The 12th annual Calvary Chapel Scandinavia Conference brought nearly 150 people together at a castle outside Stockholm for a powerful study through "The Sermon on the Mount". As always, the Spirit-filled fellowship flowed freely as people united to serve each other and worship God.
Blessed are the attendees of the 2010 Calvary Chapel Scandinavia (CCS) Conference for they shall be touched by God. Alright, so this statement might not appear in the official Beatitudes that Jesus so famously taught in His "Sermon on the Mount" (the theme for this year's conference teachings), but it holds true nonetheless.
The phrase "it was the best Scandinavian conference ever" continues to be the description of choice for yet another year as each year just continues to get better and better - as God adds His blessings and expands His work in Scandinavia.
More than 120 adults (incl. local visitors) and 25 children participated in this year's conference. The guest speakers this year were pastors David Guzik (now CC Santa Barbara in California), Nick Long (CC Siegen in Germany), and Kevin Fitzgerald (Crosspoint in Dublin, Ireland). Along with a few local speakers they lead a series of heart-piercing studies of Jesus' trademark "Sermon on the Mount".
"It was so neat to see God at work during and in between the sessions this year. The worship was so personal and the Holy Spirit really used the teachings and the times of prayer. I can't wait to see what God will do through those lives who were touched at this conference," says Joel Wickström, who was among the key planners of this year's conference.
For the second year running, the venue was Ekebyholm Castle outside Stockholm, which once again created a beautiful setting with its lake, park, sports grounds, lounges, etc. This castle is quickly becoming a preferred location for the Scandinavian Calvary Chapel family as people gather from all across Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Norway as well as other parts of Europe and America.
The teachings from this year's CCS Conference will soon be made available online.

Truly the blessings continued to mount and I can testify that God is moving in our lives even here at home after the conference :) I pray that we will continue to be sensitive to the Sporit of the LORD and allow Him to work in us as He wills. A great thank you to the leadership for organising this, the past and the future conferences to come. Truly you are storing up riches in His kingdom! :) Hugs all!
