Is it possible?!

I missed my plane this morning due to two alarms that were not able to wake up Hans and I....... Now, I have had to order a last minute ticket for tonight at ten o'clock which luckily only cost me 418kr/$67.. which was a blessing in the midst of an extremely annoying situation... Aside from all that, I am doing well today... a little bit tired due to lack of sleep... we were at the festival in Stavanger till almost 4 this morning.. very fun.... so yeah... Hans is at work trying to stay awake.. I am at Hans' place just cleaning up a bit... when he gets back we are hopefully going to get some pizza... we'll see... I am praying... =) But yeah... that is me for the time being... Hope you all are well! Me snakkast!

I got to bed late, and now am just waiting for the morning gathering for the group leaders... jippi! haha... I think it should be a fun (tiring) week... i will keep you posted... Until then

This is my summer work week at the base, so I am in the office checking DTS Skien and DTS international e-mail, mailing mail that has to go out... listening to wonderful music... chatting with Birgitte while she is at work... it's ok.. not the worst thing I could be doing... The weather is nice.. Should be an ok week... Next week, I will be going some hours north to Hamar where I will be working at a family camp. I will be doing sound for some meetings and also leading a small group. That's basically it for me right now.. Hope you are all doing just super duper! Blessings!

Well, for the next two weeks I will be house-sitting for a friend of mine in Tønsberg. The family is going to California to visit family. I have a house to myself for two weeks! =) Party! haha.. no.. I will be good... of course... it is me we are talking about after all... NO COMMENTS!! =) For those of you who may be wondering, I will be sending out a newsletter here in the near future.. I just have to finish writing it, and get them all sent... so, just keep tight, and hold in there. It is coming. Blessings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ! Love you guys!

Last day of work...

Well, today ended the last day of work for me here at the base until August.. Now, I have the summer to relax and do the things that need to be done in the summer. For those of you who maybe do not know, I am not going to the States for the summer. I will be residing in Norway straight through. I will spend my time raising support and just relaxing... It has been a busy and fruitful year, so now it is high time for a little break. I will have a work week here at the base the first week of July, but aside from that I will not be working again until August. very nice... So, I hope all is well with you... Have a great summer!!
In Christ, Jordan

ok... Done with REBOOT for a while...

Back from Denmark.... It was awesome. God is so good. This trip went really well. We saw people touched by God, and our team had a healthy time together for one last tour together. The DTS is finishing this week, and after that I will be on the base doing some practical clean up and some staff meetings and such. After all that is done, I will be off for the summer. I will be staying in Norway, as it is too expensive to fly back in the Summer, and will be spending time raising support and putting together a good support system for my ministry. I hope you all are doing well! Be blessed!

Denmark...

Well, I have arrived safe and sound back in Norway, but don't let that make you think I am done working and able to relax... =) I am now actually leaving for Denmark for one week. I will be doing REBOOT again. We are sending REBOOT to Denmark to see people saved! I will be doing sound, as usual. I am looking forward to what God will do down there. As may seem natural, I am rather tired physically from being on outreach in Thailand for two months, but I am going despit that. =) I will be there until Sunday and then will be back in Norway for the last days of this DTS. Your prayers and support are greatly desired. Thanks for all you have already done! Be blessed!

We will also be balancing debreifing and evaluation alongside our relaxing.We will be going back to Bangkok on the 19th and will sleep one night in YWAM Bangkok before we fly out on the 20th back to Norway. It will be lovely to arrive back home in Norway, but will be literally right off for Denmark the day after my return.... crazy... we will be going with Reboot to Denmark for a week.. Your prayers and support are greatly coveted! Thanks again! Be blessed!

Hello again from Pattaya!

I have now been here a little over two weeks. It has been really good, and we have seen many saved! We have had a bit of prison ministry, and practical work, and a lot of work with the prostitutes in this area. We have personally led several to Jesus, and just the other day one of the prostitutes gave her life to Christ in full surrender. Truly awesome! God is so good! Please continue to pray for us as we are finishing up this week, and then will be off to an island in the southern part of the Thailand gulf. After that, we will be off back to Norway. Thanks for all your prayers and support! Be blessed!

Also, if you feel like supporting ministry ministry financially, you can look to the right of this page and find contact information. Thanks! God bless!

Pattaya....

Well, we have now been in Pattaya for some days working with various things... The girls having been working a lot with the prostitutes and the guys have been working a lot with practical duties... i.e. painting the team houses exterior... really cool actually... some prison ministry where we hand out food and pray for the prisoners... prayer walks through the main part of the city... hanging out with youth in a local youth center focused on skaters.... going very well here... lots to do, and not a lot of time to cool down... it is so hot and humid here... my goodness... Sweat is involved with everything here.. even cooling down makes you sweat.... Pray for us!

I have been translating everything into English on our outreach blog, so just go to the link above and you can read about how we ar doing. Personally, I am doing quite well. God is good, and I am enjoying myself. Please feel free to read the outreach page for more info. Be blessed!!

