Hello Friends!
This is a November greeting from me! A new semester has almost past at YWAM Restenäs and what is Jenny really doing? It is a really good question that many have asked me. I would say my focus is mostly on teaching. I got some opportunities to teach outside of our Bible study schools. Once a week I am teaching in The DTS and have also been a stand in for my colleague Rosalie, doing bible studies in a prayer group within a local church.
We (me and two other ladies) are also about to start a new team that will work with getting teaching about how to study the Bible into churches and other places. I think God is up to something right now for his timing is just perfect. At the same time that we got this idea, there was a man with in a renewal organization within the “state church” who got a vision from God. He felt he was to create a platform for YWAM to reach out to the churches in Sweden. That also lead us to co-work with our own mobilizing team on the base and we had a meeting that was very inspiring for all of us. I notice that is not so easy to explain such thing that is just about to start. We don’t even have a name yet, but at least it is exciting to see all the possibilities ahead of us and try to imagine what God wants to do!
Except from the biblical studies and teaching this fall I have joined YWAM Restenäs’ Training Team, that overseas all the schools on our base. Our role is mainly to make sure everything goes on as it should and that our dear school leaders are doing well, but also look into the future of the training of YWAM Restenäs. At the moment we run four schools: Nine month Bible Studies, School of Intercessory Prayer, School of Communication foundations, Discipleship Training school.

Moreover I have also been to India!! I went there together with two lovely teenagers and a wonderful brother in June this year. It was a very good experience that I remember with much joy. Mostly we worked with the kids in the village where we lived. Two of our Indian co-workers are running an after-school program with the purpose to help the kids with homework, teaching English, singing and playing with them. During our two weeks visit it this program was in our hands. We did biblical dramas, English, Geographical teaching, singing and dancing. Father Abraham quickly became a favorite no matter in what language it was sung. I was so encouraged to see how God uses our friends who are working with the kids and people in the village. They have really got the people’s trust and a great opportunity to share their lives and faith in Jesus. Something like that cannot be done over one night, but through faithful work and perseverance. If you want to know more I have put more about India in earlier posts on this blog (from August)!

Do you want to pray with me?
Please pray for the school that I will lead from March. I need good staff and eager students!
Thanks for reading!
God bless you!
Love, Jenny
