Shine in the darkness

Khun Nang, what a beautiful picture on this pioneer Church. May every Church and every believer shine like this here in Isaan and Laos this Saturday-Sunday.

Your love is not broken....

I have had the privilege to meet a few of people these few days who are representing lives restored or under process (we are all under process) but who have come a long way if I compare them from when I first met them. My heart is overwhelmed with gratefulness. God is the Healer, Restorer, the God Who Forgives, the Lover of our soul, Redeemer a.s.o. And His miracles in peoples lives never stop to amaze me.

If God's Love is all what it says and much more, no wonder it HE is the power medicine, to restore life and wholeness to broken vessels. 

Today when I was preparing to meet another ‘precious one’ I was singing with Amanda Cook :

‘Pieces’ on Youtube: 

If you want to check it out I recommend this version: Pieces (Spontaneous) Amanda Cook / Moments.

Here is some of the lyrics:

Unreserved, unrestrained, Your love is wild, your love is wild for me.

It isn’t shy, it’s unashamed.

Your love is proud to be seen with me.

‘Cause You don’t give your heart in pieces,

And You don’t hide Yourself to tease us. 

Uncontrolled,


uncontained, your life is a fire

Burning bright in me.

It’s not just a spark, it’s not just a flame.

Your love is a light that the world will see.xx

You don’t give Your heart in pieces,

You don’t hide Yourself to tease us.

Your love not fractured, it’s not a troubled mind.

It isn’t anxious, It’s not the restless kind.

Your love’s not passive

It’s never disengaged, It’s always present.

It hangs on every word we say.

Love keeps its promises. It keeps its word.

It honors what’s sacred. ’Cause its vows are good.

Your love’s not broken, It’s not insecure.

Your love’s not selfish, Your love is pure.

You don’t give Your heart in pieces,

You don’t hide Yourself to tease us.

Thank you for 68 days

all dear relatives and all friends for 68 days in Sweden with a lot of friendship, cooperation and encouragement. 

More and more we see how important it is to work together in Pioneer Mission Work. 

Walking with you these 68 days in family life, community life and Church life has been strengthening and inspiring us to move on.

We are certainly not in Missions because we are strong enough to fix it. No, we must continue only because we know God and you are sending us out. Pioneer Mission is calling.

Have a blessed and warm autumn with an open sky above you. 

Ingvar and Anna
