Hello from Oulu!
Written by Peter Youngren on September 21, 2009I left Canada three days ago on my way to Pakistan. News of another bombing that killed 33 people dominated the news two days before I left. What drives this mission is to give everyone an opportunity for the Gospel. Yes, there are terrorists in Pakistan, but also millions of precious people hungry for Jesus.
On my way to Pakistan I took a detour, to visit Oulu in Finland, close to the Arctic circle. This is a thriving university city with a growing population. The Evangelical Free Church was celebrating its 125th anniversary, and had asked me to speak in four outreach services. The people were not focused on reminiscing about long ago “when God moved”, but keen on presenting Jesus to new people. The Saturday services were held in a concert hall to accommodate more people. I was amazed when I gave the invitation to receive Christ in the first service, it looked like about 25% of the people responded, and it continued like that meeting after meeting. When I gave the people opportunity to come to the microphone and honor Jesus for healings that had happened, many gave praise to God. It was quite a display of joy in conservative Finland, The second day he services were held in the church, and I’m happy the fire department didn’t check on us, because we were filled to way beyond the allowable capacity, including the church foyer.
I hope you have a chance to watch Grace TV by cable or satellite in Canada, and streaming in the rest of the world, http://www.gracetelevision.net. While I’m away we have special guest hosts, Mike Zanker, Randy Srochenski and Megen Thurber. Well, I’m on to Pakistan. Let me hear from you. -Peter

Although we are not able to see your Grace - TV but enjoying your news letter thru e-mails and thanking the Lord Jesus Christ for your dedication and boldness to save the dying souls on any cost or risk.
I am that man who were in the Bible college in Dehradun (North) when you came and gave challenging message that touched my heart and also attended your Delhi crusade. Now I am that person, God is using me almost every state and cities of this vast land of India thru crusades, conventions and also thru seminars in different colleges, schools and even in seminaries.
We are in need of your prayers and blessings that we may be faithful stand when Jesus will come to take His Bride. Amen.
