Covering ground

Since the last post that I made in Alesund, Norway; I have made it much further down the west coast of Norway. Sandane, Bergen, Haugesund, and Stavanger. Go ahead... see if you can find them.

At each stop we've able to do so many different things from speak in schools, play in coffee shops, have times of prophetic painting, and lead worship at many churches! It has been an amazing adventure, and I can't believe that I'm able to get SOO much of Norway while I'm here and really experience the culture.
The culture here is very religious and steeped in tradition, which does not really leave much room for the Holy Spirit and we have felt the affects of it. At each stop we try to really pray and seek the Lord for what His heart is for the people and how we can personally minister to them where they are at. Erika has a huge heart for worship as well as ministry directly for the congregation, so many meetings lead into times of us praying over individuals and giving prophetic words for them. It has really been such a joy!! Here are some more pics of our travels.


This is Sandane, Norway! completely surrounded by mountains on 3 sides and the beautiful fjord on the fourth!

Yesterday we decided to go to Preikestolen (which means "The Pulpit" in English). Its a very famous natural wonder in Norway and the world. A beautiful view and just a shear cliff dropping FOREVER into the fjord! We were about an hour or so away from the top at this point in the journey.

This is a bit of a funny view, but it continues to go down even further!!


"Hanging" off the edge :)


A Norwegian camping lunch! Hot dogs, disposable grill, oranges, and kvikk lunsj for dessert!
Seriously.... the WHOLE country eats then when they go camping/ hiking.. especially at Easter.

at the top!


Erika and I

Wellspring leading worship with a church's youth band here in Randaberg. Such a great group of kids!! Later that night after the meeting we did a little concert and were able to just spend some time with the youth.
