We together with God can do it.

We really love to be 'Hands-On' ourself. But, most of all, training people who train others to be 'Hands-On' in training others to  ......

"Share the things that you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses with faithful men who will be able to teach others also".  2 Tim 2:2

Most of the time it goes faster and better if we do it ourself... but than we miss one of the important messages in the Kingdom oc God: 

   Everyone, even those who feel most worthless, are warmly Welcome:                                             Give Encourage that:

We  Can 

And God can restore us all  ... even if it takes some timed.

From Anna's 💗

From Anna's heart:

At the time of writing, I am sitting on the balcony with a tree crown right next to me.

The new leaves for a couple of weeks, now are shiny spring green. 

The withered leaves are already gone. 

We leave behind what has been. 

- Some to burn.

- there is no more, it is clean and reconciled.

- Others to compost. 

- To experiences that are processed and becomes wisdom and understanding for the future.

We have just begun a new year 2026.

- The old is past, see something new has come.

- It speaks of the new life in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17)

The naked tree has now received new life.

Isaiah 43:19

‘‘Behold, I am doing a new thing. Now it appears. Do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and streams in the desert.’’

After a year of great challenges. We have felt like we have gone through a time of enormous pressure (the oil and/or wine are being pressed), the gold has been refined and after an intense end to 2025, we started the new year with rest. The Sabbath rest comes before the work.

The ‘‘way in the wilderness’’ is revealed to us more and more. 

NOW-we expect ‘‘streams in the desert’’.

 Welcome Holy Spirit. We need You.

Agape

This Christmas a truth has rung within me. "For God so loved ἀγάπη the world that he sent Jesus" as a little baby. This is the love the world needs. The Agape  selfless and unconditional love. And ..... this type is living and grows naturally, like a small child grows. 

We are also sent to "live out" this out giving true God"s love. We cannot produce it ourselves.

We work here in Ubon/Pakse with many who are not wanted by their mother and father, who do everything they can to avoid taking care of their children-teenagers. When they are "left behind" they decide: I will manage my own. I don't trust anyone. I only trust on myself.

Let's live out AGAPE-love even to the most helpless in 2026.

Mission greetings from Ingvar (Fred) and Anna

 

Have a blessed Christmas and a fruitful 2026/

We are well and have had wonderful Christmas celebrations in many places and ..... the meaning of Christmas makes everyone happy. Thank you for 2025 and we look forward to a close and meaningful cooperation with you 2026.

I will not leave you Fatherless .....

We have just celebrated Swedish Father's Day. Thailand has Father's Day on December 5th, and USA on June 21st.

           Sven. Anna's father                 Herbert. Ingvar's father

 

We are so grateful for our fathers. Ingvar's father was called Herbert in Hällan, I grew up with him during 47 years. He died 1997 at the age of 73. 

Anna's father was called Sven i Bäcken. He died in a storm on the Smögen Fishingboat Expo in 1967. He was 46 years old. "Even though this was a great sadness and loss, Father God became my (Anna's) help and an always present Father". 

According to Tarren at Elida, it was Sven who said: "There should be a blue line at Elida".

                           

We are grateful for 4 children, 8 grandchildren and 2 great-grandchildren. And grateful for more and more here in Ubon-Pakse who experience that Abba, Father God does not abandon us. Even though several here call me (Ingvar) Daddy and see me as their spiritual father, I point out that God is our Abba Father. Many here know who their mother is, but ..... not who their father is. Jesus said:                          

And this promise works. Not as a luxury item in life but a basic need.

We have had a blessed Fri-Sat-Sun.
