Almost after meeting in Hammerfest we left to Honningsvag. After some interesting experiences through tunnels under sea and door that closed behind us when we went in… a bit scary the first time, but we did it.



In Honningsvag Kyung Ok was already waiting for us with sunny welcome from Tone. We all got our OWN rooms! And we needed to get ready for the next meeting. Here we did the drama “Chair” and then had time with the kids.





On Monday (12.01) we had day off…that felt so good after all those meetings and traveling. But anyway we had to do some preparing for Tuesday. We could have the teaching at the 10th grade the next morning at 9 AM. So, Andrei had prepared a great teaching about how it is to be a Christian in Russia/ Belarus and off course we had some testimonies.

Wednesday starts like “Arctic Adventure”… Tone was knocking on the doors waking us up, telling us we had to be ready in 10 min! But the rest of the day was 1 big blessing for us! We could go to the North Cape together with the tourist bus and the weather was so good for the first time in a month! The trip was sooooooooooo… beautiful!!! At the North Cape we had a little prayer meeting, because the wind was a bit colder and stronger than we thought. And then we had a little tourist moment in the store, coffecorner and the movie! It was an amazing experience!







That evening we had a prayer meeting in church. Here in Honningsvag they started three weeks of “Divine Experiment”. So, this week we have been a part of prayer meetings also.

On Thursday (15.01.) we had a day at school in the 8th grade again. The teacher asked us to teach about “the Bible”… and NO evangelism stuff! We taught 2x2 hours. Andrei told some facts about the Bible and then we had two testimonies about how God still lives today, about healing. Tone had given us Norwegian youthbibles, we could give then. We gave them all a biblestory to read and then they had to act it out, like it happened today. In the end we told them, they could keep the Bible… they were very happy about it!



On Saturday (17.01.) evening we decided to have a party for the youth and it should to be grand: chips, saft, soda, movies, LIGRETTO, 50 youth, conversation and plenty of fun! David made posters and boys hanged them around town... The evening came, but not the youth:) We just have not guessed, that whole town was in full swing of the parties this evening …

On Sunday we had day off again. And Kyung Ok invited us for dinner where we also had good time of conversation. In the evening time we got a wonderful opportunity to visit an art museum of Eva Schmutterer (www.evart.no).

And on the next morning we have moved further… Karasjok…

So, Hammerfest – the world’s northernmost town – is one of the most important travel destinations in North Norway. The borough has approx. 9300 inhabitants, and a surface area of about 844 km2. It covers parts of the islands of Sørøya, Kvaløya and Seiland, and since it was awarded city status in 1789, it has been the natural centre of the region. Trade and industry is characterized by fishing, fish processing, the Snøhvit field (LNG), service industries and tourism.

We have been in this nice town only 4 days (08.01. – 11.01.), but we met there a lot of wonderful and loving God people.

In the first day we had an opportunity to visit a youth meeting where three people from our team shared the testimonies and then we have sung some worship songs together. After meeting we had fun time with youth: we played games and spent nice time in conversation. On Saturday we had some time when we hanged out with youth in cafe. I am so inspired by time we had together!!!

Also on Saturday two people from our team had opportunity to share the testimonies on church meeting. And on Sunday we have lead family meeting, where we have shown our program with dramas, explanations, testimonies and of course games.

It was really nice place with really nice people. And all of us felt a pity when we left this city…

Finally we are in outreach. 7th of January we have left our base in Borgen and have gone more to the north to small town Hammerfest. But some wards about our trip… All our way we should be divided on two parts because of a bad weather. Mountains have been closed on one of sites of road. And we had to wait 2 hours for improvement of weather. But then we crossed mountains as a column of 20 cars (approximately). Sometimes during our way the wind was so strong, that we could not see the road, we could not see sky, we could not see anything around. So, we have spent 14 hours to pass 450 km. But not looking at complexity of road, we saw so many amazing places!

P.S. Thank you for your praying!
