Evangelist Asbjørn Skjortnes visited the Rock of Salvation Church in Krasilov, Ukraine from the 9th to the 12th of October 2010.

Several received Jesus as their Savior.

Pastor Yuri Fasichnik and evangelist Asbjørn Skjortnes greet all those who have come forward and prayed the prayer of salvation in one of the meetings.

It was Pastor Yuri Fasichnik who had invited Asbjorn to come and hold meetings in the evangelical church. The focus of the preaching was on the gospel of God’s grace. The response to the preaching was very positive. In each meeting, people raised their hands as an indication that they would accept Jesus Christ as their Savior. During these four days, about 60 people made ​​known that they would say yes to Jesus. (see photo above).

Many sick were healed.

In each meeting, people testified about lots of healings from back, neck, and leg pain. A young boy testified that all the pain in his back had disappeared (see picture above).

Two women said that they had received their hearing back after prayer. An elderly woman had trouble walking because one leg was shorter than the other and this also resulted in great pain. She was very surprised when she discovered that after prayer her legs were of equal length, all pain was gone and she could walk normally without a cane.
Another woman testified that she had had tinnitus for many years and that it disappeared during the preaching of the Word.
A man testified excited after prayer that all back pain was gone after many years of pain (see picture).

God’s grace and mercy for salvation and healing was evident in these meetings and the church was strengthened in the faith. All glory to Jesus!

Asbjørn Skjortnes preaches boldly the gospel in St. Barbara Church.

Evangelist Asbjørn Skjortnes visited St. Barbara Catholic Church in Aachen from the 22th to the 25th of April 2010. The campaign should have started a few days earlier, but because of the ash cloud from Iceland, the flight had been postponed.

The focus of the preaching to the church was that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today, yes forever. What Jesus did in biblical days he still is doing today.

The meetings had been published well in advance and the expectations were great. (See poster above).

Many were saved and healed.

Asbjørn Skjortnes prayed for many sick people in St, Barbara Church in Aachen.

The response was fantastic. In each meeting, several people were saved and many testified of strong healings. We will especially mention two women who had to be helped forward for prayer. Both of them were suffering from severe pain due to arthritis. After prayer they testified that all pain was gone and the joints were soft and movable.
A man testified that his crooked fingers straightened out and all pain disappeared after prayer. The man had suffered for many years from pain in his muscles and joints. Now he was completely healed.
Many also testified that their back- and neck pain disappeared after that a too short leg grew out by prayer. Others testified that they were first cured and then received Jesus Christ as their personal Savior.

God confirmed His Word and revealed his glory during this campaign. We continue to ask for a large harvest in Europe.

Leonid Filimonov is the pastor of the Living Word Church in Yourmala in Latvia. He has his heart in reaching new people with the gospel and has been opening doors for the gospel of grace, both in Latvia, Lithuania and Ukraine.

It was with great anticipation we went to visit these churches. The first church we visited was a Pentecostal church in Vilnius, Lithuania. Then we visited churches in the towns Slavuta and Peremishel in Ukraine.

The focus of these meetings has been to proclaim Jesus’ finished work on the cross and the Lord confirmed His Word of grace with signs following.

Many people were saved and testified of healings.

At all the places we visited there were a great hunger and anticipation to the Lord. It was wonderful to feel the joy and enthusiasm for the Gospel. In total, about 30 people were saved and added to the churches.

Many testified of healing from the pains in the back, neck, hips and legs. Several visually impaired also testified that they saw clearly after prayer.

I would also mention a man in the church in Slavuta, who was paralyzed on one side and the mobility impaired, he testified to complete healing by prayer. We rejoice in God’s infinite mercy and goodness because of what He has done to the people!
