so making changes in the spiritual and religious life is difficult. However, Helge Pahaus, the local Lutheran Pastor, came to America in the Seventies and sent back tapes of leaders of the Jesus Revival to his flock.Many thought he was having a break down not a break through. But they received his teaching and opened themselves to God for love and power. Now thousands of men and women around Denmark and Europe have been touched by this dynamic church that has been the center for Teleios Denmark, Alpha and OASE.
The lady in front is Regina Jorgensen, who might be considered the "Mother" of Danish Holy Spirit Renewal/Revival". Her daughter Kirsten Callesen is next to her in the photo. She is a Psychologist and an expert in treating Autism. Son Peter Dyhr, not shown, is a Lutheran Pastor and expert in church planting.
The bearded man is Peder Poulsen, a Danish Pastor and now heads a Family Counseling Center. Peder is very instrumental in the renewal movement in Scandinavia. We met while falling down a hill attempting to ski. Both Peder and Kirsten have developed unique ministries as a result of the Teleios Training they received from Sweeten Life in the Eighties.
(Teleios is the name I gave to the ministry at College Hill Church and later at EMI of presenting all Christians whole in Christ. These folks are actively using and teaching these same skills in a variety of ways.)
On the far right is Jens-Petter Jorgensen, my friend since 1983 and the founder/head of OASE, the Norwegian Renewal Group for twenty years. Jens-Petter is a member of the Sweeten Life Board. He teaches at Ansgar, an influential seminary in Norway, while mentoring, coaching and training pastors. He has also developed a new approach to implementing the Teleios Courses for leaders.
The work God ordained so many years ago at College Hill is growing and gaining strength all over the world. (See the posts about Russia.) His plans are always "Yes, and Amen!"
