First 2 Weeks in Scandinavia

Week 1

We arrived to Sweden with half of the group, the other half had a delayed in Madrid because there was national strike and they closed the airport for some hours… But after that they arrived safe to Sweden. 

In Sweden we met some guys from the local church (Finish/Sweden Pentecostal Church) in Boras and we hang out with them for pretty much all week. They have a service in finish (Finland), that it was kind of conservative compare to an American Pentecostal service, but that is part of learning how churches are in different parts of the world, by the way I think there is only one church of Christ but different manifestation of that church.  

They also just started a service in Swedish and we also were part of 2 of them, most of the people that come to this service are youth and young adults, in one of them I had the opportunity to teach and it was a great experience, God moved in an awesome way that night, we could see the Spirit of God touching their hearts bringing healing to some areas of their lives. There is so much hunger for God, we found that a lot of people struggle with depression and suicide thoughts and it saw how God brought hope, joy and freedom to this areas.  

All this freedom is awesome but to be honest what I value more is the relationships that we made in this city, I think God wanted us to connect with this guys and not only share for a couple of days together but to walk this journey together even through the distance.

Week 2 

We got a van to drive to Norway from a guy from Sweden, this was a huge blessing, God provided through this person and we got to safe money that we didn´t have.  We still are raising support for some of the expenses here but God has been so faithful and provide meals and places to stay without having to pay, this is amazing!

In Norway we stayed at a YWAM base in Grimerud. We had the privilege of been part of a ministry called ¨Restore 24-7¨ this is a prayer and worship room that is open all the time just like IHOP. It was a blessing to be there and also lead in worship, I´m so thankful to God for that opportunity.

We also served in two churches a Lutheran church and an African church, I got to teach in the African church, and they translated my message to a dialect from Congo, which was so cool! At the end of the service in the ministry time God healed a guy´s back from a pain that he had for a long time.

After that I got sick… I got a cold and I’m still recovering from that, but God is so good that we are so excited to see what is going to happen next!
