We regulary hear from our 4 DTS teams on the mission field, and here is what one of the teams write:

PS: We have changed the names, so you will unfortunately not find your friends name here….

“…we must begin our tale from the past Sunday, the 15th of January: We pieced together a seminar for the local (…-)Church on evangelism. Every one (on the team) was surprised when our presentation was prolonged to a total of two hours, which we managed to accomplish without translation! We believe the presentation was well-received, or if it was not, they at least pretended to celebrate our work by stepping outside the church, (which is in the open – there are no walls), and knocking down some coconuts to refresh us.
Nichola used her God-given gifts of speaking to teens when we again visited the nearby high school to mentor the youth on four different occasions last week.

Her efforts, matched with the rest of our works through Christ, lead six girls receive our LORD, Christ Jesus, as their Savior! Wahoo! Despite the humidity and sweltering heat, our efforts were not in vain, and we rejoiced that the angels in Heaven were celebrating these girls´ decision!

Renate also enjoyed talking with a girl Martha Grace, who she had talked to before! This was such an encouragement to her, and Martha Grace was the one who initiated her friends´want to seek Christ, too! We are so thankful for Renate´s heart for this young lady, and new sister in Christ.
Merethe and Maria were our heroes on Wednesday when more than half of the team returned, yet again, to the school while simultaneously having the responsibility of planning a ladies´ Bible Study back at our residence. They executed this task flawlessly despite the pressure of finding the right notes and materials in a short amount of time. The topic: the Holy Spirit! And some received Him – we felt our efforts were (again) not in vain.
Our work here has been exhausting at times, but by God´s grace, our contacts John and Julie arranged for us to spend a day at (…) – a beautiful park covered in pools and waterfalls…”

With are joyful to share the news that we have sent out our 4 DTS-teams on their 10-week outreach! All four teams have already reached their destinations at the local places in Honduras, Thailand, the Philippines and another country in south-east Asia. What a privilege to be able to send out 22 students and 10 staff who will share faith in Jesus Christ, hope for the future and show love for people in other cultures and nations. Dear teams; you are busy with the most important task in the world!

TIME FLIES….

DTS is progressing with leaps and bounds! We have now had 6 weeks of teaching, where the topics have been God’s Father heart, relationships, evangelism, prayer, worship and God’s character.

RISK

We have also been allowed to participate in the project RISK. We were with the rest of the DTS in Norway and we splitted up into teams that went out to all countries in Europe. The goal was to win Europe for Jesus again! We were allowed to do it through prayer, encouragingchurches and evangelism. And when we came back we had many interesting stories to tell about what God had done! From Skjærgårdsheimen we went to the countries Switzerland, Germany, Estonia, Netherlands, Norway and Denmark.

EVANGELISM

We received a visit from Vincent Esterman who shared his experience with evangelism. After some teaching, we were allowed to put it into practice! So the whole DTS, along with Multi Team, joined Vincent in the center of Kristiansand. There he took up his sketch board where he writes it in a creative way to catch people’s attention. Many were fascinated by what he was talking about. Everyone who was listening were invited to a meeting at NMS. Here, students shared testimonies, sang and showed drama. Vincent invited people to recieve Jesus, to people accepted Jesus again! It was a splendid evening!

Welcome to a free Christmas concert at Skjærgårdsheimen Thursday 1. of December! We will also open a cafè at 19:30 – while the concert starts at 20:00. We will also serve some free snacks and cakes.

There will be different musical contributions by youth from Flekkerøy Curch and from Skjærgårdsheimen. Everone is warmly welcome!

18. to 20. November we got a visit from some great young people here at Flekkerøya. Together we got to know God better. Friday evening began with the get-to-know-eachother games that led to a lot of fun and laughter. Saturday began with a meeting followed by activities. We divided ourselves into groups and competed in various tasks. Our competitive nature was high and everyone wanted to win. Saturday night ended in a great worship night where we could express our worship to God in different ways. Sunday we had communion together and we heard many strong testimonies of what God has done in the lives of many of the students. It’s great to see so many young people together who want to explore and praise God for who he is. Thanks to all students who shared and helped to get the weekend to be so good.
