On the way..... to Ubon.
22 april 2024
Thank you.
My experience is that in "The Church with its Mission" I have many wonderful friends.
I was very happy to receive the invitation to preach in the Church in Ed on April 21, 2024. I felt it right to celebrate my birthday in Dalsland.
Anna and our granddaughter Anna celebrated me in Bleket at 06:30. After that I went north. In Bäckefors, I went around the hospital where I was born 74 years ago. I was filled with gratitude to God and people for a very safe upbringing and a very exciting life ... so far.

More space ..... in the community.
We are really in a creative pioneer work in the community:
More and more people are coming to Ubon Music Cafe, Bakery, Streams of Grace Church and Child Safe. Therefore we need more space, better kitchen +++.
Now are are starting to rent 2 more rooms so that more people can enter this open-meeting-place-in-the-community. “Enlarge the place of your tent, and let the curtains of your habitations be stretched out; do not hold back; lengthen your cords and strengthen your stakes". Isa 54:2
The focus is not on walls, floor or ceilings but people. We prioritize;
Step 1. God leads us out among people who cry out to God for help. And when we are coming to them in the "mud" (= mud), we see it as an answer to prayer. Everyone, even in great problems with pain and "brokenness" all children-teenagers-middle aged-elderly, are welcomed and valuable. I heard Simon Sinek and one other person talk about "My job is to sit in the mud with you". Very good as step 1. Click here.
Step 2. We don't get stuck down there "in-the-mud". Not just try to learn to handle the life in the "mud" or just get band-aids. No, together with our Good Shepherd we go up, out out the "mud" into freedom. The Good news: Jesus, can lead us together all "out of the mud".
Pray for:
Next week Fri-Sat-Sun April 19-20-21 we have special meetings. Victory over fear.
A. Into the usual work and
B. Into extra interventions
Enclosed you will find some pictures from the repair. The landlord gives low rent, but he is not doing any repairs.

.... it works 2024
Someone has been there, but now the Cross is empty and the grave is empty. The darkness and death could not keep Jesus. He opened a new and living way for us. It works.
We try hard to educate ourselves so we can be strong and successful. We try to understand and handle all.
But still, we can not make it all. Life is full of matters we can not understand. Exodus 14 has spoken to me.
Go out of Egypt. And the People of Israel tried. But on the way they had big problem. They cried out to God for HELP.
Moses dared to stand up and say: “Fear not, stand firm, and see the salvation of the Lord, which he will work for you today...." "The Lord will fight for you, and you have only to be silent.” Wooow
The Egyptians.... came into panic. And they said: “Let us flee from before Israel, for the Lord fights for them against the Egyptians.”

Outcome Mapping & Harvesting.
It was a great joy last week to have our daughter Mariam here in Ubon for a 4 days Outcome Harvesting & Mapping seminar. Ubon-Pakse is a very good place to be:
The aim we have is to provide meeting places in the community. People can come in even if they feel that they have failed and are not good enough, And be encouraged to go out and do what they can do. We work on multiplications and movements among the people.
Thank you Mariam. You encourage us all.
Greetings from Daddy
PS. Today I will start my journey Ubon-Bangkok-Dubai-Copenhagen-Gothenburg- Bleket. Look forward to meet you all between 19th mar-31st July.

Happy to share the Living HOPE
As Ajarn Boy has been away for a Seminar, I have been sharing both on Friday and yesterday. To prepare a sermon is exciting and refreshing. It is like heaven is open and a river of Life flowing:
In Asia we have many religions, giving many demands how to please the Spirits. But all good works (Merit-making) is never enough. Only in Jesus we become accepted and God's Children.
Corrie ten Boom served people in need. Many Jews had nowhere to go to find shelter. We have here also people who need somewhere to have a temporary shelter. First, they GIVE UP but when JESUS is touching them they find restoration and LIVING hope. Also equipped to help others.
Have a good week, helping many who are rootless and need God`s agape-love so they can come back on their feet again.
