Dad Bonnke on Motor Cycle Ride


A dream is fulfilled! I have always wanted to arrange a motor cycle ride for dad Reinhard Bonnke... Today it was accomplished! Reinhard drove a BMW Touring bike, 2010 with 1200cc and enjoyed the August weather along the coast of Stockholm... God gave us a clear blue sky, sunshine and 62 degrees F!!! Sigfried Tomaszewski from the CfaN team who has been a coworker to Bonnke for many years drove a Harley Davidson 1200cc...

My Assistant Pastor and Director of SOS Mission Bible College, Daniel Elvelyck borrowed my HD and Reinhard's assistant, Andrew Colby had a BMW 850cc...

Thank you Jesus!

Sigfried will preach in just a few minutes at SOS Church - welcome! A bomb will detonate at CCC tomorrow at 4pm - dad Reinhard will preach Jesus at SOS Church's One Year Anniversary! Be in time! There are only 1400 seats! Arrive at 3:30pm so that you will have a seat! Directions to CCC!

See ya soon again!

Who is Best - Ulf Ekman, Reinhard Bonnke or Niklas Piensoho?

Well... Wrong question... ;) The answer to this stupid question is; Jesus is the best! All of these men mentioned above love to make Jesus known in their way with the giftings they have received from God! These men of God are tremendous gifts to us all and point the way to be a Jesus-follower.



I had the priviledge to eat supper with these three men of God and other wonderful Jesus-disciples from Sweden on Wednesday at the restaurant Dalanissen, close to the Filadelfia Church... Pelle Hörnmark and PWC treated us all - thank you thank you... Imagine that I was invited! I was very happy to be included and warm inside actually. Thank you Pelle!

Sat at the same table with friends since many years back; Pastors couple Stenstrand from Västerås, Magnus Persson from United, Malmö, and Carl-Gustaf Severin from Word of Life, Uppsala... Great people that I really respect and appriciate in different ways and for different reasons... Both Per-Johan, Magnus and Calle have meant alot for me during the years and left deep impressions... Good, relaxing conversations and a generous loving atmosphere...

We need each other and at the same time guard the space for the Apostolic and freedom to move and work. We need to respect, love and appriciate each other despite each others differences and at same time constant dare to follow our hearts and not compromise with the inner voice. I am hoping and want to believe that a sound and open fellowship, without control and claim for power will grow and take place in the revival-Christian family in Sweden. I pray that tensions and suspiciousness will fall due to love, generosity and warmth. God, help our nation! God, I pray for that revival- and miracle Christianity will prevail in Sweden!

SOS Homecoming start tonight at 7pm at our premises on Kungsholmen and you are sooo welcome! At 10pm SOS will make Medborgarplatsen to an outdoor church and present a clear Jesus-gospel to the stockholmers! Welcome with us downtown!



See ya!

Intense Preparations!

This morning we planned the orientation day for our Bible Schools, both first and second year that start tomorrow - 50 new recruites - yes! Had lunch with a French journalist from Lyon that is writing an article on churches in Scandinavia. Surveyed Stockholm City Conference Center together with an attendant and my coworkers this afternoon - it will be so great with dad Bonnke on Sunday!

Had a board meeting with SOS the rest of the afternoon between 3-6, planned for festivals in Pakistan among other things! I just came home from a hard work out with my assistant Pastor Walter Zuniga :). Have to be in shape for a year of expansion and growth in the city!

Going home to put my kids to bed now... We are reading about Abraham this week...

A Historical Week Begins...

This past weekend was spectacular! I am happy. I have a feeling of well-being from the Spirit, there's wind in the sails and speed! Spiritual "self-drive" and a deep undercurrent of Holy Spirit and miracles...

Our leadership gathering with the Pastoral team and other leaders on Saturday was productive and sharpening...

On Sunday we had 188 adults at SOS Church and 36 kids at SOS Kids; altogether 224 people! We baptized five this past week! Altogether we have baptized 63 precious disciples our first year as city church... We currently have 190 people in our house churches and about 300 active adults that see SOS Church as their home! Gos is good and faithful! Thank you Jesus!


The heroes are gathering this week and SOS Homecoming begins on Friday at 7 pm at our premises on Kungsholmen! We are sooo looking forward to the dear reunions with former Bible School students and our missionaries!

Our little city church is aggressivly standing on its tippy toes to be hosts this historical week... History in the making :)!

SOS Homecoming and Anniversary with dad Bonnke this weekend!!!!!

See you soon!

Live by the Spirit!

”So I say, live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature.” Galatians 5:16

I pray a lot right now… Fasting, discipline and Bible meditation creates sensitivity and circumcised ears that hear the Spirit… The Spirit encourages us to live a deeper, holier and stronger life… On Sunday we will have an autumn Kick Off at SOS Church – my prayer to heaven: Lord, what do You want to do? Speak so that we can obey You. Holy Spirit!?

