This summer, a mission team is going out from Oslo to Bergen to bring the good news about Jesus to the people on the western coast of Norway.
New Church Planting in Norway
"Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can they preach unless they are sent? As it is written, 'How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!'" -- Romans 10:13-15
We are grateful to God for how He sent disciples from America to Stockholm in 1986, and from Stockholm to Oslo in 1994 to bring the good news about Jesus to us. This summer, a mission team is going out from Oslo to Bergen to bring the good news about Jesus to the people on the western coast of Norway.
Lately, we have seen the need in our lives to repent from a lack of vision for bringing the good news about Jesus to all the people of Norway. We want to be more eager to evangelize in Oslo and at the same time reach new places in our country.
The distance from north to south of Norway is approximately the same as the length of the US western coast. But even though Norway is stretched out in this way, the population is centered around the main cities in the four main regions of our country. Therefore, our vision is to plant churches in the main cities in the four regions and then for disciples in these cities to reach out to the people of their whole region.
Bergen is the second biggest city of Norway, beautifully-located between seven mountains. The population of the city is 250,000, and including the surrounding area half a million people are living in this region. Twelve disciples are going to move to Bergen and preach the gospel there from June on.
Please pray for the people of Norway and for us to be Christ's ambassadors today!
