Election time

In 6 days we have the big showdown in Sri Lanka, on the 26th January. The people of Sri Lanka will go to their respective hometowns and vote. The decision is: Who should be the next president of this Island.
The contenders are:
1. President Mahinda Rajapaksha
2. Former General Sarath Fonseka
and 20 other candidates.
The election is between those 2 who think they should have the credit for ending the 30 year long civil war in Sri Lanka. On the government side we have the President and the oposition candidate you have Sarath Fonseka.
Recent polls shows many things. 1 showed the President ahead with 10-12%.
Another showed the General ahead with 1-2 % and another showed these 2 were even.
Which poll to believe?
1 year ago when the war was over everybody thought the President would call the election right away and win easy. Now people think it will be a neck-on-neck and close race to the door.
I am not so sure. I think the good old President will win simply because he is the president and he took the political decision to go ahead with the war.
On the other side many people like change but will the General manage to gather enough votes? Or will Uncle Mahinda get renew mandat for another 6 years?
Since I am traveling all over Colombo and lately down south were the President comes from you see posters of both candidates.
Election in Sri Lanka is different from other countries. People are very enthusiastic and it is interesting to look.
But in all of this, we should pray. Pray for Sri Lanka that we get a peaceful election and that God will grant us a good election. So continue to pray for Sri Lanka.
God bless you

In Loving Memory of dear Uncle E.J

This is the obituary of Evart. You can read it and pass it on.
For all of us who knew him and served with him we are garteful. We know one day we shall meet again.


Evart James Brewer, son of Cyril and Anna Brewer spent his childhood years in central Alberta before the family moved to Oregon where Evart attended high school. He participated in many sports and before returning to Canada he was offered a sports scholarship. Upon returning to Alberta he became the first apprentice mechanic for Halliburton Oil Well Cementing Company of Canada.Evart and Doreen were married in 1958. Evart worked 20 years for Halliburton where he enjoyed the opportunity to travel to the Arctic, Singapore as well as many places in Canada and the United States. He then spent 1 year with Federal Offshore in Nova Scotia which proved to be a wonderful adventure for his whole family. Upon returning to Alberta Evart taught heavy duty mechanics for3 years at NAIT then worked for Radium Well Servicing until taking his final full-time position with CN. Following his retirement he enjoyed working part-time for his nephew Doug Hilsabeck at Renn Mill. As a man who loved God, Evart was dedicated to serving his Lord in many aspects within the churches he attended. One of his special interests was mission work. He had the opportunity to be part of a short-term missions project to Guinea, Africa. Then most recently, Evart and Doreen fulfilled a dream they shared of ministering together in missions when they spent 3 years working in Sri Lanka for New Life Literature printing Bibles and Christian literature. Evart was a faithful and loving husband to Doreen. He loved, supported and encouraged his children in all their endeavors. His deepest desire for his family was to see them follow Christ and serve Him faithfully. Evart is predeceased by his parents Cyril and Anna Brewer. Left to cherish his memory and celebrate his life are his wife of 51 years, Doreen (Hilsabeck) and their children Greg (Janice) Brewer, Brian (Shannon) Brewer, Linda Brewer, Elaine Brewer, Tim Brewer, Kerry Brewer and 9 grandchildren, Michael, Courtney, Benjamin, Andrew, Kristen, Larry, Isaiah, Keiran, Kaice.

