Encounter with ....

For 2 days ago we went to Sjöviksgården. This was my (Ingvar) first visit to Anna`s spiritual birthplace. It was here, 13 years old, she received Jesus as her personal Lord.  

Anna shared with Vänersborg Baptistförsamling with much thankfulness and exitment what happend just here for 51 years ago. We are, these days, very happy to visit all churches and individuals. 

To have personal encounters with Father God is wonderful and important. Several with Muslim background also wanted to meet their loving Father God. They have grown up with a lots of threats and belief that God is angry with them and out to punish them.


We were encouraged yesterday by all good "roots" we have. At the same time we enjoy helping others to discover all the good the Lord has for them.

To have encounters with our living Jesus is exiting. Ingvar

Going forward

We are now in Sweden, Ingvar 2 months and Anna 3 months. Good to meet our children with families, other relatives and Churches. Thank you for praying for us. We have many open doors. 

The work is continuing in Ubon-Pakse with a wonderful team and other volunteers.  

Happy to see their dedication. Ingvar

Encouragement to start .... they do it best.

All places are unique. Therefore, it is best to train others, who train others, who ...... This is undoubtedly providing the best result. Then the local people can best help their own people. Yesterday we got two photos from "others training others":

One photo is from Isaan and one is from Laos. Anna and I were not there. Locals can do it best. 

But they need some help and encouragement to get started. And sometimes we just say and trust them with: You can do it. Ingvar

Anna + 2 in the South.

Anna, Lamuang and Pling (Lampuang daughter) has today gone to teach and serve 8 days in southern Thailand. I'm in Ubon .... and today it's Pastors Prayer Meeting plus I will be with CSC and visit a place where children suffer. Ingvar

The best country in the world!

Yesterday was our National day.

We have lived more in other countries than in Sweden. But still we believe Sweden is the best. We are not living in Asia of any other reason than because of God's calling. God bless Sweden.

Ps 23... and the whole Bible for the whole life.

Over the years, life can become complicated. We can take on many different "burdens". Physical, mental and spiritual. Then it's just wonderful to again and again return to the basics.

Psalms 23

1 The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want. 
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, 
3 he restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake. 
4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil,
   for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. 
5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. 
6 Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever. 

Yes ... this truth (and the whole Bible) applies throughout life. Have a great weekend blessed by Psalm 23. Ingvar
