Dear friends,
It has been a while since I wrote something. Most likely because I have had some time off with my family and been out boating in our beautiful archipelago. I needed some space after our long journey in Sweden. Me and my wife also celebrated our 31st anniversary and she joined me that evening on a boat ride.
Last weekend we visited the church in Muurame for two days together. On Saturday we were together with a wonderful team from the church outside the local Halpa Halli supermarket and we had a good day. The weather forecast showed rain the entire time but we had no rain during the time spent there. It started to rain as we had packed our gear and went inside for a meal together.
It was not the first time we experienced this. I believe it for real that God is keeping the rain away when we are out there telling people about Jesus. I am constantly trying to find easy ways to explain the Gospel to people and it is amazing how the word of God is alive. You get new revelations when you read the Bible and just recently I got a good back up for the slogan ”it is all about Jesus”.
In Ephesians 1:8-10 it is all clear:
"With all wisdom and understanding, he made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ, to be put into effect when the times reach their fulfillment—to bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ."
We slept on the church parking lot in the bus and on Sunday it was time for the church event. They had hot dogs, popcorn and food outside the church before the gathering. This was also the first time I met Lauri ”Late” Johansson and his wife Mia in real life. A wonderful couple doing lots of good work. Google their name and find out a very powerful story of another changed life. The first Bible figure that comes to mind when I think about brother Lauri is the Apostle Paul.
We had a wonderful service in a wonderful church and we drove home after the church service. I left Muurame with only good feelings in my heart. It means so much to me to see a church with the heart of God like the church of Muurame. Focus on Jesus and rooted in the word of God. No nonsense but pure love from above.
Now we are home until mid September when we are heading south. Friday September 13th we are in the Pentecostal Church in Porvoo on their ”Hard Gospel Cafe” and on Saturday September 14th at a garden party event at the Betania church in Sipoo. September 17th I will do a school visit here in Vasa and September 18th or 19th we are heading back to Sweden.
We are currently booking Sweden and I am excited to get out there again with our Gospel Express bus and tell people where ever we are that it is all about Jesus! He is the author and finisher of our faith. Without Jesus there is no salvation, forgiveness of sins or eternal life. God made it simple so that all people could understand.
If you have tried to send e-mails to us, we apologize for that our e-mails being out of order. We are working on the problem and the e-mail server should soon be working again. We do not want to change our addresses as we had the same addresses for a long time. Keep us in your prayers! He, Jesus died for us and we live for Him. It is all about Jesus!
We are also booking dates in Germany for the spring and we have a good foundation already now. Lots of things are going on and we hope you all will stand behind us in prayers for the future. Now as we are between two tours I will take some time off and get out in our beautiful archipelago.
God Bless You All!
