Sunday I had the privilege of visiting a growing emergent church in Nordhordland. It was a great joy to be with this wonderful group of people who are pursuing the Lord and seek to bless their community. They are meeting in a gymnasium at a public school which they decorate in a beautiful way.
Bente, a housewife and flower-decorator, welcomed us all to the gathering with her friendly smiles and insightful explanation of the flower decoration on the altar table in front of the congregation.
Sissel, a housewife and nurse, took us into praise and worship. Morten, pastor and nurse, also gave us a warm welcome. Magnar, elder and farmer, took the offering and gave some useful information. Many others participated in different ways in thanksgiving and exhortations.
At the end I was asked to come and share what the Lord had put on my heart, which I did with great joy!
The church is bursting with life. The people seemed to enjoy being together. There was a very friendly atmosphere. New-comers were included in a good way and would easily feel at home.

Hi Erling.
As a church we are going through “40 Days of Purpose Life” by Rick Warren. I am personally so excited. God is building foundations by the purposes he gave us.
Two weeks ago we had the movie “The Passion” in our local Cinema. We have been alowed to give a short message before the movie started. And we had some people there who had the possibility to talk to those who wanted to ask questions.
Isn’t it a wonderful time? In our local cinema there have been two movies at the same time: One was: “The Passion” the other was “Martin Luther”.
Lots of greetings from

Good to hear from you again! God is good! We are indeed living in exciting times! I am so thankful to the Lord that we am able to serve him in a time like this. The Kingdom of God is advancing all over the world!
