”Assuredly, I say to you, no prophet is accepted in his own country.”  (Luke 4:24)


How it´s  like to be back in Denmark?  Different.  Atheistic winds are blowing.  So also here “the whole armor of God” is needed. Speaking of this I never get away from the fact that its purpose is not to be “super spiritual”, but to preach the gospel and be its ambassador no matter what the circumstances are, even to the point of chains. Compare  Eph.6:19-20.

Last night I went to an old neighbor with whom I share the daily newspaper.  He doesn´t deny  God but He means nothing to him.  As so often before I feel helpless, - very much “in chains” so to speak.  Religious people “say the Lord´s Prayer”, just as a list of words, but I said to him, “I will do it in my own words”, so I prayed for him before parting.

(This is  a  more natural thing to do in the U.S. than over here.  It´s to many Danes an “indecent exposure” of religion which is a private matter).

That neighbor still welcomes my small visits as nobody else would drop in.

On Nov. 21, D.V., I take the train to the north western part of Denmark to one of our major cities (Aalborg, on the map) where I shall find an open door for ministry.  An ardent atheist has agreed on meeting me, too.  I´ve been praying for him for a long time now.  We will meet one day during my stay up there Nov. 21-27.  Very exciting.  Do pray for me if you wish.

I´m re-editing my  small “gospel card” which I´m converting into  a neat folder in Danish, English, German, French, Spanish.  It´s going to have the same breast pocket size.  I also managed to have with me home (from CA) a big load of “silver coins” with Joh. 3:16 engraved plus  the urgent question, “Where do you want to spend the eternity?”  (in Danish).

The Lord bless you real good as Billy Graham used to say.  Let´s press on!
