We have had a lovely time in Bergen and I wanted to share some of our favorite experiences with you. One of the best, of course, was worshiping at the Reform Norge Conference with Mark Stibbe (from the U.K.), 'Surprise' Sithole (from Mozambique) and the Reform Norge leaders including Elin Fagerbakke and Håkon Fagervik. The teaching was inspiring and the worship was wonderful! Thank you, Reform Norge, for the privilege of being here with you to pray for this beautiful land.
Vivien with her mandolin. That smile says it all!
Praying for Norway with passionate, on-fire Bible Students.
Bergen is a beautiful city established on the edge of a fjord. Originally the capitol of Norway, it is considered the center of trade in the nation. Learn more about Bergen here:
The Bryggen: a famous row of Hanseatic businesses now part of the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Sites and a must-see when visiting Bergen.
Another cool statue of a fisherman with Bergen in the background.
There was a marching band making its way through the streets that we weren't quite sure about. It had several boys from ages six to sixteen with drums and also guns that looked like crosses. They were very serious about what they were doing but there wasn't any banner to tell us who they were. I thought this wee fellow was particularly adorable.
Onward Christian Soldier!
Norway is filled with awesome details like the faces of the King below.
Typical Norwegian folk art. Vivien has that flute, of course ;)
In addition to cool, amazing details like the faces of the King,
Norway ALSO has weird and funky art like this sculpture of Ibsen.
Seriously. Really???
I will leave you with this last peak of Bergen before we head off to Stavanger
to hang out with our dear friends, Astrid og Paul and Helga og Ordin.
Kisses to you, Bergen. You have been delightful!