Day 3 on our trip down south - Sunday 3.Jan-2010











What a nice view we woke up today too. Synay morning and a beautiful beach.
The Lord had blessed us with a second good view, food not so good but I don't care.
So here we were, ready for a quick bath, so breakfast and then on to Galle. Today we had a lot of land to cover.
First stop for today was Martin Wickremansinghes museum. He was author and is probably the most famous Sri Lankan author. He wrote many stories and also geology interested him as well. We stopped there and looked at his ancestral home which also serves as museum of his work and also history of Sri Lanka. You can see many old artifacts. So if you are interested in history I can recommend this. You will learn a lot.
Next stop was Galle fortress and I have been there twice before but that is 4-5 years ago now. When we came here it was 12 noon and hot. But we had 2-3 things we really wanted to see. 1 was the old Dutch Reform Church. Very beautiful this church and I can recommend to go there.
Just before the church you can see a old hotel which they say is old and nice. Its ok!
But if you want to see a nice church you should go 200 meters further down the street and have a look at the Anglican Church. This church is alive and interesting. It may not have the same space as the Dutch church but it is nice. Roshini and I went in and had a nice look. I am glad we did because this was a church I like a lot.
It reminds me about some of the other churches the Englishmen built here in that time Ceylon.
After Roshini and I had stopped for that we all 8 went down to the view point. Saw the ocean and the famous tower. It was rather hot and those sellers kept on trying to sell us
table cloths and other stuff.
I think the women finally gave in and bought something. We men just shock our heads and that it.
After that it was time for food so we went on to a small restaurant and had a good food in Hikkaduwa. Good and quick. From Hikkaduwa till Colombo which we covered in a short time we stopped at the famous place were the trains was taken by the Tsunami 26 December 2004. over 1500 people died on that train. Our driver Ranga was also driving in that area when this happened. It’s a miracle he is alive and it was nice to hear from someone who experienced this event. Myself lost friends at this train so it’s a bit emotional but good to see.
Since so many died at this place the people was afraid of being haunted by ghosts so they got build a huge buddha statue with help from Japan. This statue makes them feel much more safe.
They also build a high wall at the sea lane so the road goes behind it so the waves can't flush right in now as it did in December 2004.
After that we drove to Colombo where the women got some shopping time while we men and children went to a coffee shop. A fair deal.
We were home late but it was a good trip after all.
Home sweet home

Day 2 on our trip down south - 2.Jan-2010

Day 2 we woke up early and knew this would be a good day. The sun was shining and we looked out the window at the beaitiful swimming pool and the rice field.




We thought we would go to the Yala safari but when our good guide told us the night before this would take 4 hours plus additional 30 minutes to get there. Well, just forget it.
So we
arranged for a boat trip on the Tisse lake and that was a great success for everybody that was.



The girls had fun and after 1 hour we could depart from Tissemaharama for Galle.
And on thatv round trip we saw a lot of things.
From Tissemaharama to the next hotel it was 5 hours drive. Down at this area you can see a lot of cactuses and they are very tall.

We saw the famous salt factory, well passed by it in Tissemaharama.
Between there and the new destination we should watch a famous Blowhole in Sri Lanka.
We should stop by Matara Fortress right after. We planned to stop and have a look but time run out here.
After Matara came Tangalle, President Mahinda Rajapaksha hometown. And there did we see posters of him and his family all over the town. But we also stopped at the famous Tangalla Beach Hotel. The time has stood still and so has the up keeping of it too unfortunately. But that doesn't mean its nice. Rather picturesque to be honest with the nice beach and cliffs. To see the wild waves breaking and hitting the cliffs there in Tangalle.

After a good lunch we headed on towards the hotel.
But this was a good day, maybe a bit much driving again but not as bad as day 1.
We got to see many interesting things. If you never have been down south I recommend you spend time on each place and rush like we did. Time limits are not good, but take your time here-.

Evart passed away

 
Our good friend and co-worker Evart Brewer passed away last Saturday.
For all of us here at New Life it was a shock when we received the news.
 
Please pray for Doreen his wife and their family.
 
Evart was a gentleman who served the Lord almost up the very end before he went hoem to the Lord. Just mid-October last year (2009) they (Evart&Dorren) stayed in Sri Lanka. They left home to Canada.
Evart and Doreen served at New Life in 2 periods.
First time 1.5 year between 2004 and 2006 and second time from 2007 February to mid-October 2009, just with a short stay in Canada in June-July last year.
EJ incredible hands had a touch on every machine at New Life.
During the last SIM order the credit goes to EJ that we managed to finish up because the EJ kept many of the machines running when they broke down.
To make it all more impressive, before EJ came to Sri Lanka he had never worked on printing equipment in his entire life.
God helped and we praise God for us having the privilige to getting to know EJ.
God bless and it is good he is now home with The Lord is so joyfully served.

