I met Prem Lama nearly
one year ago in Kathmandu. He stood out in the group of men he was
with. His face was shining. He had this happy and confident look
about him that true saints have. His eyes were full of life, full of
joy and expectancy. He was overflowing of a deep inner peace.

Yesterday we left Nepal after six blessed days with wonderful time with disciples of Jesus. We spent the first days in beautiful Pokhara and the weekend in Kathmandu. The political situation in Nepal is very unstable at the moment and we need to pray for peace and prosperity for that poor nation. The believers seem to be in good heart. We had very good reports of new people coming into the Kingdom of God.

At the Bible week this summer Neil Cole spoke on organic church planting. At one seminar he spoke on the foundation for organic church planting which starts with the most important question “Who is Jesus to you?”

At our Bible week at Stokke in July Neil Cole from USA ministered to us. He was a great blessing through the message of life that he ministered in word, attitude and action. In fact his life among us was a message in itself. He was a great communicator, but also a man of a Christlike character. His overall theme was how to cultivate an organic church growth or to see multiplication of disciples.

I have been asked to minister the Word of God several places lately and I have been asked if I could speak on the eternal plan and purpose of God. Last night I was with a good group of young people. They responded very well. I am always happy when I am able to connect with young people.

God has a plan and he is using people to accomplish what he has purposed. It is wonderful to know the plan and purpose of God. But it is even more exiting to be part of fulfilling the plan of God. I think it is great to be involved in what God is doing in the world today. It is a great privilege to serve the purpose of God in our generation.

Just a few days ago I had the joy of holding my evangelistic bestseller book "Mening med livet?" (Meaning with life?) in a rewritten, updated version with new illustrations and layout. The first edition of the book was published in 1972. It has been published in Chinese, Danish, German and Swedish. The Norwegian version has been sold in more than 200.000 copies. Many people have come to faith in Christ in reading the book.

The book has been out of print for many years now but I have had many requests for it to be reprinted. However the book needed to be rewritten and updated. I am very grateful to Per Filip Osland and Tormod Åsen for their help with the illustrations and the new layout. I am convinced that this small book will be used by God to bring new people into the Kingdom of God.

The book has been translated into English but so far I have not found a publisher!

The opportunity to comment a blog is a must. I am very happy with the ability to interactiveness with my friends and visitors to my blog. Recently I have had several comments on an entry I posted a long time ago. I find that interesting. When we leave a story on a blog or on Internet it seems to live its own life and seems to be able to reach the far corners of the world. It is a fascinating thing to be able to dialog with people from all over the world. I love comments, and I love serious comments especially. I find it very meaningful to be able to connect with people I have never met before. I thank God for the ability to leave comments on my blog!

I have just had a text-message on my mobile telephone from one of my friends in India that our friend Manesh has been assaulted by two men. When he left the worship gathering in his house church he was followed by the two young men. The first time he was able to get away from them, but this time they beat him and threatened him that something much worse would happen to him if he continued to meet with the church in the house.

The Easter conference is over. God has spoken very clearly to us through his apostles Keri Jones and Noralv Askeland. They have been focusing on Christ in us – the hope of glory.
