We went to Walmart with our friend, Erika. The reason we went there was that we needed to get some groceries. That´s it. But we went there looking for a chance to share about how much Jesus loves us. The first man we talked to was 69 years old and was a baptist minister. We talked together about living for Jesus and how awesome He is. We got to pray for him and bless him before we all continued shopping. Then we saw a couple that we wanted to talk to and see if we could pray for. We just went up and asked them if they had any pain in their bodies. “Yes,” they told us that he had a regenerate disk problem in his spine and had pain there. He was on medication so he didn´t have any pain right then so he couldn´t tell us if he was healed after we prayed for him. He´ll know tomorrow morning! His wife had pain in her knee. We usually ask them if they can tell us how much pain they´re in on a scale from 1 to 10. This woman, Karen, had a pain that was about an 8! That´s painful. He knee was popping and it hurt badly. After we prayed for her once the pain dropped to a four. Great, but we wanted to go for total healing. That´s what Jesus wants for us. We had her husband pray together with us and ALL the pain left her! Thank you JESUS!!

It was so good! Seriously the best time at Walmart. But God wasn´t done yet! While we were looking for noodles (hehe, this is fun) we stood next to two women that work there. Cherryl had a bad knee pain so we just told her about the other lady that just got healed and asked her if we could pray for her. She was more than happy about that and let us pray with her. Totally healed of the pain! Betty Joe stood looking at the whole thing and we could see that she was being touched also. She told us that she had fibromyalgia and had pain in every muscle in her body. We prayed for her and seriously, she had absolutely no pain left!!! Isn´t God just the best?

One of the greeting ladies also had knee pain and was healed by Jesus. Jesus was moving through the store today and we got to partner with Him. That is so nice of Him. Thank you Jesus for using us! The last healing we saw at Walmart today was the check-out lady. She had wear and tear pain in her body, around level 4 at all times. I took her hand and prayed for her right there and the pain was nowhere to be found

Now, that was a good evening at Walmart. Sanna and I have never had anything near that happen before. We have prayed for people and have seen people healed, but never everyone that we prayed for like this time. It was fantastic! We have just been to a Power and Love conference with Bob Hazlet, Dan Mohler, Todd White, Gary Oates and Tom Ruotolo in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. That was a very good conference that focused on power evangelism. During that conference we really got released to go out and God has given us so much more boldness. Thank you Saviour.

On our way back home Erika asked us to pray for her jaw. It hurt and made it really difficult for her to eat because of the pain. Her teeth didn´t line up so when she bit down it was very tender and painful. We prayed for her for a couple of minutes and she didn´t feel anything change, but we didn´t let that stop us. God wanted us to press in a little more on this one. We kept praying and she felt some of the pain go away from her upper jaw. That was good! We wanted it to be totally healed though… After some more prayer she didn´t have any more pain in the upper jaw but it was still painful in the lower jaw. At that point she got really surprised and had a funny look on her face. “Guys, it moves in there! My teeth are lining up!!” Her bit was actually perfect! God healed her jaw and her teeth. And that was one the way back home from Walmart. Yay, God!

Thank you so much for reading about what God is doing. He is awesome! And He wants to heal you too. Just believe it and receive it. In Jesus name. Be blessed

Last time you heard from us was the day before we left Norway. Now we are here in Moravian Falls, North Carolina, and we´ve been here since Tuesday night. And it´s great!

I have to tell you about our travel to get here. We left Sanna´s sister at 7 am and went to Gardermoen airport outside Oslo. Our plane left at 10.20 am and we flew to Newark via Copenhagen. We arrived at Newark about 3.45 pm. At the passport control we got stuck! The security officer told us that he could only give us 3 months! We were shocked! I asked him about our visa, because it says one year on the visas in our passports. He told us that since we have business visas he couldn´t give us anymore than 3 months! When we told him that we were doing this mentoring program and really needed to stay here a year he led us to the secondary passport control waiting room. It´s for those who have something wrong with their visas, fingerprints didn´t line up with what they had last time, and stuff like that. We waited almost two hours before I was called up. Luckily a woman who worked for SAS came and got our names and took care of our luggage and rebooked our flight.

