Updates

Upgrades!

Sean Rogers

The Rogers family is Upgrading!

Since we moved to Norway, our friends have been allowing us to use this small electric car. It has a range of about 10 miles so it has been helpful in getting us around locally, getting groceries, getting to the local train station, and getting to the YWAM base. As much of a blessing as this little blue beast has been, it has had its limits.

So now, its time for some upgrades.

For the first time since we've lived in Europe (about 8 years), we find it necessary to get a car of our own.

  • In our previous locations we had access to cheap public transport. But now, in a more rural location with a longer commute, the need for a car of our own has manifested. 
  • We used to be able to get by with the occasional car rental with an American driver's license. Now, because of the frequency we actually have to drive places on our own, it has finally become necessary with our residence permit that Sean get an actual European license!
  • Our family of 3 just barely fits into the little blue car we've had access to. With an addition of a second child, we won't be able to squeeze in. 
  • We definitely cannot fit a stroller into the blue car. To actually travel together as a family anywhere we need a larger vehicle. 
  • Our hospital is a little bit further away, beyond the range of this small electric car, so while we have the possibility of borrowing a friends car as an emergency option, we really need a car capable of driving normal distances. 
  • The ministry we've been able to connect with has a safe house near of Oslo.  We've been able to get away with using the train to commute to Oslo, but we have been invited to stay and work at safe-house, as a family, for a couple weekends a month. With the expense, and multiple journey legs, involved in getting there with this frequency, having a car would make this trip much more doable .

We ask that you please consider partnering with us with special financial gifts towards the cost of exchanging the drivers license and towards the purchase of a car. 

Drivers license costs could vary: right now my practical test to finalize my Norwegian license is in a city about an hour away. For the test, you have to take a driving lesson and rent a "driving school car" (one with pedals for the driving instructor in the passenger seat). If I can find an appointment in a closer city, and reschedule it, it could be a little cheaper. If an earlier time in the nearby town does not become available: my current appointment on August 27th. The cost for a license will be anywhere from about $750 to about $850 depending on the exchange rate. 

We are also looking to by a used car. Here in Norway it looks like we could find a worthwhile older car for between $2000 and $4000. 

All and all, for this transition to being a European driver, we are hoping to raise around $5000.

Please prayerfully consider being a part of facilitating this need. Obviously it would be a blessing to us as a family, but our hope is that it will allow us to be a greater blessing to others as well!

Thanks for all your prayers and support in this season!

Sean, Theresa, and Ella