Next week Christian Hedegaard from Denmark, Tjebbo van der Eikhofen, Siegfried Tomaszewski and Daddy Reinhard Bonnke will visit our church and we have such high expectations! Holy Spirit, we give you full freedom!

Here follows the schedule for the SOS Homecoming- and Anniversary-weekend, August 27-29:

Friday 19:00 – Miracle Service with Christian Hedegaard
Friday 22:00 – Outreach in Stockholm City
Saturday 10:00-13:00 – Open café and mingling for former Bibleschool students from SOS Mission Bible College.
Saturday 15:00-17:00 – Prayer for Stockholm with Tjebbo van der Eikhofen and Johannes Amritzer
Saturday 19:00 – Miracle Service with Siegfried Tomaszewski
Saturday 22:00 - Outreach in Stockholm City
Sunday 16:00 – SOS Church celebrates its One Year Anniversary with Reinhard Bonnke, at City Conference Center Stockholm.

Gotta rush now, flying to Norway for two Harvest Cry Festivals with the rockband Kutless in Arendal and Kristiansand… Will be back home on Saturday…

I’ll see you on Sunday!

Autumn Kick Off!

On Sunday we will have a Kick Off Celebration to start up the fall season at SOS Church Stockholm! The heroes are gathering! All men on deck! Now, we’ll focus on our vision and proclaim goal number 2, 2010!

We will baptize 5 newly saved people this week and will then have baptized 63 people before we turn one year old on Sunday 29th of August! All I have to say is a huge and raspy; Hallelujah! God is good!

The vision of our international church is crystal clear: “For all people to all nations, the Book of Acts in Stockholm and to the end of the world".

This Sunday, I will preach about “Power Evangelism” and I promise to give you a lot of the Book of Acts… We are a Holy Ghost Church, and we will always be! The Holy Spirit, our helper, wins, encourages, charges and builds!

Vacation is finally over :) Death to the summer flesh! My prayer to Heaven: God, give us Stockholm!

I’ll see you on Sunday, right!?

Lifestyle

Vacation back home is sooo good…sleeping 8-10 hours a day, eating good food, reading a novel, going to the movies, playing with the kids and taking “fikas” with my wife…

A good vacation breakfast starts with bible reading and after that a hunting magazine and of course, a lot of coffee :)

Vacation lifestyle or not…Lifestyle should sit in our spinal courd…Never taking vacation from God but instead having a lovely fellowship with Him!

1) A strong inner life.
2) Fellowship with seekers and new disciples.
3) Physical training and a healthy spiritual exchange

Today I have pain in my triceps after the workout I had yesterday before the sunday service :)
Walter preached yesterday and two got saved- thank you Jesus! Walter is such a good preacher!

See you!

Evening poem during my vacations

Humility

I don’t know it all and I don’t have all the answers… Have often thought, done and said the wrong things… Have often needed to apologize and revise things I once claimed were absolutes and indisputable… Would rather not judge or throw rocks at others. Care more about my friends now than before… Have sung, laughed and danced in my life, but wept even more. Just want to be humble…

I have convictions and a faith that I am prepared to die for. I love Jesus and want to make disciples. Need to pray and study the Bible more. Long for fasting, discipline and orders. Trust that God is in full control… I rest in His arms. My future is written in His hands. Just want to be humble…

Cold technical and professional people make me sad and discouraged… Courtesy in combination with superficiality and nervous faked laughter make me sick… Religion without heart is like wearying desert sun and a constant lack of water… I just want to be humble…

Longing for God! Am in love with Jesus! Need the Holy Spirit! Is fed up with myself… I am not as certain anymore… I still thirst for adventures, am still curious and still moving forward… I am spiritually hungry and want to worship! Just want to be humble…

See you!

A Generous Lifestyle!

I'm sitting at the airport in Trondheim, Norway on my way home, blogging... I have preached and done the gospel all weekend and I am more in love with Jesus - than ever before :)! I'm meditating on two Bible verses from Proverbs.

One man gives freely, yet gains even more; another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty. A generous man will prosper; he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed.

Prov 11:24-25


1) Give freely and generously! (Gifts and surprises to your friends and sow your money in several different croplands at the same time - tithe and extra offerings into the church's different projects...)

2) Be generous, great-hearted and warm! (Forgive injustices, don't be bitter, small-minded and don't have opinions on each and everyone).

3) Encourage! Brag on others, speak highly and well of your fellow men and make someone else happy!

See ya!

Baptism in Fire at Sandvik!


I have preached four servicesat the Pencostal summer conference in northern Norway this weekend. On Friday it was a total Holy Spirit chaos when Jesus baptized 35 people in the Holy Spirit and they started to speak in tongues for the first time!

Our faithful Norwegian coworkers Eli and Gunnar where there to support me - we are enjoying being together again!

See ya!
