Today and Tomorrow!

I am sitting at the Scandic Vulkan Hotel in Oslo. I've taught two days at the Filadelfia Church Bible School (FBO). They have 160 students this year and yesterday around 25 of them were baptized in Holy Spirit and started speaking in tongues the last session! I love their staff, teachers and the church here and have been teaching here for 15-16 consecutive years. Ate breakfast with my good friend Stephan Christiansen, Jesus Church, today and preaching at the Filadelfia Church in Strömmen tomorrow night and Saturday...


The Amritzer family simply refuse to live in the past. Yesterday is actually history. We are thankful for victories, vacations and different successes we have experienced, but we are definitely not nostalgic and think that it used to be better...

Do not say, “Why were the old days better than these?”
    For it is not wise to ask such questions.
Ecc 7:10

You cannot turn back time my friend. You cannot relive the old days. You can only learn from history so you don't have to repeat what was negative or invent the wheel again. History teaches us how we can live better today and tomorrow. I hope you understand what I mean friend?!

When I reflect over my life and how it is right now, I am sooo happy...

I am thankful that our church is growing, our Bible school is growing, our festivals expanding and that we are baptizing newly saved and moving forward! Everything is breathing life and belief in the future! This spring and summer is just gonna be so good! March 1-2 I am releasing a new book focusing on family. Both Marie Nylén (Living Families) and Pelle Hörnmark (Leader of the Swedish Pentecostal Movement) will be honor guests at our church this very special weekend. Do not miss it! We'll have a party!


Later in March we are having a Peace Festival in Pakistan and Missions Conference at the end of May!

Stephan and Anne Christiansen, Jesus Church Oslo, and Scott Howe, Evoke Ministries Orlando Florida, will be our guests at #Mission14 May 30 - June 1. Theme for the conference is "Tools for Urban Mission" and we will focus on how to take the mega cities in the world for Jesus! Exciting, creative and very practical workshops will be at your disposal on how we can present our faith through art, dance and other fun things.

Stephan and Anne...

Scott Howe and his team from Evoke Ministries will have creative workshops...

The future is ours! Thank you Jesus!

See ya!
