In His Image School of Worship, Sandnes, NORWAY
Well, it's official! Norway has its first School of Worship in the Rogaland Area! This is a 'sister' endeavor with The Worship Arts Conservatory, our online school, and we are so excited about the possibilities here! I tell you, the people here have an extraordinary hunger for God's Presence and it's goose-bumpy amazing when they start to worship. We have encountered priests in the State Church (Lutheran) who just want all of God they can get, and this from a people legendary for not even being saved most of the time. Isn't that wonderful? What an amazing God who woos our hearts with such patience!
In addition to the teaching last night, there will be teaching and practical workshops all day today and then a worship evening that is open to the public, as well. This is the foundation for the school which will meet every Sunday evening for a year. It's off to a great start and there are 25-30 students signed up already. Please pray for Finn Geir and Kjell who are leading the school, they are wonderful men of God.
This is a pic of the lovely folks who came out last night to find God in a wonderful, new way. Vivien was a champ, of course, and delivered an inspiring, beautiful message about our need to worship God's way, not our own. Sorry it's a bit blurry but all I had was my Ipod Touch and the lighting was typically low. Norwegians either have candle-light or they just turn the lights down until that warm, fuzzy, warm glow just happens. I think it's a sweet defense against the rainy, cold night.
Vi vil opphøye deg,
Kong Jesus,
Hvert et kne skal bøye seg
for deg.
Vi vil opphøye deg,
Kong Jesus,
Ingen er som du,
Nei, ingen er som du.
