Liljeholmen

In the evening on Saturday, we met at the home of Jim and Lynn Jarman in Liljeholmen, for dinner and a time of discussion and prayer.  Jim and Lynn are involved in three organizations: Converge (as Directors for Sweden); Reach Global (as coaches for church leaders and Church planters); and New Life Network (where they are part of the lead team and they also coach the pastors and leadership teams at the site churches in Sweden (in Stockholm, Västerås, and Gothenburg)).   Specific prayer items for Jim and Lynn include: they are coaching about 10 pastors and leaders regularly (pray that this work would be fruitful in nurturing these church leaders); the New Life Church group is having a large women’s retreat in the summer (please pray that this would be a time for spiritual growth and community-building for the attendees); in October, Jim and Lynn are leading church planting seminars in the Baltic countries (pray that these sessions would help equip many new church leaders); several of the New Life church sites are looking to plant new churches (pray that they would have wisdom on the timing and location of new churches that are started; the New Life Network has planted about one new church per year over the last few years); a prayer of praise for their new apartment, which they will move to next month (they needed to leave their current apartment and were able to locate one in the same neighborhood, which was a miraculous story).
