  • Writing a new book

    We have had a wonderful Easter conference! The days have been so full that I have not found time to blog! But he main reason may be that every free second I have been using in writing a new book. I have been so taken up with this new project that it has been consuming all my time!

    Today we are going to Jæren to meet our son, David, and his family, as well as my brothers and Solveig’s sisters. I am not sure if I will be able to connect with the Internet before I am back in Bergen Sunday night! But I hope I will be connected in one way or the other!

  • God’s purpose for his world

    Yesterday morning Arne Skagen and Terje Dahle ministered in the seminars. In the evening gathering Keri Jones was ministering the Word of God.

  • Launch out into the deep

    A good number of people were gathered for the opening meeting in our Easter conference last night. It was so good to meet friends, hugging and kissing, expressing brotherly love.

  • Easter conference starts today

    In a few hours our Easter conference starts. We expect people from all around Norway to attend. We also know that several wonderful believers from Finland will join us as well as some from Sweden.

    We expect the Holy Spirit to move powerfully among us. We expect God to gloryfy himself in our midst. We want to step out of the comfort zone and allow the wind of heaven to carry us away to places where we have never been!

  • A day of rest

    It is Monday and a day of rest! I have just been enjoying the presence of God. I have been reading, meditating, praying, walking, climbing a small mountain and writing an entry in my blog. I have had a day of rest!

  • Velsigna vere Herren!

    Det er palmesøndag! Dei religiøse likte ikkje at barna og læresveinane song og dansa av glede medan dei hylla Jesus. Då Jesus dette til dei: ”Har de ikkje lese?” Så synte han dei at Skrifta er full av oppmodingar til takkseiing, lovsong og lovprising av Gud.

    Salmisten seier at Gud har lagt ein ny song i vår munn. Det er sjølvsagt rett å lova Gud for hans velgjerningar mot oss. Jesus sa at om  vi teier skal steinane ropa!

    Vi trur med hjarta og sannar med munnen, då vert det vårt, det vi seier (Rom.10,19-10)! Vi trur difor talar vi! Vi talar, fordi vi har den Anden som gjev tru (2.Kor.4,13). Fordi Gud har sagt noko, kan vi vere trygge og seia noko i samsvar med ordet frå Gud (Hebr.13,5-6).

  • Update on Rama

    I have just received a heartbreaking report on Rama, the girl with the desire to help her community, that we met in Machilipatnam. Solveig and will take responsibility for giving her a proper education. Hopefully she will become a doctor who will save children’s lives among the Yanandi tribe. The help will be given with no strings attached!

  • Problems at Typepad

    Yesterday I was trying hard to connect to Typepad without success! Amasingly they seem to have problems at Typepad. It is very dissapointing, but I take it as a reminder that there are many flaws in everything that is invented by men.

    God is the only reliable person in the world and his Kingdom never has a breakdowm!

  • Some pastors are still praying

    This morning I met with some very faithful pastors for prayer. We were only 8 servants of God gathered for prayer this morning, but we had a good time. I know that several of those who use to be there were away from town. Personally I have been away quite a lot recently and therefore I have not been able to meet with my brothers for prayer.

    I was blessed to be together with these faithful prayer champions this morning. I am convinced that their prayers means a lot to the city of Bergen.
