Blessed and Challenged by Growth in Hillerod

Since the Scandinavian conference in early August, the Bible Study in Hillerod, Denmark has doubled in size, leaving Daniel Jacobsen's ministry team with some fresh challenges.

On an average Tuesday evening in the Danish town of Hillerod - a suburb north of Copenhagen - 10 to 15 people cram together in Daniel Jacobsen's apartment for a weekly Bible Study. In only two months, the home group has doubled in size, with a few brand new believers having joined the group. Even a few non-believers are beginning to attend the studies.

"Since the summer break, we've been going through the Gospel of Matthew verse by verse, and it's been an exciting time," says Daniel Jacobsen, who teaches and hosts the Hillerod Bible studies.

The Hillerod Bible Study has existed for a year and half now, and with the recent growth, Daniel and his team of ministry leaders have a new kind of challenge on their hands.

"We would really covet your prayers for this group to remain one in the Lord and to become like-minded in our vision for this ministry. With the new additions to our group, we have new situations to deal with, such as making sure we keep the unity in our group," Daniel explains.

Leading the Bible Study on the side of his full-time job as an accountant, Daniel also asks you all to pray that he will have enough time and grace to prepare thoroughly for each week's study.
