| Bruce & Laurie Johnson |
 |
|
| We submitted to God's call and the missionary field of Honduras in June of 1995. The BMDMI Board of Directors gave us their approval July 23, 1995. By December '95 we were headed for a year long stay in Costa Rica at language school... that covered all of 1996. With that test of our faith and courage behind us we arrived as missionaries to Honduras in 1997. By God's grace, and for His glory, we are still serving today. |
| Laurie started, and runs, the Good Shepherd Christian Education Center located on the grounds of the Good Shepherd Children's Home property. Laurie reaches the children of the Home as well as the surrounding community with God's grace through education.
Bruce is involved in the construction efforts of BMDMI, functions as the mission's Webmaster, writes Excel accounting software, and has a Photo Ministry to the Short Term Mission Teams. |
