Just wanted to share a huge praise....
My visa has been approved and I get to continue on here in Sweden!!!! What a huge answer to prayer!
It was actually a bit of a surprise! You see, they had told me that they wouldn't even look at my application for renewal until after my original visa was expired - the 17th of January. It was a huge surprise then to find an email from them - on the 16th of January - saying that my visa had been approved! It was certainly an unexpected blessing!
It was also nice that I was able to be in Stockholm with friends at the time! We had a great time of rejoicing and thanking God!
Thank you so much for all of your prayers!
I'm ready and excited to begin this next leg of ministry here! Please continue to keep us in your prayers!
God bless!

Praising the Lord!
I just want to praise the Lord for His tremendous goodness and grace - for His direction and leading in my life! I praise the Lord for the new opportunities He gives us to serve Him everyday - for the privilege of serving Him here in Sweden! Each day brings new challenges and new blessings - new opportunities to marvel in the character of God. His holiness. His mercy. His love. His wisdom. His righteousness. His faithfulness.
God is so good to us! May we always rejoice in Him - using every circumstance and ministry as an opportunity to bring all glory to Him!

Bible Club Review/Pics
I'm praising the Lord for a wonderful week of Bible Club! 21 different kids were able to hear the Good News of the Gospel! It was exciting to watch the kids learn about God - many of them for the first time! And it's such a blessing to hear that they, even now, can still remember the songs/verse they learned during the week! Stuff is sticking in their minds - and we're praying for the Lord to do work in their hearts!
We're also working on doing some smaller Bible Club-type meetings on a more regular basis. The kids keep asking when we're going to have Bible Club again! Thanks for your continued prayers!

Go ahead and grab your umbrella, because in life, there will be times when you journey through the storms. You see, in this world in which we live, the rains will fall. That is a guarantee. Trials will come - and they are going to come to everyone. Just because you are a Christian, don't think for a moment that life is going to be easy. There will still be pain, sorrow, and heartache. The good news, however, is that, as a Christian, you do not have to weather these storms alone. You have a solid foundation in Christ.
