Dear friends,
I have a happening week behind me. Last thursday I visited Karismakoti in Siuntio and held a meeting for the interns. Karismakoti is a Christian alternative to rehabilitation for drug and alcohol addicts and I can tell you that God is doing miracles there. God sent me to this place the first time a month ago when I took a friend of mine there who is in need of help. After one month I returned and for the first time ever I saw joy in my friend and I am thankful for the people serving the Lord there. When we are in addictions and when we are sick there are of course medicine and other things. When we speak about deliverance and addictions there is no medicine that works, the person need to be set free. The only right way is Jesus as the one the Son sets free is free indeed and this we have seen so many times.
From Siuntio I continued for one day in Helsinki and on Saturday I was invited to speak at a place called The Ramp. I knew it was a youth place but I did not know that it was a skateboard hall. When I entered the building from a back yard I first did not know if I was at the right place. When I walked thru the doors I came into this noisy and loud hall filled with kids skateboarding. I wondered how in the world this is going to work but since it was God's will to speak to these people they all listened and after the meeting we got to pray for quite many witch is unusual at event like this. A couple of people gave their lives to Jesus and others needed prayer for strength. The youth is really on my heart today and I have written it before. They youth are not doing well in todays world and it is totally different from the time when I was young. We need to be there for the children and young people and we need to encourage them to be children as long as they can. Even if we live in this world with so much darkness everyone has the right to be a child. I am thankful for God opening doors where I can speak and minister to the youth.
On Sunday I spoke at Vapaakirkko in Hyvinkää and it was a very good meeting in the presence of God.
Last night I spent some time in the studio and I was especially happy to have my son Sebastian with me as assistant sound engineer. I recorded some of my life stuff unplugged and I am very happy with the result. God has really blessed me in music lately and I am looking forward to get back out on the roads.
Future times
This coming weekend will be another happening weekend. On friday I start with meetings from early morning and I will have the privilege to speak to a school in Pomarkku, Finland in three different groups, the seventh grade, eight grade and the ninth grade. In the evening we have a youth meeting in the local Pentecostal Church. Looking forward to speak to the youth.
Saturday and Sunday I am invited to Christ Fellowship Church in Riihimäki and Saturday night is Youth Night. Sunday afternoon at 4PM Sunday church. Monday off in Helsinki and Tuesday morning I fly to Malaga in Spain to serve the Lord as an Ambassador For Jesus Christ together with Gospel Riders Espana and CMA. Looking forward to this and I hope the sun will be shining down there, it is raining here.
October is getting there. Saturday October 8th I will be together with Pastor Tommy Lilja at Filadelfia in Porvoo and on Sunday October 9th we are in Andreaskyrkan in Helsinki. Looking forward to serve the Lord together with Pastor Tommy who also is my Bible teacher and mentor.

October 14th it is time for another "Life in Him" event, this time in the youth house in Laihia. It is awesome with so many youth meetings and I guess it is because God has putted the youth on my heart. End of the month I am traveling first to Sölvesborg, Sweden for a conference and to Södertälje, Sweden for a one night meeting before I jump on the plane in Stockholm and fly to Houston, Texas.
Mission America 2011
In USA we will first attend The Lonestar Rally in Galveston, Texas and this will be my fourth year at the rally. Our ministry over in USA have also set up meetings for me during my stay and me and brother Samuel Eby have decided to do what the Apostles did so we also can get what the Apostles got during a five day long road trip of Texas. They also have young people in Texas and november 11th we are doing a youth night in San Antonio and from there we continue through Fort Stockton to El Paso and a short visit to Juarez, Mexico. Meetings are getting confirmed along the road but our main mission during these days is to take the Gospel to the streets, like the Apostles did. There will also be some meetings for the homeless and for the alcoholics in Houston, Texas and under the bridges.
From Houston, Texas I fly to Milford, Ohio for one meeting before I end my Mission America 2011 trip in Florida. Dates are being confirmed and God is opening doors. IF you feel led by The Holy Spirit to be a happy giver you are more than welcome to sow into the work we do for the Kingdom. We need to print tracts and cd:s we are going to give away. We need gas and lodging and we also might need to eat on the road. Our goal is to raise 3000 euros before the end of September. Pray with us! We believe in a breakthrough during this trip and we are looking forward for everything to come.
