My Harley Davidson is Crying

A motorcycle accident usually has very dramatic consequenses, if the driver even survives... Head, neck or back injuries that turns a happy biker into a vegetable or, if he's lucky, he's bound to a wheel chair for the rest of his life. That's why I am soooo grateful to God that I'm alive after my accident on Wednesday...

I was changing lane on the Huddinge Road(Road 226) from Stockholm to Tullinge where I live, and was stopping for a red light... The coarse gravel, still on the road after this winter, caused both wheels to let go at the same time and my beautiful Harley slithered across the asphalt 13-19 feet with my right leg jammed underneath. I was not going fast, probably about 15-20 mph when it happened... I thought my leg had been torn off, the pain was so severe, I cried and screamed like a toddler when my leg was released... It was first when the paramedics came that I could talk... At the Karolinska Hospital they found out that two ligaments had been torn off in my right knee... There was also crushed bone in my knee cap...

I have been drugged by morphine at the hospital for two days, but now I'm at home on my couch with my family...

I'll have to wear an orthosis on my right leg and walk with crutches for eight weeks and then have at least one, maybe two knee-operations. After that physical therapy and a looong time of rehabilitation... I'll probably have to live with the crutches for about six months... But I do believe in miracles and superfast healing - let's see :)...

My beautiful Harley - before the accident...

I think my kids were mostly worried that mom and I talked about selling the Harley :)... "Don't do it dad!" they said in chorus. They love their little brother; "Sportster" born 2002 and know that he is crying more than daddy right now... We'll see... Let's hope that the insurance company takes care of you my friend... Motor bikes for sure have a place in God's creation ;). We are crying with you today...

Thank you Jesus for life and muscular angels!

See ya!

Our Lifestyle!

Pastoring in Stockholm again... Lovely! I have great coworkers, a real "dream team" and it's summer... Driving my Harley between the different tasks; marriage counseling, meetings with new members, life coaching, administration and of course, preaching, teaching and leading people to salvation... I actually really love being a pastor...

Monday was my day off, haven't had one in quite some time actually. I usually succeed at prioritizing my day of rest but haven't really been able to do that these last couple of weeks and I'm paying for it now with coughing, fever and common grumpyness ;). It never works to break the third commandment - God knew this and gave us the day of rest as a great gift. Well, well... I did some boxing and then some strength training, played cards and chess before lunch... Went to the movies with my son Adam and saw Pirates of the Caribbean - 4, so fun ;)! What a great and relaxing day it was!

There are some principles, or a lifestyle-guide that I try to live by in order to live long. After 22 years as a disciple I've "cooked it down" to three points...

1) A strong inner life (prayer, worship, Bible reading, fasting and Spiritual studies).
2) A strong outgiving and extroverted life (fellowship with seekers, discipleship training with new believers every week and regular mission trips).
3) A sound life (days off, regular physical training, dating my Maria, fun and creative fellowship with the kids, playing cards, BBQ's, laughing with friends, but also hunting, fishing, motor cycle rides etc).



No... I have to stop blogging now and start working on the Vision Meeting; SOS Church Next Step that will take place this Saturday and also this Sunday's message...

Ps. Aren't you gonna attend SOS Mission Bible College this fall?! Apply here and now!

See ya!

I'm sitting in my hotel room in Islamabad, humble, before the face of the Lord tonight...This afternoon I had a 45 minute audience with the Minister for human rights and minority questions here in Pakistan - exciting...

Minister Akram Masih Gill, member in the Pakistani parliament in Islamabad... Felt like we connected, I was a little unsure still though but... Later this afternoon he called and had cancelled all his evening meetings and wants to have dinner with me and two of my Pakistani friends at the Marriot Hotel - a great evening with exciting conversations. We became very good friends :). I am now his intercessor... Favor. What happens now? I am amazed and thankful...

See ya!

45,000 Gathered Tonight!

We have prayed with about 25,000 to salvation this past week! Tonight we counted to 45,000 gathered at the festival ground (there was no space for more) and we don't know how many that sat on the bus-roofs and walls around the area... There were probably 50,000 or more that heard the gospel live in Faisalabad tonight!

Lots of miracles :)! Tumors that dissapeared and fell off people and severely hearing impaired who heard perfectly! Crippled who walked and started to run and demon possessed were carried out during the entire night! Deliverance from demonic powers! We concluded the evening with prayer for baptism in the Holy Spirit!

Hoarse voices, happy and breaktrough against all odds :)!

See ya!
