Early morning and a lost Superbowl...
Since I started to travel to America my love for Football has been growing for every year.
I started to watch the Superbowls live at Swedish TV 2009, and that was a good start when "my" team, Steelers, won!
In Sweden, due to the time difference, the game is always in the middle of the night, so this year, in Pakistan, it got a little bit better:)
Me and Peter Almqvist wnt to bed 11.30pm, and got up this morning at 4.30am; just in time for the game! Roomservice with a big sandwich, an unstable internet connection, but the atmosphere was nothing less then any living room in Pittsburgh:)
Great, great game! Exciting til the last minute! Unfortunately we lost the game the same minute. Still I'm proud over Steelers - they came back from 3-21 and they never game up!
Let's show them next year Steelers!!
Now: A visit at the gym and some running, and then Pastors Conference with 250 signed up Pastors! Will be great!

Marathon thoughts...
I've been out traveling 20 of the 34 days of 2011 so far; and have another week left in Pakistan. This has destroyed my Marathon training!
My goal was to run under 4h in Stockholm Marathon May 28th, but I realize I won't be in that shape in four months... I simply have to set a new goal: Improve my 4h 41min from last year. That will be a challenge in and of itself!
At a hotel in Faislabad right now, reading Runner's World. Inspiring. This year 20 517 runners will participate in Sthlm Marathon – that's a new record with approx 400 runners! Last year I finished as number 8 900-something. Hopefully I can do better this year!
Things that speak against my goal:
- My third child will be born in the beginning of May – that will of course take a lot of attention and time!
- My late start of the season due to all my time preaching abroad. Last year I was in much better shape at this point.
- A long winter in Sweden...?!
- Busy spring in general!
Things that speak for my goal
- Discipline! I'v e got a lot!:)
- Experience – I wont be as nervous as last year.
- Excitement – Running makes me happy!
BTW: On site in Faislabad and the heart of God is beating in my chest! Students: Prepare for a massive impact from Heaven over this city when you arrive!

Pakistan!
Three days ago I finally landed in Pakistan. This is my first visit here, but not my last: I'm already fallen in love with this nation and this people!
Me and Peter Almqvist are here to prepare our festivals by finding Festival Sites, meeting pastors and key persons, praying, and dealing with places for the team to stay, what to eat, and so on... It's so exciting!
So far we've been in Sialkot, a "small" city with "only" one million people....(this is how our Pakistanian friends are discribing this city!) They are amazed when I tell them that the TOTAL population of Sweden is nine million...:)
I have been preaching with fire and with tears in churches and gatherings! There's an explosive anointing resting over you when you enter this nation in the name of Jesus! Be prepared when you apply to follow us this year!
God has also lead me and Peter in contact with powerful people in this region. Muslims in high, high positions that are so open for and searched by God! We have spend many LATE nights together with them, eating, laughing and speaking about God!
Tomorrow we will continue to Faislabad: A much bigger city where we will have our mission practice with our Schools in May. I'm so curious about that city and what God has prepared for us there!
When me and Peter are out just walking the streets we can feel heaven smiling down over us. The favor of God is here for great things, and the Holy Spirit is leading us in the right direction in every way! This is a wide open nation with people that are stumbling around in darkness - but the light of Jesus will prepare the way and set the captives free!
I am so excited!!!
Don't forget that you are God's Adventurer and that you can follow Mission SOS here this year on a mighty adventurer with the Holy Spirit!