That Jordan is so hot right now... Jordan..

yeah, it is warm... I am always sweating... it is crazy, but I like it... These days in Mae Sot have been really nice and enjoyable. The food here is amazing! I love it! On Monday, we are off to the jungle for two straight weeks, so the living conditions will be quite primative.... we will be working with the Karen people right near the Burmese border. I am really looking forward to it. It should prove to be a little challenging though.... we will be living on their staple food.. rice.... I might lose some weight... but that is ok.. I just weighed in at 88.6 kg today!! I hope that scale was wrong.. I am not fat, but that is heavy! haha... but yeah, we have awesome ministry opportunities here in Thailand, and I am looking forward to each of them. They may prove to be new and chellenging experiences, but I am ready to go for it... plus, I am the leader, so I kind of have to... =) Be blessed everyone!
-Jordan

I arrived!

Well, we have now arrived in Mae Sot,Thailand! Finally! It is so cool to be here! It is a beautiful country, and it is warm as well... that is a good thing.. I just wanted to let you guys know that I arrived.. I will be off to the jungle for two weeks on Monday, so I will try to post again after that. Until then, keep us in your prayers!! We will be working with buddhists and such in the jungle villages. Burmese refugees... God bless!

I have been very blessed and encouraged, and am now preparing frantically preparing for my two months in Thailand.. I leave on the 22nd of this month.. very soon... I know... I covet your prayers and support!!!!! Please, if you ever feel like you have a word for me or an encouragement or anything, please please please e-mail me!! jordan.ernst@gmail.com I will be going on a team week with my team this next Tuesday and then it is only one week to go when I get back... I have many things to do and lots of money to raise, so if you can help me by giving money and/or praying for me, that would be incredible! I need to raise about 3,000 dollars for this trip. Thank you all for caring! You have played a huge role in my ministry here. Blessings on you all! Until next time!

From Pennsylvania to North Carolina and soon back again...

Well, sorry that I haven't posted until now... been a bit crazy with all the traveling. So far, we have had 3 shows in Pennsylvania that were quite successful. Many youth responded to the gospel and were inspired. Now, we are in North Carolina where we have only seen the same awesome results. Not only have there been youth saved, but youth have been inspired in their Christian lives and also inspired to do something more with their lives. It is truly God working through us here. Tomorrow, we will be leaving back to Pennsylvania for the remainder of our trip. On the 27th of this month, I will be on a plane to Oregon for one week. I hope you all are doing well. No matter how crappy things seem, God is still there.. That is something that I am realizing in my life right now. When I get down and really bummed, I have to come back to the truth that God has not left me and He is still just as much there for me as when I was feeling good. Be blessed!

Lufthansa...

Well, at the very moment I am on my way to JFK. I am sitting in the butt of the plane, and surfing the internet on my laptop. Yes, that is right. I am on the plane. Lufthansa now has wireless. It has a base fee, but it isn't too bad... It is very nice being able to still be connected while mid-flight. It helps with the boredom... =) I am really looking forward to see what God is going to do these next 3 weeks on Tour in the States. I am also looking forward to the week following, where I will be stopping home for a week. That should be nice. I am really enjoying what I do, even though it can be extremely hard and chellenging sometimes, it is sooooo worth it. God is good, and it is so good to know that I am doing what he has asked me to do. That is the best feeling. Being in God's plan is absolutely incredible. Now the screen is telling me we are flying right over Cork, Ireland... and we are at 10,972 meters... that is basically telling me that we have quite a few hours to go.... boring.... I love flying, but I hate it at the same time... I get soooo bored... and I can't sleep on planes... I am fairly tall, so space is a bit of an issue... but for some reason, I continue to do it... =) The ironies in life.... =) Random thought... Has anyone else ever wondered why there are ash trays on planes when smoking is always prohibited?? I mean, even on the new planes... they still put in ash trays, but they don't allow smoking... is there such thing as smoking flights? if there are, i have never heard of them... ok, I need to make one small correction... i discovered just now that there isn't actually an ash tray on this sit I am in... but there was on the last one I was on from Oslo to Frankfurt! Seems like a waste of material and logic to me... oh well... not my problem... just one of those things I guess... it will be so nice to be in the States for a short while because it is sooooooooooo much cheaper than Norway... I can't get over how expensive things are in Norway.... I lived there for a few years now, and still it amazes me... I mean, I just bought a bottle of water and a time magazine and calculated out that it was almost 10 US dollars!! That is insane! Oi..... I don't know how much a time magazine is in the States, but i am sure it is nothing like that... Well... the food is coming down the aisle now, so I am going to finish this up.. I am quite hungry. God Bless!

Back from Estonia and Sweden! And still alive!

Well, I arrived back home this morning at 3.... That was a long two weeks of traveling and doing the show... But well worth it. Not only did we see people saved and take steps they have never done before, I also had huge breakthrougs! I feel like a new person! It is soooo cool how god works, and at the most opportune times! He is so good. I am still in a process, but it is going to prove to be the best. I am now getting all my things together to leave for the States in two days. I leave from here on Tuesday afternoon and fly out at 6:40 Wednesday morning. I will be in the Eastern United States for 3 weeks doing the same show I have been working on for the past wo weeks, then I will be off to Oregon for a friend's wedding. I will be in Oregon for only a week and then fly back to Norway only two weeks before I go to Thailand for two months... wow... I have exactly no time of recovering from any of these trips... haha... God is my strength... So yes, that is me for now.. I will write more later. Take care!

I have had to do a lot of snow shoveling though...Anyway, just thought I would let you know.... oh, and when I go to Estonia it will be around -2 farenheit... crazy cold.....
