Dear Network Family:
It’s with a sad and heavy heart that I write this email.
Yesterday afternoon our beloved Pastor Randy Bjerken and his wife Doris, of Matanuska Assembly in Palmer, were walking on the street when a motorist lost control of the vehicle and ran them over. They were out of State when the accident occurred. Please remember their children Christopher, Corey, Courtney and Kenzie. Also, we need to uphold the Matanuska church family in prayer while they process this loss and minister to the Bjerken children.
The church has asked us to organize a prayer service at Matanuska Assembly for this evening at 7 PM. If you are in Southcentral Alaska please feel free to join us for this time of reflection and prayer.
This is a great loss for the Bjerken family, Matanuska Assembly and the Alaska Ministry Network. Human words are not sufficient to bring understanding in an hour of such tragic loss. So, let me remind us of the words of the Psalmist: “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” Psalm 46:1; and the words of Christ: “Blessed are they that mourn, for they shall be comforted.” Matt 5:4.
We will communicate with you as we have further information.
You are loved,
Bill Welch
Superintendent
