A Newsletter from Jessica Ramsay in Norway!
Where did Octobergo?RISK: TakingEurope for God.
Team Fredrikstad!The vision of RISK is sending teams from
Norway
to every country in Europe to pray and evangelize
at the same time. First the whole DTS travelled to a
YWAM base in Skien, Norway, about 12 hours
drive from Aalesund, for training in evangelism.
There were teams from all the bases in southern
Norway there and we learned a lot from the
teachers. Then we split into our teams, the music track
leader, Ken Robin and I led a team to Fredrikstad, a
city in the very south of Norway about 45 minutes
from Sweden. We stayed in Ken Robins home church,
called 3:16 or Rd Mlle. We did a lot of prayer,
some evangelism, we visited key spots in the area
to pray over them and we led the Sunday service
at the church. It was a really great time there; the
church was awesome and very hospitable. We all
felt so blessed being there!

The Busiest Weekend
EverThe second weekend in October was crazy busy for
me. As hospitality staff it is my job to make sure all
guest teachers and visitors have a place to stay and
food to eat. That weekend was had 6 teachers, 1
mission builder, and 5 guests arriving and staying for
the week. In my house we had 5 extra people, one
sleeping in my room! That means 11 people were
sharing one bathroom! It was very busy making sure
every one had everything that they needed.
That led into a creative week, where the DTS splits
into their tracks and each have teaching in art. For meit means
a lot of time in the kitchen! I made hot
lunches every day for the teachers. Lots of fun, but lots
of work too!
On Thursday that week we had Supper in Homes.
Which is when the staff and families host students at
their houses for supper. We had 4 students and 2
teachers over, I made apple pie and chocolate cake and
we also had Norwegian pancakes, which are a lot like
crepes. It was a nice cozy time to get to know the
students better.
Teaching with Sue Rinaldi
The 24th to the 27th we had Sue
Rinaldi from England teachingon communicating Gods
heart to the world through thearts. The teaching was verygood,
and the students seemed
to really enjoy it and learn a
lot.This week I attended teaching,met with my one on ones,
lead
small group, lead intercessiongroup, on Wednesday the staffhad
teaching with Sue on how
to stay inspired in our busyschedules, I cooked lunches,and made
dinner for the DTS
on Friday.
And then I turned 21!Friday the 28th was my 21st birthday! I
went tothe YWAM founded caf, Lyspunktet, forcake and coffee. I knew
the baristas and they
gave me my cake and coffee for free with abirthday candle on my
cake that I blew threetimes, the first by laughing on it
accidentally.
On Saturday I baked a bunch of snacks andhad the staff over to
hang out and it was verynice and now I am 21!

Overall things are going well hereIt has continued to be busy
but we are really enjoying life here in Aalesund. It hasnt snowed
yet
and I am starting to wonder if winter will ever completely
arrive, bringing Christmas with it of
course. The students are so much fun, a really good group of
people who are really enthusiastic
and willing to be taught. I am learning so much as a leader, I
feel like Ive done more growing
and learned more this year as a staff than I did on my DTS! I
enjoy being able to be there for the
students, I have grown quite close to my one on ones, Ida, Miia
and Sarah, and I love that I can
take time to pray for them and with them, making sure they are
doing well and helping them to
process the teaching. Please continue praying for me as the year
goes on and as I try to balance
my schedule and my duties as DTS staff, Hospitality staff and as
an artist.
Tusen takk og Gud velsigne dere! (Thank you and God bless
you!)