3 day trips to south - Day 1

Day 1 of our trip went like this: should go from Negombo to Tissemaharama. That long name is down south by Yala National park.
1st of January means also to start up Roshini factory with prayers and traditional cakes, kiri bath and other Sri Lankan cousins. Kiri bath is milkrice and very tasty. So Roshini prayed in Sinhalese, my father Tore in English and on it went.
By 1030 we were on our way to South. and what an experience. One road was closed so we had to take a different village drive and that was fun. Up and down, bumpy and sideways we went.
But after 1.5 hour it was over and we got good road. From there to the lunch it went pretty straight forward. We saw a lot of beautiful nature. When we came to south of Sri Lanka we saw by the road side women selling pillows. I sensed the women needed a stop and look at something they like so we stopped immediately. So there we got some very good cushions and on we went. And now we drove all the way to the hotel. This part of the south Hambentota has changed a lot since 2004 when I came last time. Roads are better and now the new Harbour installation they are working on is coming up as well.
The nature is different so we had a lot of nice things to look at while we were driving.
Finally we xame to the hotel and its location is close by a lake and it is very beautiful.
The sun set here was beautiful so you can see the beautiful sunset here.
And so the day 1 of the trip was over, after a delicious meal at the hotel.
 Here you can see pictues from day 1.

thanks to 2009

Dear friends!
I just want to thank you all who has supported us 2009 through prayers and other ways.
Itr has been a very special year.
With another year seeing our children growing up and getting older. Our oldest daughter Nethmi went from 5 to 6 grade and that was a big change for her.
For Sithma she is in 5th grade and doing well. Improving her school marks and God is good to her.
For little Elizabeth we see she is turning into a a little princess charming and a lots of fun.
 
For Roshini it has been busy in the second half and we thank God for His help in her factory and production.
For me at New Life it has been very interesting. taking important steps in renewing the computer section is under way. It is a lot of work but we have started.
At New Life we had a though year but it has progressed in the right direction and we got jobs like printing over 600,000 copies of the Gospel of Mark. And that amount will keep increasing as we will go into the new year, 2010.
We also printed 40,000 sinhalese and tamil new testaments for Sri Lanka.
Sent Bibles to China, NTs to Burma, sent NTs and Bibles to India and much more.
It was a year we were very busy at the management level. We saw changes as our Personal Manager retired and one of our most faithful bindery works, Allenson retired as well.
But 2 very important things for us at New Life are:
1. The Heidleberg started to run and is now a huge blessing for our colour books.
2. The Printing section was put under air condition and that made a huge change to the printing shop and our quality.
3. The Goss that we got repaired is now a major working machine now and spits out books in huge quantities.
 
I could keep mentioning many things but I sense a great Joy and looking forward to the 2010. What will it bring?
Many things but we look forward to the Norway trip now in 2010.
Pray God will help us there.
God bless you all and lots of love from
Svend & Roshini
    Nethmi, Sithma & Elizabeth

25th Year Anniversary - New Life Literature 1984-2009



Dear mission friends!
Last Friday, 9.October 2009 New Life celebrated its 25th anniversary. We had 3 Norwegian couples, plus the chairman for New Life, Mr.Gunnar Andås and many more people.
It was a splendid day and we all enjoyed this in our newly air conditioned printing hall with all the workers.
It is with a great sense of humbleness and gratitude to God we can see what God has done in the last 25 years. Many people have laid down blood, sweat and tears in this work. For me, I have stayed here 6.5 years and see huge changes just in the last 3-4 years. We stand in awe and know God has great things to come for New Life. We've just begun.
Keep praying for all of us.,
Love
Svend&Roshini

Update on Gospel of Mark


As you know we will print the Gospel of Mark in 10 languages for the following countires India, Nepal, Pakistan and more.This map shows the languages and places where the Gospel of Mark booklets will be distributed. The total quantity requested now has been increased to 500,000. If each book is read by at least 4 people, perhaps many more, then it has the potential of reaching 2 million people or more, all over India and also into Nepal, Bangladesh and Pakistan. All that for only $0.10 each!

As of today, we have received $14,242 toward the goal of $45,000. Each booklet costs $0.10 each which includes the shipping to India and the local distribution being handled by World Bible Translation Center in Bangalore. We could still use some more help in order to fully fund this project. We have already ordered a container of 24 rolls of paper, plus plates, ink, staple wire and other supplies. We hope to begin printing the covers next week while we are waiting for the rest of the paper to arrive.

