In a busy June in Oslo, God opened a door for us to reach the crowds in our own city.
From 17 to 20 June, every evening from 7 to 9 pm, we set up a big stage with sound, lights and an LED screen outside Deichman Bjørvika, between the Opera House and Oslo Central Station. There was dance, worship and gospel preaching in the heart of the city.
The week in numbers
- 2,936 people heard the gospel
- 101 responded to the call for salvation
- 64 asked to be followed up by Jesus Church, the home church of Jesus Revolution
- 28 were instantly healed, right there on the streets of Oslo
- 5,568 more were reached with evangelistic videos on social media
Standing together
One of the greatest joys was standing shoulder to shoulder with Jørn Strand of Evangeliet for Alle and Jesus Church outside the Opera House. Evening after evening the gospel was preached boldly in the heart of Oslo, by organisations and a church with one shared heart: that people would hear about Jesus.
At the same time, around 90 young people from different countries joined us for Summer Mission Oslo. They were trained for two and a half days, then sent into the streets with one message: Jesus loves Oslo.
Stories from the streets
“Two girls around 15 were standing there drinking from a big bottle of alcohol. One of them had hurt her finger punching another girl, and she asked if I could fix it. I prayed once, and she was completely healed.”

“On my way to the bathroom I felt drawn to a young woman and asked how she was. She started crying right away. She had grown up in a Christian home but drifted away and never had a real relationship with Jesus. We shared our stories and cried together. It was storming outside, and she wanted to give her life to Jesus. As we prayed it was dark and raining, but the moment she finished praying, the sun shone straight on her. She felt the overwhelming love of God. Peace came over her, and her anxiety left.”

Thank you for praying and believing with us. The best is yet to come.
