Saturday in Rauma
Me and my youngest daughter Jeannette drove to Rauma together after her school was over for this season and she got her hollidays. We had plenty of time and our first stop was at Frank Mangs Center in Närpes, from where I do my work. Frank Mangs Center is the heritage of evangelist Frank Mangs who was one of the biggest evangelists in finnish history and this organisation is also the organisation who is taking care of me and sending me out on my missions. Good people, a great organisation and a passion for GOD. This summer they are having a theater based om Mark about Jesus life, death and resurection. You should definiteley check it out.

On our way from Närpes we stopped a couple of times as it was also a very important day together with my daughter and we saw cows on a field and we got so fascinated of them so we decided to stop and take some pictures.
On our last stop before Rauma, 150 kilometers from home we took a coffe break at a nice coffe shop and I could never belive who showed up while we were drinking coffee and eating icecream. Yes, it was my brother Boris and his wife Alfhild from my church in Kvevlax outside Vasa. As I haven´t been visiting my church so much lately because of different reasons they asked me if they have to drive this far to see me. To me it was a blessing meeting them there and it was also a sign from GOD. Boris was one of those who dropped everything he had in his hands the night my brother and friend Ben Antell took me to this church for the first time ever. This church came to be my spiritual home and because of this church I am where I am today. Thank you Jesus for my church and for Boris and his wife Alfhild, wonderful people.
In Rauma the people had managed to get around 80 unsaved souls in the same room to listen to worship and me speaking about the wonders and miracles GOD have done in my life. The trick was to give them free food after the meeting and I am telling you, it was off the hook. I got to pray for several people and one lady gave her life to Christ. Again GOD showed up in a mighty way and I am still amazed that GOD is using someone like me who did almost everything to screw up my life and others lives not too long ago. Here we see how amazing GODS grace and love is.
After the meeting we drove back home and on the way back we found my brother and friend, the vicar from the church in Kaskö Tom Ingvesgård. A mighty man of GOD and a great brother. We did some smalltalking and you can watch a short videoclip of our talk here.
On fire for Jesus in Vasa
On sunday it was the second time I visited Keidasseurakunta in Vasa. Another great church with a movement of GOD going on. I could feel it in the air immediately when I came into their new fascilities.
It was a priviledge to me to speak here this sunday night and I was so happy that two of my daughters joined me. I thought I was going to give the oridinary message, my testimony but GOD had something different in mind.
GOD showed me how important it is that we take care of our families and all of a sudden I was sitting there on my chair with my guitar in my hand telling the people about how bad I have been and how I have mistreated my wife and my kids by not being there for them for many years. I told them how I did not take care of our home before and how I just thought of my own ego. I had never ever talked about these things in public before and as I still is feeling shame about these things there are not many people who know about these things until GOD now told me to lay it all out there and share about how HE is helping me to bring in HIS light in our relations and in our home.
It is not easy to have been an alcholic and drug addict for many long years. Things are still messed up and I was blind but now I can see. As I started to work on our relations and also doing practical things in our home I have felt how GOD has been and is with me in everything I do. Imagine that GOD have given me supernatural talents to do woodworks and other stuff in our house. Things I never done before. I can just tell you that I am sad that it took me this long to realise that family always goes first and now I know why GOD have been pointing this out to me so many times. Better late than never.
I got to pray for people this night as well and GOD did so many things in people that I am not going to write about them here. Also I think it is up to those who GOD is touching to share about what HE have done in their lifes.
I am happy and blessed to be alive and something is breaking off inside of me. I am not only loosing weight, I am also loosing lots of old things that I have had inside of my and I am ready to pay the price and repent from everything that can stand in the way for me coming closer to GOD. GOD loves me and my family and this is the message of today. HE loves you too and IF you have issues within your family, give them to HIM. HE will deal with it and I promise you; GOD is good all the time.
Off to Sweden
Next weekend I am flying over for a quick visit to Sweden. I will be speaking in the finnish Pentecostal churches in Borås and Göteborg friday-sunday and I am looking forward to this. GOD is on a move and HE knows what will happen next. I am excited!
Love you all!
Pontus
