PROJECT RISK

last night we gathered 130 people in one room praying, worshiping, and wondering....WHAT WILL GOD DO IN THESE NEXT DAYS?

we have begun the project....RISK: Jesus to All of Europe.

Of those 130 people we are divided into about 40 teams averaging 3 members each. We are going to TAKE Europe this weekend. Starting from Norway we release team by team to go to their nation of choice. All of Europe!! I mean, I am talking about Andorra, Lichtenstein, Italy, Greece, Albania, Russia, Latvia, Belarus.......all of them! It's amazing. We are almost at 100% but then the team that was going to Romania BACKED OUT in the last moment. If team Romania knew that they would be the answer to the 100% victory mark on this project would they have backed out? Who knows. I do know that the enemy doesn't want us to reach Europe. He will scare us with silly ideas of 'not getting enough money', 'getting robbed', 'not having a contact person', or ' not having a team'. These might seem like practical things to consider when going to a foreign country...but for this project and us as a WHOLE MISSION BASE, we have seen that God can fix all these issues in His time---not ours. Although not all the money came in that was needed for the teams to go to the end reaches of Europe--like Bulgaria, Macedonia, and Russia we took an offering amongst ourselves (the ones that have already paid the way for our own travels) and raised 19,000 KR to go towards those others. It's so special to live in a community where we support each other.

So you want to hear about my team and our mission to WARSAW, POLAND?

TEAM: Erika, Will, and Andrea (she is a beautiful Norwegain girl, 20...and has a great heart for what God is doing)

Friday:
We will leave tomorrow and arrive around 4:45pm. We will be joining a man named Tomasz and his church called Praga for Christ. We will be participating in an evangelism meeting on Friday night. Andrea and I will stay at some girls' home near the church and Will is going to sleep in the church.
Saturday:
We will have a worship time and orientation with the church people, and they will join us to the streets or so for a two hour evangelism time. They are very outgoing. We shall see what God is up to. We would love to just pray about some clues God would give us to find people He wants to heal, save, or bless. We also have thoughts about music and painting on the streets. Warsaw is a beautiful city. It was on the Lonely Planet's top 10 cities list at one point (says Will). So...I really want to check it out. We will be stopping and praying at specific times during the weekend. All of the teams in all of the nations will pray at 12:00 and 18:00. Join us.
Sunday:
We will have some time in a local church to bring a message of HOPE and support for Europe.
I really hope we can have some meals with locals. I want to just enjoy the city and the people from the church. I can not expect myself to be anything more than ready to smile. Smiling on Sunday...that sounds nice and spiritual warfare-ish! Yeah! It's called 'Laughing at how dumb the devil is Day!!!!
Monday:
We fly back to Norway around noon. Then there will be a gathering of all the teams who went out. It is time to hear testimonies from the travels. God is good already.

If you want to keep up with the blogs you can try on www.ywamskien.wordpress.com
The reason I say 'try' is because many of them will be in Norwegian. But there will be some reports from some nations in english. So...just try.

My team would love to hear from you. Do you have any words from God? Any encouragements and prayers for our way out and our time? Just share if you will.

FYI: mom and dad and christa come to Norway in 3 weeks. I leave Norway for good in 5 weeks.
