“Nystroms On A Mission”,

Learning from Tom Bauer the founder of Surfing the Nations our family motto is: “to hear God, obey God and let him deal with the consequences”

Vision statement:

“Multiplying communities of disciples” Matthew 4:18-19 As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon called Peter and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen. “Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will send you out to fish for people.” 2 Timothy 2:2 And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable people who will also be qualified to teach others.

Using the tool called Discovery Bible Study (DBS) we started planting simple churches among refugees in Greece back in 2018. It has now become a growing Pan-European network of churches/ bible study groups as the refugees have moved on to other parts of Europe. In this new season for our ministry we are now responsible to train and support the groups in the northern parts of Eu- rope as we have partners continuing the work in Greece out of Thessaloniki and Athens.

PRAYER REQUESTS:

• Find good Farsi/Arabic/Kurdish translators/coworkers to form a team in Sweden that can travel with us in Europe.

• Continued growth and development in the existing groups.

• Pray especially for the groups that have started to form inside of Iran as they are risking severe persecution.

• Some of our translators in Greece have not yet been granted asylum, they are key people for the continued development of our work. Pray for favor with the Greek authorities.

Matt currently serves as the state director for Child Evangelism Fellowship of Hawaii. Stacey and Matt made Hawaii their home in 2012 and have enjoyed seeing God begin to reestablish CEF as the most effective children's ministry outreach in Hawaii. When they arrived, God gave them a clear vision for the ministry and work of CEF here in the islands. That vision was and is that every child on every island can hear the Gospel by the age of twelve. Their mission is to inspire, train and equip students and adults to effectively share the Gospel with the children of Hawaii. Together, Matt & Stacey look forward to the day when every island has a vibrant and healthy CEF presence. Until then, they are looking forward to many more years of serving along-side churches and individuals with the same passion for reaching children with the Gospel.

Ireland

Pastor Jamie Corcoran, Ireland * Myself and my wife Ludmila found our selves praying asking God for a next step in our lives. We wanted to make a difference in our world and to be part of God’s great rescue plan for Ireland, to serve the people of Ireland by inspiring them to pursue an authentic relationship with Jesus, to experience the God that many of us spent our whole lives growing up hearing about but never actually knowing. Bottom line - we wanted to give our lives to help people discover and live out their Extraordinary Purpose in Christ. That was 2008 and we did not expect God to respond to that prayer in the form of leading us to pioneer Lighthouse Church. But since then to now - our desire, our prayer and our mission is still the same. We believe that God loves Ireland and that He has a plan and a purpose for everyone of us; that we have been Made for More. Today, Lighthouse is making a difference in hundreds of lives and many communities, online and on the ground by church planting and partnering with local organizations. * Prayer Request: For the nation of Ireland post Covid, politically and spiritually. For Lighthouse Church as we expand and grow, that we can continue to equip and help people in discovering their extraordinary purpose in Christ. Wisdom and guidance in our Church planting strategy for the next 2 years. Financial recovery from the pandemic. Protection of health for all staff and team members. Lighthouse Community Church PO Box 221, An Post, Ireland. **
