FINLAND

Together with Howard Norrish of OM, we had the delight of being part of a weekend seminar in Kauniainen Finland. 

Howard is one of the foremost experts on tentmaking and personally it was a joy to sit in on his teaching that displayed a life time of experience and knowledge. His passion for the children of Ishmael moved the listener to a new passion for them as well. The Finns had arranged a wonderful bible school for the venue and we were treated like kings. You don’t want to know what the weather was like outside. 

 SWEDEN

Together with Steinar Opheim of TENT, with the fantastic cooperation and planning by the Smyrna Church missions team, we ran a one day seminar that had more people than expected in attendance. This was the first ever seminar we have run in Sweden, and what a joy for me it was to be back in the church where I gave my heart to the Lord as a young boy. It almost felt surreal to be standing in the pulpit on Sunday morning, looking over the smiling faces and seeing the spot on the balcony where I had sat so many years ago. It was a great testimony of Gods faithfulness.

 FAROE ISLANDS

Steinar Opheim had the pleasure of flying to these islands in mid winter to meet with mission leaders. Future cooperation is now being planned, and some representatives of this small but missions committed land are joining us for the Bergen course. 

 NORWAY

The upcoming tentmaking business as mission course in Bergen Norway looks to be the most international one yet. Even though the course is not until June, it is already 95% full. If you are interested, please register now! We would hate to not be able to accommodate you, even though there are always other courses coming up.www.tent.no

 DENMARK

Steinar has worked together with the Danish tentmaker group and it has been a pleasure to see them attend our training in Norway.

 ICELAND

It is my personal delight to be running the first ever tentmaking seminar in Reykjavik Iceland in June. It is Steinar’s and my vision to see a Nordic Tentmaking Group be born out of these meetings and connections. Together we can do so much more!
