Record-breaking Attendance at Scandinavia's 10th Calvary Chapel Conference

With more than 70 adults and 15 kids involved from 10 different nations, this year's Scandinavian conference broke all previous attendance records. At the center of it all was God's Word, which was powerfully and passionately taught by a long line of guest speakers.

The work of bringing sound and thorough Bible teaching to the Scandinavian people received another encouraging morale boost at the 10th consecutive annual gathering of believers who are either active in ministry or in prayer on behalf of the nations of Sweden, Denmark, Norway, and Finland. Hosted at a remote campsite near the Danish town of Roskilde, this year's conference took its attendees through a 5-day journey of The Book of Daniel as guest pastors such as David Guzik (Siegen), Kevin Fitzgerald (Dublin), Glen Nudd and Stan Block (both Calgary) taught alongside local ministry leaders.

The conference stretched from Wednesday evening (a day earlier than normal, since this year's conference had been expanded with one more day) to Sunday at noon. Because of the high attendance, some of the attendees had to sleep in tents, since all the rooms and indoor beds were full.

"This is the first year we've ever had this problem - but what a great problem to have. We may have to start looking for bigger locations for next year's conference," says Daniel Jacobsen, who was one of the four people that helped plan and stage this year's conference in Denmark.

"It was an incredible blessing to see so many people uniting around the King's business here in Scandinavia and seeing them all be blessed by the teaching and the fellowship at this conference. I'm sure many new friendships and ministry connections were made," he says.
