Hi , 
        It takes a community to facilitate a church multiplication movement!  We are so grateful for all our partners!  To our new partners--welcome on board!  The journey is going to be exciting!  To those who have been with us for awhile--"Thank You!" for your faithfulness in finances and prayers! 
       We have been invited to Sweden to work with New Life Church Stockholm and Converge Worldwide in the planting of 20-30 churches.  YOU are a vital part of this ministry!
       Together we can make a difference!  We ARE a team working as ONE!

This is Sweden's Time...

...and Sweden Needs You! 

How does a country whose missionaries once touched every area of the globe become the #1 most atheistic nation in the world?  How does a whole generation become lost in secularism and materialism?  More importantly--how can this trend be reversed with a Holy Spirit awakening?   

       Europe has been called the darkest continent spiritually.  The long winter nights reflect what the enemy of God has stolen from the hearts of a beautiful people.  Who will tell these wonderful people about the power of Christ to transform lives? 

       God has broken our hearts with the overwhelming need in Sweden.  And we are asking people everywhere to help us reach this nation for Christ.  Who will tell these special people that Jesus loves them? 
    
       Together, we can!
