Salvation, spring up from the ground

As many of you by now may be wondering how the week of touring went, I'll tell you:
We saw people saved!

We're singing a song called Salvation on the tour (by Charlie Hall). And it has one line in it that goes: "let all the prodigals run home", and that's exactly what we saw. We saw many coming back to Jesus, people who once had been Christians but had fallen away. They now took a new stand for Jesus, recommitting their lives to him. It was GREAT! Not just hat, we also saw a number of people getting saved for the first time!

We had a lot of fun on the tour, laughing much, and worshipping in the mornings, eating and sleeping at churches and having our shows in the night. Our days were like this: driving to a new place, putting up the stage, sound and lights, and then hopefully have a run-through of the program, or at least have a sound check. Then people arrived, the girl danced, we sang and our leader had a presentation of the Gospel and their need to be saved, and then we prayed with the ones who responded.

In one boarding school, one night, we invited people to receive prayer, and I got to pray with three people. They were already saved, but they were touched by the message, and wanted prayer. So then I got to pray with them, and I had forgot how much I like doing that. I got to pray into their lives, and ask Jesus to touch them. It really made my week being able to pray with people.

And now I'm really looking forward to Christmas, and to this week. On Tuesday, we're going to Petra's last show in Norway, on their farewell tour. I am really looking forward to it. (You can say what you want, but I grew up listening to them).
Then on Wednesday we are going ice skating with all the staff on base, and on Thursday it's the first of December, and then I'm gonna eat marzipan and drink julebrus (Christmas soda from Hamar). Woohoo! And the week after that, we're going on tour again, around to places in eastern and southern parts of Norway. It's going to be great.

That's it for now. Check out my photo gallery with pictures from the Reboot tour. It's at http://pauliephoto.blogspot.com
Have a blessed time preparing for Christmas and enjoying this time.

Peace.
