Dear Friends of Eastern Europe Renewal: 

HAPPY THANKSGIVING! Especially to those of you who are Americans.

I am safely back from Sweden in good condition and thankful for your prayers and support. It was a worthwhile trip. First there was a meeting in a Christian Restaurant for about 30 people, sponsored by the Credo Christian Campus Group. Some non-Christians came, even a Buddhist. We had a good discussion together about truth and reality.

Then, the next day, I went to Stockholm for the Synergy Arts Conference in the New Life Church. They let me give 3 plenary teachings to about 175 people; 2 lectures and a sermon. There were also 2 seminars on Saturday afternoon for smaller groups of 20 and 30. We talked about the freedom and responsibility of people with special gifts of seeing and hearing and other sensitivities in the Body of the Church. We also worked on ways and principles for Christians to approach and receive the arts with love. Many people seemed to be encouraged by the time.

Back on Sunday in Umea in the Frozen North, the Credo group had a lecture/discussion meeting in a Church. Monday was a Sabbath for me. On Tuesday was a lecture in the University called "Are All Absolutes Absurd?" About 30 people came. The first question in the discussion time was from a non-Christian. He wanted to know how to get saved (!) It was lovely. It was a joy to meet some very fine Christian young people who want to live for and serve the Lord and His Kingdom. I hope we can stay in touch and encourage each other.

Thank you again for your prayers and support. The Lord and you keep me going. God bless and keep you and make you thankful.

Yours in Christ,

Ellis
