Karasjok!

10th-15th of October we spent some great days in Karasjok!

The first two days we were together as a team, praying, worshiping and working with things like songwriting. 

Saturday to Sunday we had an amazing time as we got the opportunity to be a part of the Confirmants' Camp! We started with a 16 kilometer hike up to the cabin Ravnastua, where we really got to connect with the youth. They were a wonderful group, and we had many great conversations with them. Other highlights from the weekend was Ester and Aslak's relationship talk with questions and answers and an awesome girl's night in the cabin. It all started with the girls wanting to share ghost stories - but in stead we shared "Holy Ghost-stories" about the Bible and God's power in us. We also got to pray, as five girls made a commitment to Jesus and inviting the Holy Spirit into their life, and we even experienced three of the girls getting healed from headaches and back pain!

With the whole group we got to share some songs, a play about the Lord's prayer and Joy shared her testimony. 

Sunday we hiked back down and had to say goodbye to the youth. Sunday night we had the privilege

 of leading worship at the Pentecostal Church for their meeting.

Fortunately we got to see some of the Karasjok youth again Monday, as we had a time of hanging out with them at the Church before our meeting. Here Mary shared about the Treasures of God's Glory and how the Sami culture is so precious to the Lord. 

Monday night we had a great time at Franziska's (the new priest) house where we had pizza and some good conversations.

Our last day in Karasjok we went to the Sami Parliament, where the King and the Crown Prince of Norway visited for the opening of the new parliament. We blessed the parliament and the leading of  the Sami people as we prayed inside while the opening was happening. It's quite amazing how we can carry God's presence into places by just being there and inviting God to be enthroned. It is an exciting time for Karasjok, a new season, fresh wind blowing through the North. 

After the ceremony ended we headed up north to Vadsø!

Be blessed! We're excited for what's on God's heart for the next week.
