As you can see from the view of the mountain we are now

in Norway. That picture was taken from our window. We

have been here now almost three weeks.

The couple you see is Rolle and Anne Aalto and the truck

belongs to them. They are the answer to our prayer that

God would provide a truck or something big enough that

we would not have to make four trips with the size trailer

we could legally pull with our van. Everything we had fit

into that truck. The Aaltos were also our primary help

carrying everything up a long flight of stairs into our

apartment. Another Norwegian man showed up for the

heaviest stuff.

Whatever we lacked the Lord provided through our new

landlord. We left some things we had in Finland to the

Red Cross or with the Tabernacle -Altar of Worship at

Lahti. Our landlord provided better versions of those

things, like two reclining leather chairs – captain style.

The Lord has blessed us.

We will not do any meetings in Norway until December 5th

and then we start up in January 2011. Till then most of

meetings will be in Finland and one weekend in Stock-

holm, Sweden.

However, since we have been here we have been called

on the pray for several church members and young Chris-

tians. The reasons for prayer varied from illness and inju-

ries to legal matters. Some things we have to wait for the

results. But, hallelujah, in three cases healings occurred

almost instantly.

The one I like best was a 3-year old boy in the hospital

with a fever of 103 degrees Fahrenheit and rashes on his

body. I instructed the father to lay his hands on his son

and pray as I led him. Within minutes the boy started to

go to sleep, his parents discovered his temperature was

normal and the doctor came in to verify that and find that

the rashes were gone. The father told me he wants to

learn this and asked how long we would be here.

Another church leader told us he wants to ar-

range meetings with us to teach those things

for the first six months in 2011. Other pastors

and leaders have already expressed a desire

for us to come and help. That’s why we are

here.

So things are lining up and settling into place.

Please pray that our residence permit applica-

tion is approved in as short a time as possible.

Without it we cannot properly set up the minis-

try here.

Some of you who are praying and thinking of

supporting us financially can help now. We

have to demonstrate to the Norwegian foreign

registry that we have more funds to live on

than our military retirement. We need to dem-

onstrate a good pattern of support over the

next 3 or 4 months. Be led by the Spirit how

much, but now is the time.

We thank God for all of you and expect to see

some of you visit to help us but also to see the

beauty of Norway. It is amazing!

Praise God for each of you!
