Last night was a very important night for me. It was three years since I for the first time visited my church, Kvevlax Missionskyrka. Because of this church and my friend Ben Antell who had told me about Jesus and prayed for me I could open my heart for my Lord and Saviour and let him in. It was here they gave me love when I needed it and it was here they took care of me when I was down. It was also here where I got bapized and here I get my spiritual food every wednesday night. I love my brothers and sisters and this church is one of a kind and I have never felt the same kind of love in any other church.
Many of you know that I left the church for stupid reasons early last year and moved to another church. Last year was filled with frustration until I found out that it was my flesh that med the decision to change church. Again they accepted me into their family and forgave me and I am not planning to leave this church again. Our flesh is our biggest enemy and I am also thankful for that the other pastors understood that my heart was still in this church. They really have to know God.
Last night I celebrated three years together with brothers and sisters and many other people who came to listen to the awesome meeting. I am really honored to have such great friends in the choir who sang and my brother Sven Rönnlund and his wife Lise did also sing. They are all such great people filled with Gods love. A sister from sweden took care of the translations to finnish as many who came were finnish speaking people. Also that was a prayer answer as I did not have everything for the night in order but God is taking care of things when we dont have control.
I was also happy to see so many Ambassador brothers showing up this wonderful night. Our ministry is growing and last night Jussi Mustikkamaa, Kjell Juthnäs, David Ekfors, Patric Sjölander, Sebastian Back and of course me where sitting down together to make plans for this new year. Only one of us could not attend but we know that our brother Israel Stenman is doing good and that he is with us. He is one of our strongest links in the Pori area and I will soon hook up with him when I drive by. Our ministry is not based on the number of members but the quality of the members is the most important as we are called to be out there for Jesus at places normal people never would be. We know that when we have our colors on we are also dressed with the armor of God. We are all looking forward to the coming biker season but before that we need to be here and there and we are excited to get the printings of the new Biker Bibles soon. We are still short of money so IF you feel called to sow into this ministry dont hesitate to conatct me or pastor Ulf Mannebäck from Church on Wheels Sweden.
A great surprise was two mighty men of God who came this night. A brother from Sweden that I met at the Midwinter week youth conference this week came and gave his testimony. He used to be a bad gang leader and was forced to do one of the most horrible crimes a man can do when he had an encounter with Jesus that saved not only his life. His name is Naiel and I am so looking forward to hook up with him again when I return to Stockholm, Sweden next month.
Another surprise were my brother Janne Mäki who I came in contact with over Facebook and his family who drove all the way from Jyväskylä to be at my anniversary last night. Another divine connection with a soldier for Christ with a heart filled with fire and a passion for the lost. I am so excited for these people that God sends in my way. This is how God is building his church.
Over all the anniversary was an awesome night where we again could feel the love and presense of God and His Spirit poured out on all the people who came. You feel it in your bones when people are getting touched and I am getting hungry for more of this feeling. I feel that this new year will be a great year for the Kingdom of God and I am exited about all that is to come.
Some of you might know that I have got a new work as well and to work together with Mika and Sanna at Amplisonic Oy and Carparelli Guitars is another prayer answer for me. I am sure that this would never had happen without God and we all need to work for our daily living. I am so happy that I can have a job where I also can do what I am doing to spread the Gospel meanwhile working and now there is nothing that can stop me from moving forward with both my personal ministry, the Ambassadors For Jesus Christ and Church on Wheels. I am also sure that Carparelli guitars are walking towards a great future worldwide as now GOD is involved!
There are some meetings in Finland in january before I jump on the plane to go to South Carolina, USA for almost a week on the Fresh Fire USA Healing School. I am so looking forward to that. If you are interested you still have a chance to register to a special price until the end of this year. Check out the website here!
After USA we are returning to Sweden to hold three meetings in The Finnish Pentecostal Church in Stockholm and one meeting at St. Klara Kyrka in Stockholm. I am looking forward to return to Sweden also because I will be visiting dealers for my new work and at night I will preach the gospel. We are also going to film a live DVD with the songs from the Ride To Freedom album in Stockholm together with clips and thoughts about my rough road. This DVD will hopefully be released in april 2010 with english, swedish and finnish subtitles. It will also be available on-line for free! Just so all those who dont have a chance to come to the meetings can be at a meeting and listen to the amazing things God have done at home or may be at school, imagine that!
For news about our schedule check the calendar page, it is changing all the time and as I said next year will be something different. It will be off the hook as we are also planning to do two weeks of meetings with revivalist Jeff Garvin in april in Finland and Sweden. More information about that will follow.
Stay Blessed!
