NARVIK

okey, I start from the beginning.
Last week was kind of crazy. Honestly. Annika went down to Oslo for YWAM Norway leadership conference and we had teaching about "Spiritual Warfare". Every single day during last week we had lots of dance, drama, preparing and so many extra things! One evening we spent almost 3,5 hours to practice dance and in the end we finally learned it! All this practice and preparation was because of a local outreach in Narvik coming up in the weekend. We also celebrated Bex's birthday on Wednesday! We woke up 5am in the morning and woke her up with some pan cakes and singing - and she thought that was all.. no way! We had organized a surprise party for her in the evening! That was some fun :)

At the end of the week Oyvind (my outreach leader/staff/friend) came to visit us and it was so good to see him! It was just too bad that there were not too many people at the base and we were just running around ALL THE TIME. I think we worked from 7am until 10.30pm the whole week without too long breaks. But that's how it goes! :) and we survived!! Then on Friday we took off to Narvik! Most of the people from Borgen were involved with this weekend we had in Narvik : 3 churches had organized a fellowship weekend with many meetings, seminars, children meetings and youth meeting. We were so blessed by the people there and got to bless the churches and got good opportunities to encourage people and especially the few young people they have in the church. On Sunday we had an exciting drive ( accidents on the road, ambulances, huge trucks, blinking lights, dirty windows, slippery roads, saw dangerous passings) back home and we thanked and praised God for His protection and angles with us!

Now we have settled down home and are back in the normal routines. This week we have teaching about "Relationships".. good stuff. I will have my day off tomorrow and I am so thankful for that! Now it's really getting to the point that we are starting to get ready for the outreach to Mali.. and I also wanted to ask you to stand together with us in this. The financial situation for some of our staff and students is not very good. We are struggling to get the outreach money. We are booking the tickets to Mali soon and I am trusting God to show His faithfulness once again! :) He has showed it to me so many times. We believe God has called us, our team, to go to North-Africa, next January for coming 3 months and spread His love and message for those people and especially for those street children there. Wow.. I am so excited to see what God has prepared for that time and how we can serve Him in TIMBUKTU! GO GOD! So here we go.. please, remember us in your prayers!! We a great week!
