This fall I am going to a bible school at Weimar Campus, California. The school is called: AFCOE (Amazing Facts Center of Evangelism) - trains people in bible - Teaching about main themes of the bible, and how to share our knowledge efficiently. We dig deep into the bible, for instance we learn about prophecies, the sanctuary, doctrines, the mission of the church. We are also trained in bible work and how to preach. I have also choosen a health track, which will learn me about some principles in health evangelism, and how to have health seminars, etc.
We are around 51 students in our class. I experienced the spiritual atmosphere right away, when I arrived 5th of august. The first days we had biblestudies at the dorm, good talks, prayers together. These things have just continued since.
The first week have been an introduction week, with classes. We have also had a week of prayer, about the theme: Revival.
I live at Hillside dorm, with great friends and fellowship. My room mate is from So-Cal, originally from Philippines.
The nature here is awesome! There are mountain lions in the area, which I haven't seen yet. I hope to see one :) There are also several deers and squirrels that are running through campus.
The temperature so far have been up to 35 C. It is very dry in the area, but there are many trails here to hike and you find green plants as well. The other day when we were hiking, it felt like we hiked in a jungle for a while.
We have tons of blackberries around here! I have also seen grapes and apricots :) There are channels through the are which is almost perfect for air bed race :D
It is nice to also have a Swede on campus: Rebecca Sahlin. We are teaching some of the students swedish, and they are doing pretty good.
Some of our teachers are:
Don Mackintosh, Wes Peppers, Eric Flickenger, Doug Bachelor, Tammey Steenson.
The classes so far are awesome!! It will be pretty busy here with everything we are doing, such as classes, homework and outreach. We can sense that the devil is attacking us in many different ways. But God is stronger!
Please pray for me.
I miss you scandinavians!
