  • Jyoti is seeing students coming to Christ

    Our covenant friend Jyoti gave a wonderful report today as we met with covenant friends from many parts of India. He had been invited to share about Christianity at a University. Many Buddists and Hindu students came to listen to him. He started quoting som of the Hindu scriptures talking about the sacrifice of God. Since the Hindu scripture does not explain what the sacrifice of God is, he used the Bible to prove that Christ is the sacrifice of God. As a result 45 students received Christ as their Lord and Saviour!

    Jyoti and his team is currently looking after more than ten churches and three new house-churches in the district of Darjeeling. His team is very excited to see the Spirit of God at work in the hills of Darjeeling. Two completely paralyzed women have been fully healed and can walk and work to the glory of God.

    The team working together is the main reason for the advance of the Kingdom of God in the hill areas, according to Jyoti.

  • Covenant friends are planting churches

    Seven years
    ago I met Kul Bahadur at a seminar we held in Darjeeling, India. After six
    years I met him again last year at a gathering in Kathmandu. He had been
    blessed by our teaching and put it into practice. During those six years he had
    been instrumental in starting six churches. Three of them were quite big and
    the others quite small, he told us.

  • The Kingdom of God reaches remote villages in Nepal

    I am so happy to be able to share some good news from Nepal. Our covenant friend Henry has just been visiting some very remote areas in Nepal. He is proclaiming the Gospel of the Kingdom of God in words and deeds. Nepal is going through a very difficult time at the moment. The political situation is unstable. New laws have been proposed that will represent a setback for the religious freedom the people are enjoying at the moment. In the midst of this the Kingdom of God advances in Nepal. Just read Henry's report and praise God!

  • Spiritual house cleaning – new version

    During our recent
    visit to the covenant communities in Tromsø, Trondheim and Oslo we were told a
    very encouraging story. In the springtime a New Age fair or exhibition kind of
    arrangement for occult and alternative medicine and world-views and practices
    was held in the city. Some people from the covenant community decided to attend
    the fair to offer healing through the laying on of hands in the name of Jesus
    to the visitor.

  • Easter Conference

    Our annual
    Easter Conference starts tonight. People from all over Norway will come
    together to seek the Lord and to celebrate his presence. I am full of
    excitements when I think of the Easter Conference as I am convinced that God
    will come in power and glory in our midst. God is the one who is calling us
    together and he is the one who will manifest himself among us to equip us to
    serve his purpose in our generation.

  • Wonders in Kathmandu

    I have just received an encouraging report from our covenant friend Henry Pradhan in Kathmandu. God is using him powerfully in that nation. He and his wife, Pabitra, are working hard to see people come to know Jesus Christ. They have been evicted from their flat six times in one year! They are renting flats from Hindus who does not like that so many poor visitor come to Henry and Pabitra for prayer and help. Therefore we are praying that God will enable us to raise funds for them to buy their own house as a base for their fruitful ministry. Read on to enjoy the report:

  • One billion souls to save

    Christianity in
    China is booming. With 100 to 150 million believers, far more than the 74
    million-member communist party, Jesus is a force to be reckoned with in
    the People’s Republic.     Jane Macartney 
    from     The Times talks to the new faithful who love China – but
    love God more.

  • The prophetic word brings life

    Today I have received a very encouraging report from our recent visit to India. I attended a worship service with the covenant community when the Lord gave me a prophetic word for Anil, a former fruit seller, now one of the leaders among the people of God in that place. I have posted the entire report and I am sure you will be excited to read what a word from God can produce!
