I was reading the words of the apostle Paul this morning: “The longing of my heart and my prayer to God is for the people of Israel to be saved.”

There is a very close connection between the longing of my heart and my prayer to God. This truth runs throughout the entire Bible. God is the only one that can fulfil the longing of the human heart. He has created us for himself and we find no rest or satisfaction but in him. The longing for the heart is always expressed in prayers to God.

As Solveig and I are in Fosen on a mission, the longing of our hearts and our prayers are for the precious people of this coastal area to be saved. We are soon leaving our hotel, going to Bessaker, looking for opportunities to share the Good News with people.
