The New Normal
Greetings!

After a long, but relatively mild Winter, we are finally starting to see signs of Spring all around us. We all hope this pandemic ends soon, don't we? Some people hope for a return to what used to be normal. Some anticipate a new normal.

This last year and a half of uncertainty has been hard for all of us. But, it has also been one of the best times for the gospel that we have ever seen. For many, this was the season when they met Jesus for the very first time. The absence of normal in the world is what made them seek life in Christ.

We were never called to live an ordinary "normal" life in this world. We were created for a different reality - a life lived by faith. May we each continue to be the hands and feet of Jesus to those around us. We are so grateful for your love and prayers!

Thank You for being our faithful partners,
Jim and Lynn
The Son is Rising
"But for you who revere my name,
the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its rays."
Malachi 4:2

Our Swedish partners asked us to help establish an English outreach for women on social media. In 11 months, God has given us 175,000 followers from 45 nations. Lynn posts daily on this site. On an average week, her posts reach 50,000+ women with 4,000+ direct engagements. Now we are planning for the first digital English version of Junia Magazine by Summer's end.
When the salvation prayer was posted, women were asked to write "Amen" if they were receiving Christ for the first time. In the last 10 months,1800+ women have said "Amen" to Jesus. This is something only God could do. Please pray for these new believers. Many live in nations closed to the Gospel.
Here are our close friends and partners, Roger and Marie - the directors of Mission International and Sisters International. Mission International specializes in internet evangelism with websites and social media pages around the globe. Starting in May, there will be "100 Days of Prayer" for the top 100 Swedish cities. Roger has already secured coordinated web domains for 85 of the 100 cities for intentional outreach.
We continue to meet and coach leaders and catalysts. Here are a few. Clockwise, from top left: 1: Soul-Switzerland, 2: Mang-India, 3: Eugene-Sweden, 4: Valery-Russia
We are honored to coach three regional leaders in northeast India as part of ReachGlobal's 18 month long Catalyst Training Program. This is a unique course to equip recommended leaders and church planters to catalyze movements of churches in their nations. The enrolled leaders come from across Asia. We pray that the fruits of this project will expand to many nations and organizations.
We are leading the developing partnership between M4 Europe and Converge's Europe Mediterranean Region. The 4 M's are: Master, Mission, Multiplication, Movement. M4 is a Norwegian based two year church planter training program now in 15 nations and expanding rapidly. This partnership will be significant for both Converge and M4.
Here is a recent M4 introductory meeting in southern Russia. As part of Converge's Europe Mediterranean Impact Team, we are excited about the open doors God has given us in the Russian Federation.
We continue to preach and teach online via zoom and other media. Here Jim - in our Stockholm apartment - preaches on Palm Sunday to Redeemer Grace Church in Geneva, Switzerland.
Lynn often gets requests to share her social media posts. Here is one in Portuguese that appeared on a Brazilian pastor's Instagram page.
On 28 February, Lynn's Mom left us for heaven. She had just celebrated her 92nd birthday. The pandemic prevented us from traveling to be with family. It's so difficult trying to grieve long distance when you really need to cry together.
