The last lap!

It is hard for me to believe that in less than a week I will be back in Oklahoma.  The time here in Denmark has been wonderful and when I leave here, I have new precious friends!

The Bible School sessions on Prayer ended last Saturday and I cannot say enough good things about these people.  They are hungry for the Word and for moving forward in their walk in the Lord.  It has been an honor to serve them these last 5 weeks.  We have all learned together as we have studied about Holy Spirit and Prayer!

I finished my 5 week series on the life of Joshua last Sunday.  This study has once again challenged me and from the testimonies I have heard....God has blessed many lives through this study.  It has been a privilege to share the Word each week and pray together with these wonderful believers.  I am humbled by the trust of Pastor Kjeld to allow me to preach.

This week, I shared both my testimony and a word from the Word to a women's meeting held at the church.  Once again, Pia shared her gift of worship with us, she is great.  It was a great meeting with fellowship, worship, teaching and prayer.  We laughed together, prayed together and His Presence was there in a powerful way.  Once again I was in awe of Him and His faithfulness.

As I total up the time here in Denmark, God allowed me to share/preach/teach 34 times.  I will be honest, my voice needs a break but I loved every minute of it.  What a gift, what an opportunity, thank you Jesus!


I did get to go to a shooting range with Michael and two of the students from the Bible School. This was a new experience for me and I must admit it was fun - and I did hit the target a couple of times! (I won't tell you how many rounds it took to hit the target a couple of times!)  I later laughed when I realized that I had to come to Denmark to ride a horse and shoot a gun (real Cowgirl here)! Tomorrow, Joan will be taking me to her city of Sæby which is on the west coast.  Remember Denmark is not very large so to get to the coast is not that far.  I look forward to the time with Joan and seeing her city.  We will be touring some very old churches and hopefully I will be able to get some good pictures!  Saturday we are celebrating my hosts youngest daughter's 1 year birthday with the whole family.  It will be a fun time.  On Sunday, I will be able to sit back and hear Pastor Kjeld preach and minister!

I am scheduled to leave Denmark for the long trip home on Monday, May 9.  Thank you again for all your support both in prayers and financial support that has allowed this trip to become a reality.  I trust the Lord for His timing for when I can return and share again with these precious friends.
