Mother`s Day and ..... are with young.

Yesterday we celebrated Mother's Day in Thailand. Also that the Queen turned 80 years old. All Churches in Thailand celebrate this with great reverence and gratitude.

Many of us are right now standing up against many challenges. New school classes, new working teams, new pressure, new …. Many things wants to create worry and fear in us: What will happen? How can we cope?

We, mission leaders, are also facing many challenges from the society, from the Church, from others and from ourselves. But, we have a Good Shepherd.

Before we left Sweden the 5th Aug we were standing praying with some believers and …. Isaiah 40:11 came alive for us:

He will feed His flock like a shepherd;
He will gather the lambs with His arm,
And carry them in His bosom,
And gently lead those who are with young.

The word gently can especially strong to us. He leads us gently because we have many young followers.


We are not all mothers, but we are all leaders in different ways for others, young followers. Many are looking up to us for guidance, care and spiritual food. God help us to be spiritual parents with the same attitude as our Good Shepherd Jesus is for us. Ingvar
