Marc Van der Woude just got back from a training of emerging church leaders in FINLAND, and some serious soaking in hot water. (Link) The blond one is Heli who was with us in Switzerland recently. Oops. Sorry – they are ALL BLOND!!!
Marc – i am soooo jealous! See you in Aberdeen! Marc also offers some good advice on apostolic teams from our mutual friend Erling, the blogger-poet-apostle from Norway who you probably know from I Am Somebody.
Emerging Church Leaders: Finland
it would be great to connect with people in the neighbouring countries to see how we can equip and encourage each other in missio dei.
Hello.
I work at a church in the US. One woman from our community is an exchange student, returning home to Finland in one week. She came here as an agnostic and is returning as a follower of Jesus. She is eager to be among brothahs and sistahs who are following Jesus today (as opposed to 100 years ago). I googled “emerging church” and “Finland” and got this site. Is there any information you can give me about churches in Finland? I’m pretty sure she lives a couple hours north of Helsinki. If you know of any (or are!) a more post-modern, reformING-rather-than-reformED church, let me know, because i’d love to send her back prepared to follow Jesus in her homeland.
Thanks!

compliment of tthe season , how is health , work and your famliy , l hope all is fine , please l know u have ur own responsibility Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ (2 Thess 3:17), Who by his power we partake in the Gospel of his kingdom according to his last command to his disciple(Matt28:19).I got your contact through an internet .please l need to furthermore my education, this is what happy to me . l am a boy of 19year old , schooling in high secondery school Umuahia Abia state , my name is nkemuakolam peter . This was what happened to me: It was all from an orphanage home bought by lovable couples whom showed me a true convincible love and made me believe they are my biological parents and I thought so much of it due to the fact that I grew to know them as my dad and mum, and they showed real love on the other hand. They trained me through day care, kindergarten, primary and Mid-secondary level. Unfortunately, just a day death took them so unprepared in a ghastly motor accident ( while I was in Senior Secondary 3) and now my adoption starts to prevail through my thoughtful so called relatives whom I then looked up to, rather I was told that I didn’t belong to their family, that
I was picked from Benin Republic not even Nigeria, I was down cast and bundled out in the street. No more schooling which I desire with all my life in my generation, no shelter and feeding is not what to write home about, so as God may have it, I dropped by with a sympathizer for now who told the parents all about me and they provided me with a shelter and feeding. I should find a way to survive with my fate and future no matter that I long to be in a higher college and I want to make it no matter that they can’t do that for me, that I can see that they have their own responsibility, ok I now went out looking for job to see if I can meet up my destiny but I didn’t get any. It was a tragedy I can’t help myself to come off with the shock of my creation. Path over this wicked world, however, I know it’s not my fate as I believe that Him upstairs (God) has an unfold positive reverse state over my miserable wretched story. How can I start, it seems like this I look around me and see
> > myself, I feel regret and dejected with no parents, uncle or relatives. All have forsaken me with no regards over my life future or welfare. However, I know my destiny cannot be denied rather can be delayed. All it required is time so for now I don’t know where the going boat is taking me to. Unless there will be a miracle but I wonder where and how the miracle will ever look like. may the almight father be with u
Thanks
