Ground-breaking conference in Scandinavia



Set in beautiful Swedish surroundings, this year's Calvary Chapel Scandinavia (CCS) conference ended yesterday after five days that will go over in CCS history as the most ground-breaking gathering so far.

God's Spirit provided fresh frontline fellowship among the 125+ people who attended this year, and as always the study through God's Word contributed richly to the atmosphere of Christ-centered unity. There was a clear sense of God working in and through all the ministries that were represented at the conference, and a strong feeling that this unprecedented work has only just begun.

Guest speakers Paul Lange, Cartie Carpenter, Nate Holdridge, and Stefan Höfer joined with leaders of local Scandinavian ministries to lead the congregation through Paul's Epistle to the Romans - in just 11 sessions. A packed, but powerful journey through some of the meatiest parts of Scripture.

Aaron Pratt from CC Finland led worship throughout the conference along with John Marsh, Brenten Powers, and a broad selection of talented musicians from various Scandinavian ministries.

Most of this year's attendees came from Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, and USA, although several people came up from mainland Europe.

The location was Ekebyholm Castle about 45 minutes outside Stockholm, providing scenic surroundings for the most attended conference in Scandinavian CC history.
