The Apostolic Faith in Kolding, Denmark, held three days of special meetings from November 7-9 with the theme of “Come and See.” Just as Nathanael was asked by Philip to “Come and see” Jesus, hungry souls from across Scandinavia were invited to come and experience the Gospel.  

The three-day campaign began with an evangelistic service on Friday evening. The choir set the tone by singing “Down on My Knees” and later, “The Sinner and the Song.” The opening prayer was led by Titilayo Akano, and then soul-lifting testimonies proclaimed God’s faithfulness. Among these, Olanrewaju Fanilola praised God for miraculously orchestrating his relocation from Nigeria to Denmark.

For the message, Robert Makasi encouraged all, “Believe as Scripture Says, and You Will See Jesus.” With his opening text from John 1:43-46, he stressed the need to yield to the call of Jesus and be saved. Following a closing prayer, many went to their knees to seek God.

On Saturday, an evening of music commenced with prayer and a warm welcome from Solomon Akano, the group leader. Then the program went on to feature such songs as “Glory Special,” sung by the choir, “The Lord Is My Salvation,” by the youth choir, and “Down from His Glory,” sung by Sister Shamba of Birmingham, England. Instrumental numbers included a trombone solo by Frode Brundtland of Stavanger, Norway.

During the intermission, a challenge about the “Power of One” was put to the congregation. Each person was asked to take one piece of Gospel literature, read it, and pass it to someone else to read. As the concert continued, hearts were stirred by songs presented by four children: Joanna and Ifepade Akano, and Blessing and Moyinoluwa Oloruntobi.

The evening also included a sermonette on “The Old Paths” given by the Stavanger pastor, Seun Ogunleye. Taking his text from Jeremiah 6:16, he encouraged all to stay on the Gospel path where peace and the solutions to all life’s problems lay. The concert closed with the choir song “The King Is Coming” and prayer offered by Adeyinka Akano.

On Sunday, a lesson on “Brotherly Kindness” was studied for Sunday school. It emphasized that salvation makes it possible for Christians to unconditionally love and care for others. The lesson was well received by visitors and became a highlight of the weekend.

The devotional service followed with the choir singing “Sold Out.” Before the message, Dupe Ikwor of Stavanger sang “It’s No Secret.” Then Brother Seun spoke about a “Blessed Invitation,” taking his text from John 1:43-49. He noted that Jesus’ invitation to salvation not only includes eternal life, but many blessings on earth as well. He urged all to accept this great offer. At the conclusion, the choir sang “Give Me the Old-Time Religion,” and everyone was encouraged to pray until satisfied.

People were invited to “Come and See,” and many did—the total attendance for the special meetings was 236, including some who joined online. Gospel seeds were spread, and now the saints are looking to God to bring the harvest in Denmark and throughout all Scandinavia.
