SWEDEN

More than 100 years ago, my grandfather sailed from Sweden to NYC and then to South Dakota. This week, I made the return "voyage" to the father-land. Many of the buildings of Stockholm would have been there when he left. It was a tremendous privilege to be back in the land of my ancestors. This is a fabulous city that embraces the water that fingers its way through the archipelago right into the heart of Stockholm.

Joan and I were here to visit missionaries who are beginning a work in this country. Three couples are committed to working here and we hope many more will follow. While most would consider themselves Lutheran by name, only a handful would darken church doors except for confirmation, their wedding and a funeral. We hope to change that.

Please pray with us for many more workers for Scandinavia.
