Norsk medarbetare befordrad till härligheten.

Vi har via vårt norska systerkontor för Trosgnistans mission i Bergen fått det smärtsamma beskedet att Wenke Mikkelsen efter en tids sjukdom fått lägga ned sin vandringstav. Wenke Mikkelsen har betytt oerhört mycket för Trosgnistans utveckling i Norge. Hon har vänner i runt om i världen. Genom sitt stora engagemang för barnen har hon en stor familj.

David Duveskog besökte Norge för någon månad sedan och fick tillfälle att var tillsammans med Wenke och hennes make Per-Svein. Wenke var då märkt av sin sjukdom men undersökningarna visade då att sjukdomen var på tillbakagång. Att få bryta upp vid 53 års ålder är allt för tidigt, men Guds klocka går inte alltid i takt med vår. Nu ser vi fram emot ett nytt möte i ett land utan sjukdom och lidande. Tack Wenke för den tid vi fick ha dig i vår gemenskap. Våra tankar går till Per-Svein och familjen.

Dear partners and friends !

As you all know did our dear mission secretary in Trosgnisten Norway Wenche Mikkelsen was sick last august.  The doctors then discovered a bad brain cancer.  
After this time her situation developed positive. Last Sunday she and her husband Per Svein Mikkelsen attended the church. We did also plan for her to start up some part time work at the mission office.

On Thursday 1st of may she became urgently sick. The situation became more critical during the evening and night. The morning after the doctors said that they could not do anything more. In the evening Per Svein and their three daugthers Veronica, Maj Beate and Janne, together with Wenches mother were together with her. They were praying and singing the song “Amazing Grace". During the song Wenche entered into the Eternal Glory to receive her rewards. Wenche would soon be 53 years.

Wenche had a big heart for all the sponsored children. She was mother for three girls in Norway , but also a mother to thousands of children in our mission countries.
Wenche was a key worker in Trosgnisten mission and we miss her so much. After her death, heaven have become richer, but the worlds is poorer.

The funeral will be held on Thursday the 8th of may. Thank you for all your love and prayers. We specially would desire for you to remember her husband Per Svein and the close family in this time of grief.

Yours in deep sorrow
