On the road again

My second morning in Pakistan. Even though I left my home early Monday morning. I had to fly through Stockholm on my way here and what an interesting day it turned out to be. First my dad met me at the airport and we got to spend some time together. Great.

Then after dropping him of at the central station for a meeting I made my way to SOS Church on Kungsholmen. Once there I heard that Andreas G was meeting with the School of Leadership class and they were talking about Pakistan. So I sort of hijacked the class. Very fun indeed. They were all chocked by my entrance. I was able to answer many questions and I believe that this year will be a year of great harvest for Mission SOS and the Kingdom of God.

Later I spent the night at the Zuniga's home in Tumba before heading to the airport for my flight to Pakistan. I checked in to my hotel at 530 am on Thursday morning and was so disoriented time wise. I had a great day of rest.

Yesterday was very productive. I worked in my room all day and then we had a 2.5 hour planning meeting in the evening. The people working with us on the ground here are amazing. They left the meeting with a two page list of questions that I need answers to and they all left with a big smile.

Soon they will be back at my hotel and we will continue to work out all the loose ends and set up two great events here in Pakistan.

Tomorrow my friend and brother Daniel Elvelyck arrives to be at my side. Together we will work out the ground details and meet pastors and encourage them for the event.

God is up to something great in this nation.

I will post pictures in the coming posts.

C u soon!

Cartledge, Amritzer and Leake!

Today I framed three of my favorite quotes and put them in my kitchen so I can see them when I am doing dishes :). Ok, I know... You're dying to find out what they are;

God is a good God that does all things well...

- David and Marie Cartledge -

There are no closed places or impossible cases, only lack of love…

- Johannes Amritzer -

When I don’t know what to do, I chose to trust You…

- Jeff Leake -

Good eh?

Rescue the "Hudsons" of this World...

Watched this video clip tonight and was moved in my heart... God's focus, attention and love is all about reaching and rescuing those that no one cares for, sees or is focusing. The little ones, the ones without voice, the unreached.

Let 2011 be a year where you and I step outside the box, when we go the extra mile, give that extra gift, and pray that extra hour. Let this year be different, do something that you've never done before; why don't you start by going with us to Pakistan this spring or fall? Together we can reach and rescue some of the "Hudsons" of Pakistan and bring the Gospel message to these wonderful people that Jesus loves, bled, died and rose again for...

New Starts and Good Friends!

A new year is always exciting! New starts are fresh, makes you curious and awakes the adventurer in you. I am very excited about this year! I am so looking forward to all the Holy Spirit has in store for us, all He has on His agenda and is planning to do. I am praying to have open ears so I can listen to Him speak, understand His Word better and become a better disciple...

Praying and whispering with Jesus at the beginning of a new year is very special - I love those times - between the diaper changes, laundry that needs to be folded and dinners to be cooked - when I take time to stop, listen, pray and read His Word. Those moments are what matters most and what really makes the difference!

We have some great friends visiting for a few days; Ylva and Tommy Hamrén with their kids Felicia, Emilie, Isak and Joel. The Hamrén family means so much to us and we love spending time with them. They are great heroes in the Kingdom of God; their home in Stockholm is always open to everyone in need, they are pillars in both our church in Stockholm and SOS and we are truly honored to have them in our home! Yesterday we enjoyed Pittsburgh; Mt Washington, rode the incline, Station Square and South Side - the absolute best of the city!

Ylva and Tommy at Mt Washington!
