Sweden Report
This past weekend the board of directors of LifeStyleTV met in Sweden. It was a blessing to see how God has continued to sustain and expand the ministry there. Thousands are being reached by the good news of the gospel 24/7 through the Canal Digital network, which along with the free-to-air Thor II satellite has more than 5 million viewers in Denmark, Sweden, Norway, and Finland.
Friday was spent in meetings. On Sabbath morning I gave the sermon at the Malmo, Sweden church.
For the Sabbath afternoon program Danny Shelton spoke, sharing thrilling testimonies of how God is using television to reach the lost with the Three Angels’ Messages. Back at LifestyleTV we had an open house int he evening, with a ribbon cutting and dedication service for their new studio. At 9 PM we hosted the very first live broadcast from the studio.
The live broadcast hadn’t been promoted except around some of the Adventist subscribers to LifestyleTV’s online newsletter. Within minutes of our program, however, a group of young people from a youth house in Oslo, Norway, emailed a message saying that they were Christians and were watching and enjoying the programs on LifestyleTV! It was exciting to see how from such a small beginning God is working to reach people who otherwise could probably not be reached.
Here’s the team who pulled off the “Direkt” (“Live” in Swedish”) program Saturday night.
Early the next morning I was back on the road, heading for my flight to Paris, then on to Atlanta and Little Rock. Tomorrow I’ll be heading to India with the Seniors! Thank you for your prayers!!

Thank you for sharing the pictures from Sweden! It’s great to see many of my Scandanavian friends that I recognize. It’s really neat to see how God is using them!
