A blessed time in Vietnam!

We had a wonderful end to 2023, as we were finally able to organize the World of Life Asian Summit for the first time! This was important for us, as our pastors and leaders in Asia had not been able to attend our previous Summits and conferences.

Pastors and leaders from 13 different countries gathered in beautiful Vietnam to seek God together, be encouraged by each other’s testimonies and get to know the church in Vietnam better. Started a little less than 20 years ago, the church today has 250 churches across the country and a thriving mission work in neighboring countries – which was so wonderful to see!

It was a special and wonderful moment for all of us. A pastor from Buthan told me how important this was for him, just to get away from his own country and socialize with other leaders. The combination of great fellowship, good teaching and strong presence of God was so important to him and the other leaders. We are extremely excited for the future and what God has for us this year!

We believe that God is doing something new in Asia. We have around 350 churches in our network in Asia and we feel that a new wave of expansion is coming. We believe God for 1000 churches in Asia, not because of the numbers themselves but because there is such a hunger for God and it is our calling to harvest the fields for God.

Let us believe together that the work the Lord began in 2023 will continue strongly this year too!

LOBC-Team: Healing and restoration in Bolivia

It was Wednesday morning when we arrived, exhausted after a dramatic 36-hour journey and running on barely two hours of sleep. A kind man from a local church picked us up and welcomed us into his home. As we sat together making small talk, he began to sing a Swedish worship song, sharing from his time as a missionary there. In that moment, the weight of the journey caught up with us, and we began to cry. Questions filled our minds: what was going to happen on this trip, could God really use us like this, and did we even have the strength to be there? He gently encouraged us to rest, and after a short nap we were picked up by the pastor and reunited with the rest of the team. After breakfast and several hours of sleep, we felt more alive—still tired, but ready. We were reminded that in our weakness, God is our strength.

It is time for Laos!

So wonderful to be back in Laos. I was here the first time 25 years ago, and ever since that visit, something in my heart has remained connected to this beautiful nation. I have always wanted to come back—and now, finally, I am here again. Walking these streets, meeting the people, and sensing God’s presence so strongly reminds me that His timing is always perfect.
