"Here will follow a little story how I was introduced to the Oneness of God (for the) first time."
 
"I am 30 years and have been a believer since 1993. But after some months and been baptised in the Assemblies of God I went back to the worldly pleasures... I had a lot of wounds in my heart since I was a child. I never grow up with my parents. When I was 3 years old the social workers came to pick up me and my 2 year old sister Nadja. We were placed in the same family in a other town and my parents were not allowed to visit or even know where we were, because they were both alcoholics. My father is Gipzy by blood from Finland, and my mother is Finnish."
 
"When Me and my sister was living in this  foster-family, (the family was very famous and well known in the rich societys). I was feeling very bad, they hated Me because of my roots. I have brown eyes and the mother was scared that people and neighbours would know that I was having gipzy-blood in my veins."

"I started to hate them already as a young child. I was hiding myself in anger and I was always acting bad. I can tell you I was not staying there for very long...the socialworkers tried to do all in their might. But I was not staying long in any family. I never Had a father figure and mother...In of the familys were I lived I was sexually abused as a 7 year old child in 3 years time...I was now totally broken as a human been inside. And the only feelings I had inside was hate and I was scared for all and did not trust no one. I started to use alcohol and drugs at the age of 12."

"I moved back home to my real mum. She was still drinking and doing all kind of criminal things. I was stealing, I robbed people, Went to school drunk and in drugs. My life was a total mess!!!! I was Praying a lot for my self many times, "If there is a God in heaven He needs to show up or I will take my life.""

"One day I went to the Assemblies of God church in my town where my father’s cousin was pastor. They had a Gipzy-revival meeting and I had my first experience of God in my life...I repented on my sins. And I was baptised 3 months later. But it did not work out 4 me!"
 
"Some months later I was back on the street and using dugs again and there I one day met my wife Sabina. She was also a Gipzy and a drug user. She had almost the same experiences in life. She was raped once by 3 men that was 10 year older than Her when She was 16. And She also wanted to Kill Herself. But She was also hoping that there is a God, and Her mother was a part of the Faith movement, She had a kind of faith in God already but couldn’t hear Him and see Him in her life......We were both full of wounds and pain and tried to find the strength in helping each others, bit that did not work without Jesus!!! We were fighting a lot. Stealing so we could buy our drugs."
 
"Then my wife got pregnant with our first child. She stopped using drugs!!! Hallelujah! The social workers told her that if we not change our lifestyle they will take our child away! So she stopped, but I did not, I still used drugs for 2 years more... Then we moved from Stockholm the Capitol of Sweden to get away from all our old so called "Friends from the old life". We moved to a small town and we stared to go to a AOG church and my wife was baptised there, we got married and stared to work with other alcoholics and drug users on a pentecostal rehab -center. But I still felt a emptyness inside of me and could not understand what was missing."

"I started to search the web and one day I was in a community on the web with apostolics (a virtual church). They were speaking on the topic of "Real salvation and experience of the Pentecost" I was listening to the preacher and His friends in this community... I was arguing with them and tried to show them scriptures, But I couldnt get anywhere with them! I came back everyday for at least 3 weeks into this chat room trying to warn people in this room from this "Devil doctrine" But the more I listened to it, I realised that this was the truth!!! I tried to find a church in my area teaching the same but there was not any but 6 hours away there was one of the 2 churches there is in Sweden....pastored By Claes Ankarcrona. I called Him with a panic in my heart that I need to be baptised!"

"Then 3 weeks later when I got some money I went to the church by train and I was baptised in that sweet name!!! Jesus!!! Glory! I am so happy and I can’t keep my tears back when I am thinking of all that God has done in my life! What happened after that is amazing! God sent some people from Modesto revival Center, the same people that called me and chatted with me for over 6 months...Came to preach the Gospel!!! After this the hell was loose! My wife wanted to leave me and I had one of the greatest trials in my life! But today My wife and I are still together, She is hungry fro the truth, still a little but confused about it sometimes , But She had a wonderful bible study at www.abnglobal.com with a man Sent from God ...Pastor and Brother Jim Blackshear!!! I am so happy for this contact that God gave me! I am happy for what God is doing in my family and in my community and I realise that is only the beginning!"
 
"Together we can win this world for Jesus Christ and spread the truth about Jesus and the baptism in Jesus name! My prayer is that we as apostolic people will raise up and shout of the truth on the mountains and get out from our comfortable zone, and reach the lost souls! I don’t still understand all about the Doctrines of the Oneness of God or Holiness etc. But one thing I just know, its the truth and the world needs the truth, please help me and join me in prayers and if you fell that God is calling you in any way to support us out the coming missionaries, please be obedient to the voice of the living God! Visit the web adress and sing up for the prayerteam for Finland or help the missionaries to come by supporting them economically. God bless you what ever you do in Jesus name!"

"I am also happy to tell yaw the soon coming missionaries to Finland, The Alphin's (www.pursuetheprize.org) are in contact with me now also...  They are going to start to raise funds in March next year. I hope they will be here soon. They will probably move to the Capitol of Finland, Helsinki in next 2 years time.... I hope that God will send more missionaries and AIM workers....I am so happy for this people coming! I need it with my family and Finland needs it!"
