Good Summer for Us

THANK YOU for praying for our July vacation time in the US visiting, Molly, our granddaughter, John’s 90 year-old mother, and other family. The trip was great and like most vacations too short.

The Government has requested people not to use air conditioning to conserve limited electrical power. In public buildings the temperature has been set…

Rebuild Homes by Christmas

Well this certainly is the new normal as our mission has had increased activity on the disaster response front. We have moved from distributing goods, cleaning up, to building, and now a few steps from permanent ministry.

These include Bethlehem Baptist Minneapolis (John…

This PowerPoint video outlines relief ministry of Converge Worldwide and specifically John & Elaine Mehn designed to bring hope to victims of these terrible disasters.

Things have changed at least on the surface, much has been cleaned up, more things are working but it is far from normal.…

Intensive Prayer July ’11

Japan is not the same and may never be again. We in Christian work talk about this being the “new normal.” What we will be doing in Japan has already changed and probably will continue to change. Four months after the triple disasters there are still many without their homes, many are still to be found, and people continue to suffer physically and emotionally. But the good news is that spiritually people are very open.…
