Jan & Steve in the Arctic
23rd – 30th March Tromso - 200 miles North of the Arctic Circle
The Tromso Baptist church is the most northerly Baptist church in the world.
The sun doesn’t rise above the horizon for 3 months of the year.
We have received reports that a large percentage of the young people are depressed. There is nothing to do, so many are turning to drink and drugs.
Part of the aim is for us to encourage the younger Christians and go into the nightclubs to get alongside those who have not yet come to faith.
We will be encouraging the church. Preaching, teaching, leading worship, evangelistic concert.
A scripture was given to Jan in a dream just recently……Zechariah 6:8 Then he called to me. “Look those going toward the north country have given my Spirit rest in the land of the north.”
It is our belief that the Lord is preparing the way before we even arrive and that He, seeing the bigger picture, will pour out His Sprit as we faithfully minister in the North.
We have never been to the Arctic before and once again find ourselves stepping into the unknown but after receiving this scripture we are very excited and can’t wait to see what God is going to do.
