At 0600 in the morning we met for prayer again. Today we were 14 people seeking God together and praying for his blessing upon our city. It is always so encouraging to meet with my brothers for prayer. There is nothing like being in the presence of God.
Every Tuesday morning Solveig is preparing a most wonderful breakfast for us, if she is not travelling the world! All the brothers appreciate her work very much because eating together is so important for our fellowship and relationships. There is something special in sharing a meal together and having a time of fun and joking as well as serious discussions on a wide variety of subjects.
At lunch time about 15 pastors met for a very nice lunch and a good time of fellowship and planning of joint endeavours to bring our city to Christ. I have come to appreciate my brothers and fellow servants of God very much. We have many differences but what unites us is more important than our differences. We have a commission form the Lord to work together for the welfare of our entire community. We are called to bless the city and all the people of God. When we are sharing a meal together we enjoy the blessings of living in harmony and peace with one aonther.

The Olympic Games opening ceremony
The Olympic Games opening ceremony
I am watching the awesome opening ceremony of the Olympic Games at the moment. Nation after nation is passing by in colourful clothes and beautiful customs. My heart is stirred and moved with compassion as well as joy and appreciation of the manifold display of human beings, all for whom Jesus Christ died to provide salvation and eternal life. I wonder about these nations of the world passing by on the screen in front of me. Have the heard the message of the Kingdom? Who is going to reach these precious peoples with the good news of salvation in Jesus Christ?
As I am looking on all these representatives of the nations of the world I am stirred to go to new countries in days to come. My heart is filled with compassion and a growing desire to reach new people groups in the next half of my life.
Oh, Lord, enable me to reach some of these nations with the gospel of the Kingdom of God! Keep my heart, burning, zealous for you, to claim the nations for you! Let my heart always be filled with compassion for souls. Give me a great harvest of souls for you!
