Buck Hunt, Newly Saved, and Church Construction…

This past weekend I made time to go down south to Stengårdshult for a day of hunting… August 16th is a holy date for all the Swedish hunters (opening day for Buck hunting)… Got up at 2 am, and was sitting in my tower in the forest at 3 am. Began to call on the buck with my Buttolo at 6 am and an hour later at 6.58 am a shot went off. With a well placed neck shot I killed a 6 pointer at roughly 40 yards… Glory, the forest is taxed, the answer to prayer is already cut and in the freezer. Last night we ate our first stew with dear meat this year - wow it tasted good!


This morning I had breakfast with a newly saved friend downtown and we had time for a deep Bible study and a lot of Coffee… Then I spent the remainder of the day putting in hard wood floors together with my beloved Maria in our new church Venue on Kungsholmen, Stockholm (SOS Church)… Am having a great vacation this year actually; boat hopping in the archipelago, buck hunt, fellowship with newly saved immigrants downtown and construction work at our church! Tomorrow the kids start school again and their fall semester begins! Great - we are so looking forward as a family to this fall! Why? Here are some reasons:

1) SOS Church launches on August 29th at Nalen! Welcome to celebrate with us from noon to 2 pm!

2) We will inaugurate our new premesis on Kungsholmen with cake and an open house that same afternoon!

3) We will release SOS first musical production - the well longed for festival CD - God of Miracles - on Sunday August 30th at 4 pm at Nalen!

4) We enjoy being pastors here at home in Stockholm this fall (it will be the calmest fall in my life so far).

5) We enjoy our new house and life in Tullinge.

6) A new start for SOS Mission Bible College! (More radical, more on the edge and tougher than before).

7) Services in English and a multi-cultural mega city church.

The list could keep on going…

PS. We need a few financial miracles rights now… We are instapling sound, light, multi media, translation gear etc… Everything is expensive… We are fundraising but need an extra $27,000! Perhaps one of my blog readers out there that believe in church planting, pioneer work in Stockholm wants to be a part and sow in good soil?!

See Ya!
