HE IS ALIVE!!!

We are still celebrating easter and we rejoice that our Lord Jesus Christ is alive. The fact that He is alive is our hope and our future as He is the only way to the Father and to eternal life. For so God loved the world that He sent His begotten Son, so whoever believes in Him shall be saved and have eternal life. (John 3:16)

For the fourth year in a row I visited Pastor Tommy Lilja's church, Folkkyrkan in Sölvesborg, Sweden for their easter conference. Wonderful worship different speakers and the presence of Jesus is what you get during these conferences. Daytime I was working with PTL Global TV and the material we filmed during our last PTL Crusade in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia and I attended the evening services during the conference.

Buck Hudson was one of the speakers and he had such a wonderful message. I got to share and sing on Friday night and Saturday morning and after being in the house of the Lord for some days I started to wonder how those peoples lives are being changed when they come to a conference with such a presence and such an uplifting theme and teachings about how you become who you are in Christ. This is something that is very important and now we celebrated Jesus resurrection and we know that He is alive. What blows my mind away is that the word of God says that the same power that raised Jesus from the dead dwells within us believers. Jesus, Himself promised that we shall do even greater things than the wonders, signs and miracles He did while He was walking on earth. This is powerful and it is the truth!

We left Sölvesborg after I had shared and sung on Saturday morning as we were invited to be at the Pentecostal Church in Värnamo during they weekend celebrations. Saturday night was a pot luck party where I got to sing and share parts of my testimony and it was a wonderful atmosphere, lots of people and good food.

Yesterday (Sunday) morning we were invited to visit the Pentecostal Church in Marieholm, not far away from Värnamo and on our way there our car started to vibrate really hard. It was impossible to drive more than 80 km/hour. It was nice to meet Pastor Benny Gustafsson and we had a wonderful service in this small community. Actually I am amazed over how many came to church as there are only 200 people living in that village so the % of people attending church has to be high and this means that they are doing something right.

Praise God for Brother Reidar in this church who took a look at our car and discovered that one of the front tires were not round anymore. Thats why it was vibrating so now we are using the spare tire and the car runs like brand new again. We are getting new tires when we get to Germany.

Yesterday afternoon we attended the Sunday service at the Pentecostal Church in Värnamo and I shared my testimony and sang some songs. Another wonderful meeting with lots of wonderful people in the presence of Jesus. To hear the words "welcome back" when we leave is just a sign of that God is with us. It has nothing to do with me or anything what I do, it is all about Him; Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior.

Today we are continuing to Trelleborg where I will meet a cousin I haven't met in 20 years. From there we are taking the over night ferry to Rostock, Germany and the German tour starts. We start with two days together with ERF TV who are going to do two programs about the wonderful things Jesus has done in my life. After that our two week tour of Germany starts and the updated schedule is:

After our last meeting in Dresden May 8th we are heading towards Warsaw, Poland where we are going to pick up Brother Michael Roberts who is flying in from Canada. First we are going to visit Auswitch as that is one of Brother Michaels dream to visit the place and sit there and pray for the victims who died there.

Our first Men of Hope meeting will be in Salzburg, Austria, May 13th and from there we are heading back home to Finland for two weeks with Michael. We have the privilege to have him with us for one and a half month and after Finland we are returning to Sweden and Germany and when the tour is over I am going to have one month off at home together with my family.

We serve the risen Jesus Christ. He is alive and what we do is to bring forth the message about hope and salvation in Him. He is the same, yesterday, today and forever! Please remember us in your prayers that God will move in the meetings and pray for a harvest that will become new disciples of Christ. Also pray for our families at home as well as our financial needs. We are still short on the budget for our tours but we believe in the blessing of giving and that God is our provider. YOU can be part of this work by praying or supporting us.

God Bless you all!

Jesus IS Alive!
