Incredible Greenland

Greenland!!! Who would have ever thought of going to Greenland!!! When asked 4 years ago by Norwegian missionaries to Japan, I thought its just a joke or a passing remark. So jokingly I said, "Well if the Lord wants me to go to Greenland He will make a way for it to happened!!" He did and I have been there three times now. It may not be a major revival but I believe the sowing of seeds and the time of encouragement brings about a renewed vision for the Lord and His kingdom. I have been blessed by the hospitality and friendliness of brothers and sisters who have been there many years, especially from the Faroe Island.
I am grateful to the Lord also that my fellowship with the Greenlanders are increasing and I am praying that more Greenlanders will be added to the local church. The Greenlanders are a very different group of people that I have met before. Their nature and lifestyle is rather peculiar, especially their eating habits, eating raw seal, whale, polar bear and other interesting stuff. Their communicating skills are also interesting, using more of the eyebrow than the mouth or any other facial expressions. I am not sure if I am gonna catch much of that but I know that they need the Lord and thats what I can give and share with them. So far it has been good but slow. I pray that by going there more regularly (once a year) I can give more attention to the them. Do pray with me that the Lord in His mercy will save more Greenlanders. and that they will in turn touch others. They have the same population as the Faroe Island and the Faroese have sent out many missionaries. Pray that we will also see the Lord of the harvest to send forth labourers to Greenland and many Greenlanders to the utter most parts of the world. It is a special battle each time I go there. The enemy has ways of trying to get me discouraged but his schemes are not new. They are old but many times subtle. So be watchful and keep alert for the enemy is prowling around like a toothless, roaring lion. Praise God for the victory He promised already in Jesus Christ. Well not only promised but have already won the battle. PTL indeed. So keep looking unto Him who is the Author and the Finisher of our faith.

In Him
