A couple of weeks back, we got to spend time with the Krogsgaard family. Bernard and Logan stayed at our house with the girls and me while Nancy and Alicia participated in a retreat for missionary women. It was a good week of reconnecting and remembering together.
We had not seen the Krogsgaard family in almost 18 years. Bernard and Alicia were young missionaries and part of the church planting team we joined in Mexico City back in 1991. However, just as we were getting settled in Mexico City, they transitioned to life and ministry in Canada. During these years since, they have been involved in local ministry with churches in Canada, teaching at Western Christian in Saskatchewan and leading numerous “Let’s Start Talking” campaigns to mission fields all over the world. Last year, they joined a church planting team working in Lazaro Cardenas on the Pacific Coast of Mexico—about 6 hours or so from Guadalajara.
One of the things that impressed me while spending time with Bernard again is the value of investing one’s life in others—of modeling simple discipleship and encouraging others. Bernard did that for me over 18 years ago—and continued doing that as we reconnected. I wonder what God is doing with all the kingdom seeds that have been planted through Bernard’s and Alicia’s life.
We were blessed.
