18+gang

18+gang is the name of a group of 15 young people (0ver 18 years old) who have been in Mesnali from the 19th to the 24th Mars for Easter hollyday. They came from Norway, Cameroon, Madagascar(Hald) and Polish. Near by the Familly Camp, they were spendindnig the Holly week in sharing God's Word, life experiences, sport(basketball and football, ski) and Easter celebration in different land.
It was an occasion for some to learn from other countries many tings like making påske egg, waffler ...

In Saturday night, people went trough the forest two by two on a lot of snow. They were oriented by candels which indicated a specific point in the darkness, and there you could find some significant symboles or pictures about Easter and share little bit with your compagnon. The ways shown really how difficult was walking Jesus with all our sins in this period by its complexity to get to the next candle in the darkne and cold forest. Your partner was very needed and helpfull for this walk between rocks and over unseen gaps (there we understood why did Jesus send his disciples two by two in the world for the mission).

Glwadis (from Madagaskar), trying to get the way painfully between branches.Everyone met finally in a wooden house well prepared and there each could share about his own exprience during this walk.


Sunday moorning will be a new day. At 4 am everybody woke up and prepared onse for the next walk up to the mountain to see the new sun (when Jesus won the grave). It was -24 and the marche should be hard for africans; however we did and the result was a great success up on the hill (great joy). We arrived accuratelty at the time the sun started to appear very elegantly in the horizon with a beautifull colour (symbolising happiness...).A Sunday service took place! We could feel a real blessing in this place. It was like one familly and people looked at each other with true smiles. We shared some hot chocolate, took pictures and went down after that with a lot of funs. 18+ drove back home around 7.00 am.

The evaluation of the camp happened and the appreciation is good in general. Glwadis from Madagascar presented our school Hald and everything seem to be interresting for our folk.
The whole meeting was under the control of Turvik to who we're giving geat tanks for her good planning.

An Easter never lived before like this for many of us. The full spiritual sense that took all the stay in Mesnali gave 18+ a feeling of a united familly that, leaving from each other, became harder than broken heart. Nevertheless we won and gave warm Hugs to each and left with reminding images.

We tank everlastingly our Lord for his Great love to us.

Gla' Festival 2008.

Children playing on the floor.

Children trying to stand up togethe, sitting back-to-back.

These 26 and 27 of January in Kristiansand, about 70 youngs from nms_u met in Lund-kirke. There were children from 7 to 12 coming form diferent regions of the region. Bente, the New Ungdomsarbieder in NMS_U Agder and her team of 7 members were receiving children this Satusday at 11 o'clok, helping them to install writing names. Roger and me, Charles, students of hald in practice in Arendal, arrivved and started as supplementary leaders. We got each a group of about 8 children to and leaded some games that help to know other participants. kids familiarised themselves to these to new Africans and became very soon good friends.

After the lunch many groups were formed (dance, football).

Misjonsnar?

From left to rigth: Charles (Cameroon), Thiago (Brazil), Sak (Laos) and Rock (Madagascar)

They were teaching in the confirmation classes of Mandal. About 15 students from Hald were presenting something about mission and the christian's life during 210 minutes in different ways ( songs, drama, speeches, testimonies...).

For me it was an exiting thing to take part of these students and to be called Missionar for the first time in my life. I realised that those who dream to do that work can, one day, see there dream becoming rea. God can use you if you want really to serve him, and He provides everything you will need for this job.

My team spetially wondered me by the particularity of each of us, when is came to do something in your turn. We had each something new from our country and churhes ( Cameroon, Brazil, Madagaskar and Laos). This five gys shared with "Konfirmater" on the christian's responsability as missionaries through the world, the testimony, how do different organitions work in the Mission organisation in Norway and the possibility to join them.

After three teachings of 30 minutes each, the internatinnal missionar team left very happily and honored by the priest who was so greatfull. This is a great encouragement to follow that JOB.

Sunday Service at Hald.

It was snowing since two days in the South of Norway and there is about 70cm high of snow. The land is almost white and we don't hear so much noises except some seldom cars. It looks very nice and we Africans students are enjoying that by playing snow war.

Yesterday our trip was cancelled because there is too much snow and the bus could not drive. It was really sad but we just stayed home.

Today is Sunday and we were supposed to have service in the Big Wooden Church in the Mandal Town. Until now the ice is not gone and people can't walk. But this is not the problem today that can make hald's students changing their plan, maybe just modifying it. Students in infield courses will have their own service in the Big hall. Since 10.30Am some students are asking already Paulette ( the staff assistant) to open the door. They are all ready. Soon 15 of the 26 are present in the room and the thing is still going on. Sammy from Keyna greets his friends and prays before they start by worships songs. Then some of our members presented their testimony. It was very emotionnal to hear a friend from Thailand giving his testimony about how difficult is it to be Christian in his land, specially if you were Budhist like him before. Howevere he ended by tenking Jesus for the truth He brough to his familly and him and asked Brothers and Siters to continue praying for him.

After a very quiet moment listinnig to this courrageous guy, I cryed little bit and ask myself if we could have this possibility of sharing if we went to the church today. Then we had a Speech of Joseph from Keyna in Genese 4:1-16 where he summarized by, we should not be angry, neither have downcast face like Cain, but should do what is right in order to be accepted, if not the sin is crouching at our dooor; it desires to have us but we must master it. We continue praying for each other and singing happily.

Even without a priest we had a very rich sunday service fulled of blessing. We spent 90min, not watching a football match, but sanctifying the sunday as we could. I though that day it was special and that is why I am writing this like my first publishing in the blog.

Make worthy your sundays