Here I am


In the last few weeks we had Jon Christian, a former foreigner who worked 7 years at New Life. He comes every year back to Sri Lanka and visit us.

At the same time you can also see my working place here.

The Cross and The Switchblade


You all may knwo the book: The Cross & The Switchblade by David Wilkerson from the 50s. Later came the movie which I saw inn my early teens and facenated me a lot.

Now finally the book has been translated through New Life Literature and for the first time the book is in Sinhalese, for Sri Lankans.

We have recently printed 5,000 copies and will soon publish it.

Here you can see the cover.

Heideberg first JOB NOW, at nll

Last night we started the Heidelberg press up and today we are running the first coloring job on it.
It is the Words for Today, which is a dual language book cover. English and Chinese. This is the machine we had the accident with, but now it runs nicely.
Praise God for that.

We have now other jobs lined up so this is just wonderful.
Here you can see from the left the operators: Ajith, Priyashantha and Upul. The last one is Anthony our Supervisor in the Print section.

Election

My dear reader!
Tonight Norway is deciding who shall rule the country. The left side or the right side.
My personal views are not a secret. I prefer a more center-right government and hope the Green-Red government will loose the election tonight. We can always hope and pray for the best.

But who ever wins, the people of \Norway spoke and we must bow for that. This is after all: A democracy.

Valget 2009 fra Sri Lanka

Kjære leser!
Så har jeg også gjort min plikt og stemt til den norske storting. Og i den anledning kommer det noen tanker.
Vi nordmenn kan stemme på ambassader i utlandet, nær hjemmet i Norge osv. Som regel på en skole eller samfunnshus osv.
Men for mange er dette er rett som ikke alle har, her i Asia skal en ikke se langt etter før man ser at frihet til å si det en tror og mener kan koste. Livet i verste omgang. I Sri Lanka skal en ikke gå for mange år tilbake og enkelte mener vel enda det er ikke helt demokratisk. Likevel, føler jeg at nordmenn har en stor frihet.
En skal være takknemlig for at en kan vite at ens stemme i teller. At en har enda den ytrings og ikke minst valgfrieheten. For ikke for mange måneder siden feiret vi nordmenn vår grunnlov som er bevis på vår frihet, en kamp som ble kronet med seier.

Over til valget i Sri Lanka. Det var tamme greier. Ingen parti logoer eller noen ting. Da bør du gå på Sri Lankisk valg for det er liv og røre. Der fyres det opp med musikk, fyrverkiri og gjerne litt for mye annet bråk. Fargefulle plakater og annet. Her har en enten Elefanten eller Bladet som er symbolet til samlings regjeringen. Neste gang her er valg i Sri Lanka skal jeg skrive, men du lurer hva stemte Svend?
Ja det er et godt spørsmål. De som kjenner meg vet nok hva det ble og hva slags type er, men siden valget i Norge er hemmelig, holder jeg min stemme hemmelig også.
Men Norge hadde ikke hatt ondt av å fått bytte bort dagen regjering. Sm støtter tigrer og andre terrorister.
Så kjære leser, gjør din samfunns plikt og stem.
hilsen en som stemte idag på forhånd

Tamil new testaments - Tamilske Ny Testament


Its with great joy we just shipped out 8,000 Tamil New Testaments to Sri Lanka.
Not every day we can do that its we great joy we did that.

We sent 2000 copies earlier this year and now we sent the last part for now.
We did 40,000 copies of the gospels and N.T in Tamil last year for India.

Pray that these N.Ts will come into the right hands. His word never returns empty handed.

Nå tidleig i Juni fikk vi sent siste rest av en ordre på 10,000 tamilske ny testament inn i Sri Lanka. Det var med stor glede at vi fikk sent dem.

