Our Missionfield this year

Belgium and Germany!

Belgium
Capital: Brussels
Official languages: dutch (south), french (north), german
Population: around 11.200.000

Belgium became independent from the Netherlands in 1830; it was occupied by Germany during World Wars I and II. It has prospered in the past half century as a modern, technologically advanced European state and member of NATO and the EU. Tensions between the Dutch-speaking Flemings of the north and the French-speaking Walloons of the south have led in recent years to constitutional amendments granting these regions formal recognition and autonomy. (YWAM)

Germany
Capital: Berlin
Official languages: german
Population: around 82.000.000

In eastern Germany, Communism and after that economic difficulties left deep marks in the spiritual lives of the people. The Christian faith is reduced to the margins of society. Many people don't know what the Gospel is all about. (ECM)

Ministry to young people is vital for a fading Church. The large majority of active Christians are over age 50, and only about 2% of the nation’s youth call upon Jesus as their Saviour. There is a new openness to Jesus as the spiritual immunization of quasi-Christianity fades. (OperationWorld)

This is my amazing (missions)team for this year! (Eirin, Benjamin, Me, Tim and Livia to the right)

The great Commission - OUR Calling

GO! ...

I am pretty sure many of you feel like I did when i heard about mission and especially the "great commission"! - AFRAID! 

Well, I never said it out loud, bur honestly i was seriously afraid that God is gonna send me to Afrika or some place I really didn't want to go! I didn't even dare to think about it ...NONONONO!!! 

Lets take it from the beginning...

I was actually born into a "Missionaryfamily" (if that's a word). Even before I was born missions was something my parents had strongly on their hearts. When I was a baby we lived in Hungary, later on in Germany and then Norway and then we went to Germany again (my parents are still there), well and now I am here for missions in Norway! Somehow, without actually really thinking about it I stepped into the footsteps of my parents - I AM A MISSIONARY! 

My Calling!

Especially last week God called strongly on my heart to give my whole life for missions. Well that is quite a big and important calling - and to be honest, it freaked me out! 

It took me some time to let it sink in, but my heart is burning to see many young people in fire for God - and I would love to be one of many persons to serve Him to make that happen! My heart is bleeding when I see the broken hearts and the desperate longing for Love in this world. I am called to give them the only thing that can fill that hole - JESUS! 

Please stay in prayer with me! 

Pray that God my send workers and put a longing in peoples hearts to see that vision come true! 

So why do we need missions?

Do you actually understand the importance of us going out and telling people about Jesus and share his love? Do you think it is important? Well, if you don't think so... *PIEEEP* ...WRONG ANSWER! ... IT IS!
This is a thing about DEATH and LIFE! We are actually Lifesavers!

Think like this...
Titanic. The ship is sinking. Many people are in the water, screaming for help. Noone comes to save them - because they are afraid. They die.

Is this the end? 
But you do not have to be afraid, because God is there ALLWAYS!
And if he calls you - he gives you the ability to do it and to fullfill it, he sends helpers in your way and he makes it possible! 

This should not be the End! Your task is to go out and save those lifes!!! Be a Lifesaver! 

YOU ARE CALLED!
