Saturday night friends in Stockholm

I just recently returned from a trip back to Europe. For three weeks I traveled to Germany, Latvia, Iceland and Sweden. After having been in America for the last two months it was good to be back. It gave me an opportunity to see some good friends and to say some goodbyes for awhile. I will be stationed in America for the next two years and making some trips back and forth to Europe but not having my permanent residence there.

The last Saturday night I was in Sweden. I went out to do the Saturday evening ministry we do in the community of Vårberg between the two Pubs and beside the subway entrance. I usually set up a table there around 12 o’clock at night and serve free coffee and tea to the people using the Subway and visiting the two Pubs. We do this as a community service. Often our community of Vårberg has had bad press concerning the problems there with drunks etc… We started serving coffee there about a year and a half ago and have continued on Saturday nights. I really enjoy meeting people and getting to know the people of our community. I think we have had a calming effect on the area. That was our goal to begin with.

Here are two pictures of some friends that I met out there on my last Saturday night in Sweden for awhile.