17.may-09 The Constiton day - Grunnlovsdagen


Every Year Norway celebrate its own constitution. So did our family as well here in Sri Lanka. Norway got the const, yes on the 17th May 1814. When over 112 Norwegian gather at Eidvoll and wrote the constitution of Norway, after Denmark had lost the Napoelon wars and Norway was handed over as a gift to Sweden. That we Norwegian didn't like, but enough history.(If you are a history buff like me, read link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constitution_of_Norway)
On this day oru family went to Colombo and celebrated it with other Norwegians at the residence of the Norwegian Ambassador.
There we had cakes, hot dog, ice-cream and, cakes and more good food. Plus laughter and joy.
My 3 girls, specially Sithma and Nethmi enjoyed it immensily since they got to eat plenty of Norwegian food.
For Roshini, my wife and Elizabeth (born last September) it was the first time and both of them enjoyed it a lot.

After a good celebratioon we went shopping for cloths and ended up in the swimming pool in Negombo, all of us.

17.Mai er dagen da vi nordmenn feirer grunnloven vår. I Sri Lanka ble dette feiret som alle andre år. Iår var feiringen den beste noen sinne for min del. Hele familien var med iår og vi feiret den sammen med andre nordmenn
Dette var dagen da krigen ogs gikk mot slutten i Sri Lanka og det ble merket med glede.
Vi koste oss hele familien og hadde det fint der. My god mat samt at jentene fikk også spist pølse med brød, lompe, kronkaker, bløtekake, is, brus og koltbor plus mer mat. Vi rullet ut døra, og som dere kan se. Vi var runde ette festen, men glade.
Dette er den beste 17.mai feiringen jeg noen sinne har hatt i Sri Lanka.

Påske hilsen


PÅSKEHILSEN FRA SRI LANKA 2009
___________________________________________________________________
Fredskongen på Sion - Sakarja.9v9


v9 Rop høyt av glede, Sions datter,bryt ut i jubel, Jerusalem!
Se, din konge kommer til deg.Rettferdig er han, og seier er gitt ham; ydmyk er han og rir på et esel,på den unge eselfolen.







Det er Lang-Fredag eller Good-Friday som det heter på engelsk. Det er påske og atter en gang skal vi få feire at Jesus tok vår synd og gav oss liv, fremtid og håp. Seieren er gitt HAM, rettferdig, ydmyk og glede kommer med HAM. En slik kjærlighet er ikke alltid lett å forstå i dybden men hvor takknemlig jeg er for å få ta imot den og fortelle andre om den. At Jesus som red inn og som er Fredskongen har Kommet og at HAN ER OPPSTANDEN.
Vår familie i år feirer litt ukonvensjonelt. Barna dro til besteforeldrene og vi ble sittende igjen med lille Elizabeth. For oss vil det nok bli litt besøk av de syke i menigheten og venner. Slappe av og se på en annen feiring som feires i Sri Lanka på samme tid. Sri Lanka er som sagt et buddhistisk land, og den buddhistiske religion er nedtegnet i Sri Lanka sin konstitusjon. At den skal ha første plass og bevares. Nå i April kommer den Sinhalesiske og tamilske nytt års feiringen,. Dette er Sri Lanka sin nyttårs feiring som kommer i midten av April. Dette har med sola sin posisjon og astrologi samt religionen her (budhismen). Det er også en markering på slutten av innhøstingene sesongen. Dette inntreffer samtidig 2 tilfeller der står rett ovenfor Sri Lanka. Og på den agen sola står rett ovenfor Koggala i Sri Lanka som har et sol sted som viser dette. Men som mye i buddhismen så er nytt års feiringen avgjort av strologiske tegn. Så kristne feirer ikke denne begivenheten i det hele tatt, men spennendes å se landets tradisjoner.
Vi har en stor misjons mark forrand oss og jeg snakker ikke bare om Sri Lanka. For Sri Lanka fikk vi nylig trykket 20,000 Sinhalesiske ny testament som er på vei inn i landet. Og vi gleder oss at dette viktige ORDET er på vei inn til nye hender, steder og familier som ikke har fått ta imot Guds Ord før. Be for dem som deler ordet ut til de ufrelste.
Fredag 20.Mars ble Nethmi og min gebursdag feiret
siden vi begge har gebursdag på samme dato, den 20.mars. Og det ble feiret med kake, jordbær ja og ris&curry. Meget Godt alt sammen.Vi er takknemlig for alle gaver, kort m.m som kom. Gud velsigne dere for at dere sente til oss.

