Good Relations for the "Spotted's" Sake!

All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of his possessions was his own, but they shared everything they had. 33With great power the apostles continued to testify to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and much grace was upon them all.

Acts 4:32-33

I am sooo happy for my siblings in the different churches in Stockholm... Had lunch with the Youth Pastor of Finnish Filadelfia Church this week and planned a Youth Conference for this coming Easter. I will preach at Jerusalem Church, the Ethiopian church, tomorrow morning and then head over to SOS Church to have the kids church at 4 pm... We are cooperationg with St Clara Church, Allhelgona Church, Filadelfia Church, the City Church, New Fellowship, The Cross Church, Dynamic, Credo and the Salvation Army in a project where we provide supper, lodging and breakfast for the homeless every day... We'll work in different teams and shifts and are hoping for the grace and power that the Book of Acts talks about to be over this... Imagine to be able to take a cooperate responsibility for the poor of the city - thank You Jesus!

...in the daily distribution of food.

Acts 6:1b

Lately I have heard the Spirit whisper to me to stretch out even more to the poor... Unreached Peoples - those no one else wants to go to or preach to and those in Stockholm that no one else cares about... God is giving us the striped, spreckled, and the spotted (Gen 31:12). I am also sensing a completely new love to and gratefulness in my heart toward my siblings in all the other churches around the city... The work of the Spirit in our lives is both beautiful and precious... Fellowship that is built on a practical cooperation for a common cause is true fellowship. Focus on the harvest = Unity.

Yesterday I had lunch with a Swedish Indian businessman in the city who wants to be baptized and join our church and today I am meeting a Swedish Armenian seeker for another lunch meeting that hopefully will lead into Bible reading, confession of sin and repentance... God give is Stockholm!

Tomorrow is Sunday again! "I love Sundays!" as Pastor Brian Houston so often says...

See ya!
