THE HARVEST FIELD TOUR – arrived in Minneapolis and St Paul

We have had some major problems with our telephones and internet connection with the homepage therefore we have not been able to put in yet another film in our blog… Here some glimpses of our trip. Yesterday a greta meeting with 800+ students and faculty in Bethel. God spoke to a number of people and we pray and hope that some of them will be used by God to make a difference in Sweden.
We have been blessed by great hosts in the first stages of the tour; thanks especially to Jim and Steve; you are just wonderful people! They have set us up with some great contacts and opportunities… John had a meeting with a representative of a denomination who expressed a desire to work together with us in the planting of many churches in Stockholm… Praise God!
Today we had the privilege to meet a total different group of people; people who being second and third generation Americans still consider themselves Swedes… they have a feel (and sometimes a burden) for the homeland… We had the opportunity to share music with them (great Mattias and the band as they were playing folk music…) and we shared on Sweden as I addressed the prodigal Church in Sweden which had lost its virtue and its purpose. Many older people expressed their willingness to pray for Sweden and to be engaged in future ministry, some wanted to join a vision trip wich some people are organizing!
We will get back with more soon… Tomorrow morning an exciting worship service…
see you soon, John for the team
Det låter jättehärligt!!! Ni verkar ha fått en flygande start på touren!!:) Mycket träffande liknelse om sverige som den förlorade sonen, tycker jag. Var välsignade!
Thanks for coming to Bethel! I loved hearing you speak and the band was great. I don’t often cry from music, but Jenny seriously made me cry.
I wish you and the group all the best for the rest of your time in the United States.
The team is looking great! We are praying for you guys.
Greetings from Minnesota! I happened to stumble upon your site as have a heart for the Swedish people. My ancestors come from Sweden so for some strange reason I am worried about the spiritual state of the Swedish people. It is interesting to me that your group is doing what it is doing. Blessings!
Great to hear from you… If you are interested in staying connected on a more personal level; we will be sending out regular emails to share prayer needs and other developments in regards of the planting of churches in Sweden. Send me more information on my email which is john(at)newlife.nu
