We are in Harstad, Norway! It is unbelievably gorgeous here!We got to see a glimpse of the Northern lights last night when we arrived, we didn't see them in their fullness but we saw a streak of beautiful light in the sky. It was amazing. Then we woke up to what is really around us the sea and incredibly beautiful snow capped mountains! It takes your breath away. Everyone is doing really good and very expectant of the Lord. There is a couple here that are Americans that live in Finland that are speaking at the conference this weekend. They are awesome, they travel all over Europe teaching on the Father's heart and hearing God's voice. It's very inspiring! I could see myself do this some day yet teach on worship. :) There is a great need for solid teaching here in Europe, they do not get what Americans get. There are very few believers up here in the North. Tonight the conference starts. There should be around 60-100 people attending. (like i said very few christians live here). We are really excited about leading worship, I just believe God is going to show up in mighty ways here in the North. A few months ago they had a youth conference and 100 youth got saved and miracles happened. I believing for that when we go to Ornes and Bodo this week to reach the youth there.We were able to minister to a couple people on the flights on the way up here and even invited them to the meeting we are having in Oslo on the 25th. They said they would come so we'll see. The people are so friendly here, very hungry for God. We are staying at this small lodge this weekend. They are dormitory style rooms with 2 bunk beds in each room, there's a dinning hall and conference room where we'll have the meetings. We will be here til Sunday morning and then go to Tromso to encourage the believers there and pray and worship with them and stay at a YWAM base. God is soo good! This is going to be the most amazing trip! :)
