A Year to Remember

Pilgrims on the Scandinavian frontier look back on another year of God's faithfulness. The following Thanksgiving greetings have been sent in:

From Yuri & Lidia's home in Norway, Yuri Makassiouk writes:

"I am thankful most of all for my wonderful family which grows stronger and closer together by the year. Thankful that the Lord keeps us healthy and happy and in love. Another thing which I was blessed with this year is my eyes and heart being open to the power and the vastness of Christ's body here on Earth. There's no reason (and no time) for feeling weak and lonely. We are His hand in this world and it is not getting weaker or shorter. I'm thankful for being a part of it."


From the mission's field in Finland, Bob Pecoraro writes:

"We have many things to be thankful for, but obviously there are a few that stand out the most this year. The birth and healthy growth of our son Russell. God's provision over the last year, He has been so faithful! For the growth both in depth and width in both fellowships (in Turku and Helsinki)."


From Aarhus, Denmark Leah Molgaard writes:

"We are thankful for our blessed life together as a family, and the opportunity to live out our dreams in a peaceful society. We have never wanted for anything, never been threatened and never experienced illness to the extent that we had no hope."



From Mike & Sofia's temporary abode near London, Mike Ortiz writes:

"I am personally extremely thankful for my beautiful, strong, confident, supportive, loving and caring wife! There has been many amazing challenges and adventures that have brought me to newer heights with the Lord, and awesome relationships in Christ... including those made at CC Scandinavian Conferences. Thank you Lord!"


From Sweden's capitol of Stockholm, Joel Wickström writes:

"We have a lot of things to be thankful for here in Stockholm. The Lord has provided such a neat place for us to have the Scandinavian conference next year. We are also thankful that the Lord has sustained our fellowship after Mike and Sofia left for England. We still have a couple of people that are both committed to stay and believing that God wants to build something lasting in and through us. It is very encouraging I found. We are also thankful for the provision of the facility that we can use every Sunday night. It's normally an expensive place, but we rent it for free, which is quite amazing if you think about it."


From Hillerod, Denmark Daniel Jacobsen writes:

"In the past year, a tumor was found in my leg, and I'm thankful that the doctors were able to remove it and that my leg seems to be fine and that I'm able to exercise again. Also I'm thankful that the Lord has blessed our Bible Study and that we see people mature in the Lord. There is so much to be thankful for. Praise His name."
