Remembering Bonnie Beuggert
August 2026
Encompass is mourning the passing of former colleague, Bonnie Beuggert, on August 10, 2026.
Bonnie served in the Philippines for several years before meeting Christian. After marrying, they served in the Philippines and Thailand for many years in church planting and equipping.
After leaving the field and returning to the States, Bonnie continued to serve with Encompass in a Special Assignment role in the Philippines and later as a part of our Member Care team.
Please pray for Christian and the family. May the Lord provide them the grace they need as they both grieve and rejoice in these days.
A celebration of life is planned for August 29 in Salem, Virginia. See Bonnie's full obituary for details.
