church planting,
working with a Bible Institute and Bible translation.
Missionary Evangelism to Corrections Saul and Karen Selby oversee Missionary Evangelism to Corrections, whose goal is to bring the Love of Christ to those in Twin Cities (St. Paul and Minneapolis) Jails. Based on Matthew 25:36 ("I was in prison and you came to me"), they are an non-denominational evangelical ministry which has been sharing "the gospel" in jails since 1983. They have established a relationship with the correctional systems (jails) in Anoka, Hennepin, Ramsey, Washington, and Scott Counties, along with some private jails. In these facilities they provide Worship Services, Bible Studies, Individual Christian counseling, and outreach activities through the efforts of dedicated volunteers from local churches. They minister to males, females, adults and juveniles, and try to direct them into a local church upon their release.
Roy & Betty Koopman- AWANA missionaries (Wisconsin). Their passion is to
bring the Gospel to children through evangelism, Bible verse memorizing, prayer,
fellowship & games and many others.
Jerry & Sherry Daniels - BBFI - have served as missionaries in Kenya since 1974, where they have had a part in establishing more than 50 churches in four distinct cultural groups. Their ministry includes Bible Colleges, Christian Schools, Youth Camps, Orphan care and discipleship.
Child Evangelism Fellowship- Greater St. Croix Area. This ministry
reaches out to evangelize children in our local area through a booth at the
fair, GoodNews Clubs, (some Clubs even meet in schools after hours.)