Det er også regntid i Sri Lanka og det regner skikkelig nå. Vi har ikke opplevd som i fjor da vi hadde 6 timer regn og flom i hagen, men det er nok av vann i hagen etter hver bidige regn skyll. Det som er morsomt er at vannet synker så kjapt til jorden iløpet av få timer.
Håper dere vil ha en God Påske!

Hilsen fra oss i Sri Lanka
Nethmi, Sithma, Elizabeth, Råshini og Svend

Burmesiske Nt'er

Dear friends!
A few months back we sent a big shipment of Burmese NTs. Now they are arriving and I will put out the pdf-file so you can read the rapport.

You can go to my website: www.geocities.com/svendtrygvesvendsen/

Its in Norwegian.
Svend

BURMESISKE NY TESTAMENTA KOMMER FREM!
(oversatt av svend, orginal av Tim Comer, engelsk)
Vår første ladning av burmesiske ny testamenter er i ferd med å komme blant det
burmesise folket. Og mottakelsen er veldig god. De blir tatt imot blan flykninger fra Burma
som bor i flykningeleirer i Thailand.
Fleste av disse menneskene kommer fra Karenni
stammen, og de alle har forferdlige historier å fortelle
om hva den Burmesiske arme har gjort mot dem.
Fleste av dem leser Burmesisk.
Karenni kvinnene er kjente for sine lange halser og det
har gjort dem til et turist attraksjon i nord Thailand.
Men flere yngre kvinner slutter med det pga job og
studier slik de kan bo i utlandet.
Mange av flykningene har blitt jaget ut av Burma av de millitæret. Millitæret har brent
hjemme, voldtatt kvinnene og drept mange av deres familie medlemmer. I nordre Thailand
bor det cirka 20,000 av Karenni stammen i flkningeleirer. Fleste av de som får her et ny
testament har aldri før hatt et testament.
Ei ung dame ved navn SayLah Too, 14 år sa: Jeg kom til leiren for bare 2 uker siden.
De burmesiske soldatene kom og angrep min landsby. Jeg flyktet unna sammen me
min storesøster, mens hennes far ble tvunget til å jobbe som slave for hæren til han
ble syk. Da skjøt de ham! Mennesket er ikke vert mye der som dere kan lese.Henne
mor rømte inn i skogen og døde der. Nå studerer SayLah og håper å bli en lærer.
Hun trives bedre nå.
En annen 13 årig gutt forteller: “ Han fortelle:
Han har vert i leiren i 3 år. Han også rømte fra
de burmesise soldatene. De tvang folket hans
til å være bærere og sparket dem. Jeg så dem
sparke min onkel og at han bar tung byrde på
sin rygg. De sparket også min tante og tvng
henne til å gi fra seg sine kyllinger.Det tok
meg 4 dager å nå denne flykninge leiren i
Thailand.
Her føler han seg trygg og kan studere for en
fremtid som sykepleier så han kan tjene sitt
folk. Men det viktigste: Han fikk en BIBEL så
nå kan han lære å kjenne HERREN.” Da jeg
leste denne emailen fra Tim gråt jeg.
Dere som har vert med å støttet har ikke vert
med for gjeves. Dere som har bedt skal vite at
dette arbeidet er så viktig. I Burma lider de
mange, så be så det gamle testamentet kan
bli oversatt kjapt over de jobber med det nå.
Det er en glede for oss som trykker ny testamenta.
Det er dette vi jobber for. Å se menneskerbli satt i frihet fra bånd og se FRIHET OG
HERRENS GLEDE.
For ORDET SIER: Hvordan kan de komme til tro uten å høre?
Da Tim så disse talte Herren til ham og sa: Noen av disse vil du se i Himmelen. La oss be at disse
ny testamenta kan føre til manges frelse.
Broderlig hilsen fra Sri Lanka

5 måneder idag - 5 months today

'

Igår, søndag 22.Februar ble Elizabeth 5 måneder. Vi alle fikk i akkurat feiret det
Men vi feirer det med å legge ut et helt ferskt bilde av jenta vår. Hun er vakker.

Yesterday our little angel, Eøozabeth turned 5 months.
We didn't exactly celebrate it, but since its 5 months we publish the recent photo which is from today.

Besides that the construction in the New Life is taken a nice turn. The air condition is being prepared for installation so that one moves forward as well.
