in picture left-right (Frederik, Kristin, Knut, Barbro) We went to Restenas, Sweden to celebrate the 50th anniversary of YWAM. All of northern Europe YWAM, got together for a five day conference to celebrate. I took my first fairy ride across the Northern Sea, and all I have to say about that is I'm not a huge fan of those boats, they rock way to much for my taste. During the conference the Cunninghams (founders of YWAM) came and spoke to us for 2 days. And it was so encouraging to hear. Loren is such a powerful speaker and a really funny guy. We learned what was going on in Nigeria and how the Government has asked YWAM to step in and rehabilitate the militants coming out cause they don't know how to rehabilitate them. So they asked YWAM and so many people are being saved coming out from the militants. Praise God! he gave us a wide open door into Nigeria and its so amazing to see the hand of God work in there. During the conference I was really challenged to take the next step in my relationship with Jesus... And so I did and it has been incredibly fruitful. The lord has really been putting on my heart Eugene to pray for it, that Jesus might be known there again. I just encourage everyone to be praying for Eugene cause it needs it so much.
I'm so excited to be here in Norway cause I know God has called me here to know him more and then to make him known here in Norway and else where in the world. This week i just learned what it means to listen to God, And I just encourage everyone to take apart of their day and just truly seek the presence of the lord. Jesus says:
"For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened" Luke 11:10
And if you truly just ask Jesus to to show himself to you he will, I know it is so. So i just encourage everyone to just listen to him he's speaking to you right now, were just not always listening.
Tonight me and my friends felt like god was calling us out to go and talk to someone, so we took a step in faith. We walked around for a bit and ended up talking to this group of Afghanistan refugees. They were awesome guys, One of them started asking us why are we talking to us(not in a rudely way, cause people dont usually talk to strangers here) So we told them, one of them was interested in knowing more and he wants to meet up with us to know more. another door opened up to share our faith with this muslim man. They said were not like the other Christians, we have joy in us.
I just wanted to share that story with you guys, but yeah School starts Monday and the first teacher is from Salem, Oregon woot! woot!
I just want to leave you guys with this.
