Here are some exiting news from us out here in Northern Thailand. October 2019
In the last four to five weeks, a lot has happened here in the Ministry we are leading, Good News for the Shan. Among other things, there have been several Shan who have received Jesus, around 13-14 people, and we are busy following them up. Several of them we have been reaching out to for a while already, but suddenly there were several who wanted to take the full step out and accepting Jesus in their life.
On Sunday, we baptized five of those who became Christians in September.

A Man Got Healed and Visit From Norway
Here are some news from us here out in Northern Thailand.
We are now in the hottest and driest season in Northern Thailand, where the temperature begins to rise to 40 degrees Celsius.
In addition, we live in one of the world's most polluted places right now, due to a lot of forest and rice fields burning. There are jungles, fields, high mountains and valleys here.
March is often a bit like this, but this year it has been worse than in many years. We hope the rain is coming soon. (we do not live on a beach no, the nearest one is over 1,000 km away, I am longing for that now :)
The school summer holiday has also begun, and school start in Thailand is mid-May, a little strange for us who are from the West.
This newsletter will be about some news from our ministry as a man got healed, and more..

The rainy season has begun here now, so it's hot and humid and it can be a bit tiring at times.
I was a short trip to Norway in June, only me Tore, and I got a taste of some Norwegian summer as well. The summer in Norway has begun hot too, and that is not very usual.
In this newsletter I will write briefly about a few different things, such as: God's faithfulness toward us as a family, the trip I had to Norway and a some from our ministry, as a comment a child had after our Sunday school (read it in the end of this newsletter).
The picture is from Saturday and Sunday school

We are in one of the hottest months of the year now, and the summer vacation has already begun out here, but in our ministry we are not going to have a vacation right now.
This newsletter will mainly be about a piece of land we have rented for our ministry: Good News for the Shan, which has been an answer to prayer for us and has a great potential for the future and we have already seen some good results by just having it for a few weeks.
Got a Heart for a Village
When I moved to Thailand as a missionary for the first time in early 2000, I was quite sick and did not do a lot of ministry, but I had a motorcycle. I took a ride on my motorcycle every day on a hill where I had a good view of the whole Fang valley, and I prayed for the Shan people and that people should hear the Good News here. I also prayed for a village behind this place, and this is where we now have rented a piece of land and have a lot of our ministry.
I got a heart for this place and the village, but it was quite far (about 30 minutes with car) from where we started the ministry I was part of until 2016 (2003-2016) and we did not have much activity there, just a few sporadic house churches.

Newsletter December 2017
Here is a Christmas Newsletter from us here in Northern Thailand.
In Thailand, the "cold" season has begun, it means that you need to wear jacket in the morning and we do not have to use aircon. But if you live on the ricefield, it can actually be cold in the mornings, sometimes down to 10 degrees Celsius.
We have already started to have Christmas parties and preparations for Christmas parties here in Northern Thailand.
The month of December is a grate opportunity to tell the Good News to the Shan people, and they have very often not ever heard what Christmas is all about. It is also a very busy time in our ministry and for us as a family.
We will have some updates and two stories in this e.mail.
