Arthur Andås has passed away.
It was a message with mix emotions. On one hand, as the Bible says rejoice another one had finished the raise in Faith of His saviour Jesus Christ.
On the other hand his family loss
So why do I write about Arthur?
Arthur was for years a neighbor, a friend and a church elder for me.
But he was also a man with a passion for the mission, and Gods Word.
Im glad I experienced this side of him, the man who had a deep commitment and fire for the Word of God.
Without His passion for the Printed word I wouldn't been in Sri Lanka today.
It all started back at Solvoll and the Smyrna Bible college in the summer of 2000. Our school had just arrived from the trip to Brazil. A month full of Gods grace and we were light on fire for the Lord.
My commitment for the mission work had got a major boost.
My heart was burning to serving the Lord but I didn't know in what capacity.
Here he comes and asked, would I be interested to go to Sri Lanka.
Long story short, I went that fall and 3 years later I came permanently to Sri Lanka, rest is history.
I thank the Lord for using Arthur to get me to Sri Lanka.
Without a obedient servant history would have been different.
Therefore be obedient when the Lord talks.
You can be used, just be available for the Lord.
