The refreshing Atle
Atle came late to our gathering in the pastoral network at Gullbotn. He arrived the second day only, but what a blessing he brought with him. He was overflowing in praise and thanksgiving in his typical Pentecostal way. He is using the old Biblical expressions, Pentecostal jargon, strange sounds and a loud voice. To most of the pastors present he comes from a different planet, - expression wise, but he is so real, so genuine that the strange expressions don�t matter. His zeal for the Lord and his excitement are infectious. He came into our gathering and started to pray in such a way that we were all refreshed by his joyful and heartfelt praise and his passionate supplications. He added a great blessing to our gathering through his contributions during the day, but more than anything else he added something from God by just being himself. It is my prayer that God will make me a refreshing to all the people I meet, that I may add a different dimension of God into every gathering I am participating
