I thought I would


give you a solid update now. I leave soon (I will get to this), and I am more aware of the schedule and what is going on around me and what it consist of.

Since I have been here, in this short amount of time, lots of great things have happened. Weather it be salvations (2), healings (17), or just building new friendships around the community (tons). God is doing great work in this city. I am looking forward to what is going to happen in the coming time.

While I am here, I have lectures everyday from 8:30am-2:30 pm, after that we have different things going on depending on the day and your involvement in the community. For example yesterday we went and did a thing called treasure hunting, which is such a cool testimony. You pray to God to show you a person aka treasure, with details like: name, appearance, place, needs, or anything unusual. Lots of really cool stuff has happened.

In the next few weeks I will give you more updates on what is going on here, and with details about who I will be working with and for what purposes and so on.

On Monday morning though, I will heading off to Oslo with the whole base here for an event called Nations to Nations. There will be some teachings there and then me and the people I am with will lead about 150-200 people in Evangelism in the city of Norway for a week. Then come back and have a "team week" where we will do more evangelism and ministry in the town of Skein and the University of Telemark. The week after that we go to England and have some more lectures and then we will lead another huge group of students in evangelism in london. It will be crazy the next few weeks.

Things here are great and such a challenge, exactly what I expect. Oh! I found out today that my outreach (February-April) will be in Berlin, Germany. I will give more details about that later!

Thanks so much for your prayers and support. Holy cow, thanks.

Keep praying though for great revelation for non christians and christians alike here and that God will use me and grow me while I am here. : )

Thank you so much.

Whew....

Well....Norway is beautiful. Very very very beautiful. I guess its the whole feeling of being in a totally new environment.....with new food too.

Sorry about the delay though, I wanted to wait so I could give you a more solid update instead of many smaller ones. I don't want to be your spam.

This weekend we went on a get to know you trip to a log cabin. There are nine of us. I am the youngest and I am the only american. It was great getting to know everybody. My roomates are three other guys: Craig from England who is 28, Robert from Holland who is 22, and then T-Bear (I don't know how to pronouce or say his real name) who is 21 I think from Norway. Interesting mix. Then you have the girls, who are all from Norway. Also one older guy here who is 38, Kenneth.

I have all the funds I need, God is great, and with no doubt He would provide for me. He def did.
I still need your prayers though, this is going to be the most challenging time in my life so far with no doubt about it. We went over the schudele for the next nine months and holy cow. I don't know where to begin, but this is the place where I am suppose to be right now and its the right thing. No doubt. All I know is I need to wake up, obey God, and everything will be okay. Thats easier said than done at times though.

I will update agian a little bit later!
