As I live here, meet young people, share in youth groups and interact with university students,

I realise this nation is in much need of God. Relationship with God is out of the picture as pressures, expectations and di!erent agendas come people’s way.

How do we present Jesus to an “un-churched” generation that has very little reference of

Christianity impacting their society?

In my Swedish language class for immigrants (SFI) the teacher talks about Sweden’s ways, laws and shared freedoms. Some students ask “varför” (why) is it this way in Sweden? Not all have grown up with the same rights for education, equality of gender, respect, freedom of speech, etc.

ŝƐĐŝƉůŝŶŐƚŚĞEĂƟŽŶƐ-- Oh, how I wish I could say in Swedish that it is because of the biblical heritage and godly

ŶŐĂŐĞ ƵƚƵŵŶϮϬϭϭ

in"uence Sweden has had.

Nowadays Sweden is known as a secularized nation. What will happen in the generations to come if it con-tinues so? How long will Sweden have the stability and security it has now?

God shared something very special with me regarding Sweden. He said when missionaries left to go to other nations, they prayed with tears: “Lord, remember my land”. I heard the Lord say these prayers are stored up in heaven and He wants to pour them down on Sweden.

We have to pray, seek His wisdom and walk in His ways to see change. We have to work together to see a renewal in this land.

We have to start seeing this nation as a mission $eld! God cannot be forgotten or taken out of its society.

I believe much will happen through young people, and we need to learn God’s ways in reaching and releasing them. They are in danger!

Let’s be present in society, alive in God, and express him in all we do!

During the 50th celebration at Restenäs last year, a team of four leaders were appointed to carry the leadership for YWAM Northern Europe, which includes: Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Iceland and the Faroe Islands. We introduce you to these leaders.

Cheryl Harrison (USA) has been with YWAM for 27 years and given more than 15 years to the people of Latvia. She is chairing the national leadership team of Latvia and overseeing the pioneering in Estonia. Cheryl lives in Jurmala, close to Riga.

Tove Kirkebye Poulsen (Denmark) has served with YWAM for 20 years. She leads the largest YWAM property in Europe, at Restenäs. Tove has an international speaking ministry and is very involved in the University of the Nations.

Jonathan Lemmetti (Australia/Finland) has led many DTS’s and is one of the national leaders in Finland. He is married to a Finn, Hannah, and they have four children. They are based in Koivumäki.

Terje T. Konradsen (Norway) is the chairman of the team. Together with wife Eva, he has long ministered in the north and they live at the Borgen base close to Tromsø. They have been involved in regional and national leadership for more than 10 years.

I had a dream to study God’s word and to know God better. Who was the God that I was worshiping and following? So I was very happy when God called me to do an SBS. The $rst month in SBS was the most di%cult for me, because I faced my biggest fears. Those fears were studying in English and my ability to study. These fears I had from my secondary school; there I was told that I was not able to learn English or to study in the sphere of hu-manities.

God was gracious enough to give me strength

to go through the SBS by showing that with Him everything is possible. Now as I look back, I just can thank God for taking care of me in daily needs like my school fee, giving friends who accept me as I am, and a deeper understanding in my heart about who God really is.

SBS is known as an intense course of studying, but I would say that it should be known as a course of transforming lives.

In January this year I boarded the plane to Nepal for the third time. I had two months to gather information about development projects, $nd suitable places for projects, plan them and hope-fully start a project. The trip was part of a bigger vision of making use of the commitment and heart the Scandinavian peoples have for mercy ministries and development work. You just bring out the o!ering boxes, mention earth quake victims or something similar, and you will hear a loud noise from all the money being poured in. But I believe God has more for Sweden and Scan-dinavia than just giving money to a collection. I believe He wants us to also be his hands and feet to the needy. With that said I am the $rst one to push that we need to remember that what we

are doing is a way to reach people with the good news of the Kingdom of God. We start it by build-ing simple water and sewage systems in Nepal. We believe in giving lots of ownership and work with long-term goals, will be a way to see church planting among the least reached peoples. The vision is to bring the whole gospel, in words and deeds, to the ones who haven’t heard and expe-rienced it yet. It is also to show practically minded people, like myself, that they have a part to play in the great commission.

During this trip I was able to improve a fresh water system for a village of 40-50 households. The plan is to go back this fall and spend $ve to ten months to continue helping out with water and sanitation where there is nothing available. But this time I hope to go with a team of people interested in making a di!erence, even if they can come for only a few weeks. It will be simple projects and anyone who is practically minded can pitch in. I look for-ward to seeing what God will do with this project!

^ĞĞŝŶŐĚƌĞĂŵƐĐŽŵĞƚƌƵĞMy name is Anders, and I’m a 27-year-old Swede. I did my Discipleship Training School in Restenäs. Then, while on sta!, I met Pia, a girl from Switzerland who also shared my longing to go out and serve God in the nations. We got married and as we prayed about our future we felt led to go to Cambodia.

In 2009 we moved to Phnom Penh and began to study the Cambodian language and culture while we worked with YWAM there. We saw that it was a nation with much poverty and pain, but also with hope and beauty.

In December this year we will move to the city of Sihanoukville in southern Cambodia and pioneer a new YWAM centre there with a team of six people. One of our dreams is to educate “karaoke-girls” (prostitutes) and provide alternative work for them, such as tailoring. Sihanoukville has a huge sex industry that enslaves many poor and uneducated girls, many

of whom are still teenagers.

We are excited that we are beginning to see the dreams that we had while we were young becoming real.

If you are interested in $nding out how it goes, you can follow our personal blog: http://nilssonnews.wordpress.com.

Anders and Pia, with Liam, before returning to Cambodia to start a new ministry in Sihanoukville.

Why did you decide to come to Restenäs?

Mark - I did my DTS here 2009/10 and felt God saying that I should come back here. I thought that I would help out with the DTS; but I ended up coming to do maintenance because I felt God said ‘not now’! I am an educated carpenter.

When do you feel most ful!lled in your work here at Restenäs?

Mark - When I see something happen. When I get to use my talent in carpentry. I hate breaking things down, but I love to build things up! We are renovating Tallåsen at the moment and I am enjoying the ‘building up’ process….

Who is your biggest role model and why??

Mark - I would say my pastor at home in Denmark. He is a great guy. You can really see God through him and I have always looked up to him.

Short facts about Mark:

• He’s 23, Danish and very tall.• Mark owns a lot of movies.• Been sta! here for 1 year.• Helped lead an OAS team to India

dŚĞƐĞĂƌĐŚĨŽƌĂůŽǀŝŶŐ'ŽĚ“Three Swedes, two Koreans and an Englishman walk into a church one Sunday morning.”

Sounds like the start of a joke, right? But it’s not. This is what it can look like when we come to your church. The YWAM team visits youth groups, conferences, seminars and churches. We come to engage with people, encourage and inspire them with our stories from the mission $eld, and teach on having a passionate relationship with God!

We recently visited a school where we shared about God to a group of 50 high school kids who have little or no knowledge of who Jesus is. They were a lively group but when they heard how God heals us and takes away our addictions, they put down their mobile phones and listened. This generation is searching for a God who loves them, who won’t let them down as their parents and friends do. They are longing for something to live for. We want to get out there and share the truth with them!
