We traveled to Turku which is on the western coast of Finland to minister on February 3, 2008. We were greeted by very sweet people who were hungry for the things of the Lord. We were served a Finnish meal before the service began.

The Lord was waiting on us. The presence of God could be felt from the moment praise and worship began. Their praise and worship team was hungry for the presence of God and several of them were the first to be touched. Even though we could not understand the words, the presence of God is universal.

Revivalist Wes Geiger didn't have much opportunity to preach as the presence of God was so strong and the people were hungry to be touched. The Lord wanted to touch His people last night and that He did.

The hearts of the people were open and they had been prepared to receive what God had for them. The presence and power of God was so strong and people were touched. Many were laughing, crying and surrendering to God as they fell out in His presence. We had several give their hearts to the Lord. One lady who was one of the translators went up to Revivalist Wes after the altar call was given and told him she wanted to be sure about her salvation. She knew the Lord in her head, but not in her heart. She said that when she was prayed for earlier something changed and she felt something different. She gave her heart to the Lord and it was awesome!

It was an awesome presence of God for our first time of ministry in Finland. It was definitely confirmation that we were supposed to be here. God has opened the door to return to the church in Turku anytime. Pastor Reino and Pastor Rebecca received us with open arms and welcome us anytime.