When I got up to the security officer he told me that we couldn´t get more than three months and that we had to go back to Norway and apply for a religious visa if we wanted to stay longer. I told him about the mentoring program and that we wanted to be here to get training for ministry and leadership and bring all that back to Norway with us. I gave him our letters of acceptance and he took them and told me to go back to my seat and wait. Sanna and I sat there and prayed and tried to stay calm while we waited for the verdict. Finally he called us both up and told us that he couldn´t give us more than 3 months but that he actually was going to do that for us anyways. He gave us 12 months!! That was totally God´s work! And the officer told us “God keep blessing you guys, God keep blessing you!” So that was really awesome!

Because of the delay we arrived at our new home later than expected, about 11 pm. We love it here! It´s so peaceful and the view is absolutely amazing! Chase, a wonderful guy that we live together with, has a good fire going in the fire place and we sit here and relax, read, pray, write, talk.. just having a very good time.

I don´t want to make these posts so long that nobody will read them. Instead I´m planning on getting new posts out more often then before Please keep us in your prayers and let us know if you have any prayer requests that you would like us to take with us.

Much love to all of you from us!

God bless you and keep you.

In about 6 hours Sanna and I are going to the Gardermoen airport to catch a plane. We´re moving to Moravian Falls, North Carolina, USA! We are very excited about going to the States to be part of Gary and Kathy Oates Mentoring Program! This time tomorrow we will arrive and it´s going to be our new home. God has been with us and we are very happy about this transition.

We will let you all now how everything is for us in a couple of days. It´ll be fun to read your comments which are most welcome!

Thank you all for caring about us and reading our blog!

God bless ya´ll!

Love,
Krister and Sanna

During our summer vacation we went back to Lakeland for 8 days. We met some wonderful people there who truly blessed us with their time and wisdom. We believe that we will meet many of them again “over there”. After our long week in Lakeland we were headed North to Moravian Falls, North Carolina. On our way God showed up and provided a ride for us from Charlotte to Moravian Falls. We sat at the airport with a sign asking for a ride and along came a wonderful man of God named Phil. He and his son were so good to us and they let us borrow a car for a whole week up in the beautiful mountains.

The first week we stayed in a lodge owned by Buck and Elaine Petty and it was perfect! They treated us so great and we long to see them again. The week after we attended a retreat named Transformation Summit hosted by Gary and Kathy Oates. It was truly the best week we´ve had together with God. He taught us so much. They host Transformation Summit in April/May next year also and we really want to encourage you to look at it.

While we were there we were told about Gary and Kathy´s mentoring program and we felt that it was the right way for us to go. After talking to them and praying over it we decided to join them as soon as possible. That´s why Sanna has taken a break from school and Krister from his job in the Army and January fifth 2009 we fly over to Moravian Falls. God has been with us during all our preparations and everything has worked out perfectly. We sold our car in a week, sold a lot of our furniture to a friend from Kristers work, received a place to store the rest of our belongings, a visa came through etc. Someone said that the safest place to be is in God´s plan, and we have experienced that these last months. “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose.” Romans 8:28.

During the Christmas this year we´ve traveled around in Norway to our families to be with them and say good bye for now. It´ll probably be at least a year until we see them again. We have visa for one year but we hope to stay for 2–3 years with Gary and Kathy and the rest of the team. We can hardly wait to get started with our new adventure. Please keep us in your prayers and we hope to hear from you while we´re in the USA. We will try to keep you up to date with newsletters and will also update this blog as frequently as we can.

Now it just remains to wish you all a very happy Christmas! We pray that God will bless you and keep you. That our Lord make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you; The Lord turn His face toward you and give you peace. (Numbers 6:24–26)

We also wish you a happy new year! Thank you for the times we´ve had together in 2008 and we pray that you all come deeper into God´s plan for you lives.

Much love from Sanna and Krister

We are staying here for two weeks. This week we´ll spend a lot of time with God. This place is special. You can feel that God is here. Absolutely. Next week is the Transformation Summit that we are here for. We´ll put more stuff up here about what´s going on as the days go by. I hope you will be blessed by reading this.

Last week was very good also. We were in Lakeland again and had a tremendous time with God and His people. We met some people who we definitely will keep in touch with. Many God-appointments. Last time we were there we got to go out and eat lunch with two couples from Ignited Church and this time we met them again and the days we spent with them was awesome. Both couples gave us some words that was in tune with each other so we know that it was something we were meant to get. Good God!

Bless you all! May His goodness shine upon you.

Krister
