After a conversation with our CS I can now let you know that the long awaited post about our orders will be posted tomorrow at noon (GMT+1)
So, soon and very soon ….
Orders will be official tomorrow
Wednesday, April 15th, 2009Thank You!
Saturday, March 28th, 2009I am deeply moved by all the kind words and prayers we are receiving on Facebook, and via email today as we are getting ready for maybe one of the most important meetings of our lives (well at least for the next couple of years!).
Keep praying guys, we really need it!
And all the emails and comments do really tell me that come what may, we will enter into this great adventure surrounded by friends and supporters!
Today is the day ….
Saturday, March 28th, 2009
At two o’clock today we will commence our appointments consultation.
Trying to be prepared is very hard as we do not know what to prepare for, so if you have the time, pray for us on this very important day.
I have woken up every half hour through the night and Hanna has unfortunately contracted a stomach bug of some kind and has been very ill.
But today we need our top form no matter how we feel. Pray that we will be surrounded and filled by God’s peace and that he will give us the wisdom to ask all the right questions.
Here we go!
In preparation of our orders – Army life
Thursday, March 26th, 2009
So having spent nearly two years being told that we are going to be told where to go, we are now given a consultation where we have to reply to our appointment.
It is a scary thing to be responsable for such a big decision especially after you have been lulled into the false security that someone else will do it for you. However this responsability is what we have been asking for since we first considered officership, now that it is given to us, I am not sure I want it.
Nevertheless it is now time to grow up and leave the nest….
Patience

Pa-tience ['pā sh ens]
noun.
1. The capacity to accept or tolerate delay, trouble or suffering without getting angry or upset.
2. chiefly British term for solitaire
As we are still waiting to find out about where we are going to be posted we find ourselves living in the twilight zone. It is a place where everyone else have shifted gear and are moving towards a goal but we are still treading water.
We pray for patience!

Appointments
Monday, February 16th, 2009The room was full of electric nervous energy. Not that anything was going to change… At the same time everything is about to change for the majority of the people in the room.
It was a weird place to be as a spectator. I knew our appointments where not among the brown envelopes on the table, I was nervous anyway…..
Lord I pray for all my friends that they will be catapultet into the most exciting adventure of their lives!
NCD Resources
Friday, February 13th, 2009As many have been given their new appointments only to discover that their new appointments includes “Getting your head around NCD”
I thought I would repost my NCD links and recourses for you to enjoy!
If you are going to read one book on NCD, I would recommend you to start with Color your world with NCD. Another book that I would warmly recommend is The Threefold art of Experiencing God. That gets deeper into the concept of the trinity in a very helpful way.
The other book that is extremely helpful both for Sermon material and for useful devotional material is the 3 Colors of Love.
The idea of a truly Trinitarian faith I find a revolutionary one, where every aspect of church is truly immersed in the fullness of the trinity and not unbalanced by focusing on only one aspect of God’s love.
I hope you find these books as helpful as I have.
Remember
Monday, February 9th, 2009I lost my keys, again, I need to be writing an essay, I need to go to the library, and I must hurry to get my kids, and I cannot find my keys. Frantically I look through the flat, no luck….
Hang on a minute, what good is it to be a friend of an omniscient ruler of the universe if He can’t help you locate the keys….
Father, I have lost the keys, please help me find them…. Then I do something strange, I don’t stop and listen, I keep looking I keep rummaging through the children’s toys, I am getting angry and sad. Why would God not help me, is he holding out on me? An hour later, I sigh in defeat. – I can’t do this! As I start working up courage to go tell Margret that I lost yet another set of keys, I feel a stirring in my spirit, my eyes focus and I am looking at my keys, right there on the kitchen counter, under a paper from Angelina’s school.
If I had only stopped and listened from the beginning. If I had only trusted in God’s heart.
I vow to myself, again, to remember that God answers prayer and that I must live that way.
Going to Latvia: Boothcamp II – Prologue
Wednesday, January 28th, 2009So today we fly of to Riga, to prepare for three days of Boothcamp, a National Latvian youth camp in the small town of Drusti. It is the second time we do this camp but a first for Hanna to speak at an event like this.
At the camp we will be teaching “Epic” and the four streams from “Waking the dead”, teaching people that there is a full life to be lived in Christ, where you can find your unique part in God’s story and walk an intimate walk with God, hearing him speak daily. We will also concentrate on Spiritual Warfare and naturally how all this will enable us to fight the Salvation War! Last time the all age meeting at the end of the camp was especially powerful where the older generation prayed for and blessed the younger generations to march to war.
The warfare has been getting fierce the closer we have gotten to the event. Our sleep has been interrupted (more than usual) and tempers have been flying high. The added pressures of Sunday placements at corps and essays at the college all colliding in these last two weeks have not helped either. I am assuming that the enemy is not pleased with our plans to, through the power of God, set hearts free in Latvia.
Please Pray for us, as much, and as hard as you can, we will need every bit of support we can get!
