Wild thing - wild jucntion

When you go to Colombo you have to be prepared for everything. And I never get stopped to be surprised and look at this photo. No, the buses are not standing still. They are moving toward each other and the other vehicles too. Did they crash? NO! '
Incredible? YES! I love the Sri Lankan traffic.

Night Photo

Here are some photos from morning hours and when darkness comes in the evening hours.
I love this time of the evening when the collors are changing.

Sinhala NTs

En liten oppdatering.
Vi jobber med som dere vet de Sinhala Ny Testament for Sri Lanka.
Det har kommet så langt at vi har fått unna nesten 10,000 Sinhala ny testament som skal til Sri Lanka. Vi har en del pocket versjoner igjen som skal bindes isammen men vi har fått unna delmålet vårt.
Her kan du se vi pakker ned så fort som de kan klare det.
Hver gang jeg kommer for å ta bilde av gutta ler dem. Bedre det enn sure fjes.

A small update:
As I have told in last in janaury we got a huge job printing Sinhala New Testaments. This job is now progressing well. We have delivered twice and pray these will come into good hands. Part goals are reaching but some way to go. So here you can see we are packing and every time I come down to the boys the keep laughing. Better that than not happy.

New corner rounding machine

New machines in the house. An improvement and now we have a rounding corner machine so we can round the corner of the covers. Its rather cool and it makes the covers round and nice.
Yepp a own machine for just rounding the corners.
Tim got it for a very good price from the good old US of A. God bless USA.

En Hyggelig Herremann hjelper oss, i 2 saker

For 1 uke siden opplevde vi å få pass på en dag til alle sammen i Sri Lanka.

Det var ikke uten strabaser og problem men Herren åpnet døra ved at en hyggelig herremann kom bort til oss og viste oss hvordan vi kunne få gjort dette på en-to-tre.

Ikke bare hjalp han oss. Ja sa bare follow me og vi vaste etter.
Først fortalte han oss hvem som skulle fylle ut papira for oss. Det ble gjort fort og riktig. Takk for at vi slepper å gjøre det tenkte jeg.
Så var det neste instanse: Så han sa : Just follow me!

Og denne mannen var ikke snauere enn at han hoppet over hele den lange køen inne på pass kontoret og gikk rett bort til sjefen på pass kontoret og sa disse trenger passa godkjent kjapt.

 

Kontroløren så opp på oss 5 halvt fortapte og spurte så etter navna i tur og orden: Først, : Roshini, Sithma og til slutt Nethmi. Og de viste sine fjes når de ble spurt. Da det var bekfrefta at Sithma var den hun var og Nethmi og Roshini var seg selv, dundret stempelet ned i paira som bevis for godkjent og pengene for passa ble betalt. Og så sa sjefen:  Come back at 3 pm and pick up the passports.

Roshini og jeg så bare på hverandre og hadde en enorm takk i våre hjerte.

Så tok denne herremannen som hoppet køen med oss ut i vente hallen og sa: nå gjør dere som sjefen der sa.

Vi kom tilbake klokken 3 pm. Måtte vente 30 minutter men så ropte kontroløren, Mrs.Svendsen.

Roshini gikk så bort og signerte alt og kom bort til meg: Viste alle de 3 flotte passa og der stod det Mrs.Svendsen, Roshini.

Så nå har Roshini nytt etternavn og alle i familien vår har nå pass.
Det siste var en hyggelig overaskelse for meg.

 

Så kom vi tilbake til Colombo den 17.Februar denne uken. Vi skulle registere bilen og det er et enormt papir velde det også. Byrrokratiet her elsker papir arbeid. Roshini durte inn med en kompis av oss på bil tilsynet.

Iløpet av den dagen fikk vi registrert bilen, og hun sa: En hyggelig herremann kom  der også og hjalp Roshini ut med skranker og hele registreringen. Gud har vert god mot oss i 2 viktige saker iløpet av 2 uker. Håper vi kan få de neste brikkene på plass i Norges turen med en hyggelig herremann der også.

 

Be for biletten går i orden.

Visum er ikke i orden enda men be at det går i orden-

 

Iløpet mars/april er alt i orden håper jeg.

 

Hilsen Sri Lanka

Flere resultat tikker inn og det viser at sittendes president kommer til å vinne. Den Indiske valg målingen viste at Presidenten ville få 58-60%. Valget og resultatene sier nesten det samme. Distrikt etter distrikt har han vunnet med 60-67%.

President valget 2010

Kjære leser!

Det er idag 21.Janaur og det er 5 dager til valget I Sri Lanka den 26Januar. Folket I landet vårt skal bestemme hvem som skal få lede landet videre.

Følgende hoved kandidatene er:

1. President Mahinda Rajapaksha fra UPFA (blad symbl

2. General Sarath Fonseka - opposisjons kandidaten (et hav av parti - svane symbolet)

Hvem vinner? Et godt spørsmål. Valgdags målingene viser mye men Presidenten vår har mange plasser en knapp ledelse eller et stor ledelse. Der er også undersøkelsesr som viser at generalen vil vinne også.

Likevel, hver med å be for at Sri Lanka får et fredfylt valg. Det har vert uroligheter, men la oss be at det roer seg ned. At Gud gir landet en god mann videre. Vi trenger ro fremover. Utvikling og fremgang. Folket har lidd I 30 år under borgerkrigen.

At krigen endelig ble over ifjor I mai var godt. Mange mennesker hadde det ondt, men det går fremover. Midt oppe I alt dette har vi fått være med å være til en velsignelse for landet. Og det skal vi fortsette med å være.  Så be for Sri Lanka I disse tider.

Så får vi se da den 27.Januar hvem som vant valget.

Takk for at du ber for Sri Lanka.

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. Also, his brother Arnold Brewer and his sister Regine Smith as well as numerous nephews and nieces.

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.

Little princess is 1 year

22.September our little princess, Elizabeth turned 1 year. And we had a small party for her.
Originally we had only invited some and twnty but we had over 35 in the end.
It was poacked and we all had a good time in the honor of little elizabeth. Since she is so small she fell asleep very soon.
But our little girl is now 1 year old.
Love from
Mum, dad, and loku aka Nethmi and aka Sithma.

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
