Heart of Evangelism, founded by Sebastian Stakset and his team, is currently traveling throughout Sweden with the campaign ‘There is Hope.’ In collaboration with local churches, they are gathering large crowds of people and preaching about Jesus. Flavia Perez and Betz Assefa are two members of the team who have encountered the light and will be joining us at the Europe Conference. Betz comes from a difficult criminal background where life lacked meaning, but now he travels to churches and schools, speaking to both young and old about his life. Flavia also comes from a difficult background and as she says, “I sought confirmation everywhere and that people would see my heart, but God saw my heart.” Today, she leads “Heart Stockholm” with her husband and does amazing work. At the Europe Conference, we will hear both Flavia and Betz talk about how God has taken them from darkness into his transforming love!

Janne was involved in a serious traffic accident in August 2022. We thank God that he survived. He has been in the hospital since then and is currently in a wheelchair, continuing his rehabilitation.
