Iceland Report
by Aubry Tyler SOC Director
I was scheduled to run a school in Iceland with forty ministers from Iceland and from all over Europe and Africa. All the preparation was being done by Gospel Channel as our programs were seen in 52 nations. The response was overwhelming as calls began to come in from mostly senior pastors for the month of September. We had set in motion the invitations and appropriate paper work for those whom applied to come. The week before I left for Iceland I had a call which confirmed to me there would be a full school this session.
Only after arriving in Iceland did I learn that most of our students were not allowed visas to enter into Iceland. With the situation of new terrorist laws the immigration process has been turn over to the Danish embassy. With that process it was impossible for most of those who applied to come as they were denied entry.
I was surely discouraged as I was faced with the possibility of running a school with only nine students. After much prayer and a talk with Pastor Clendennen the decision was made to go ahead as scheduled. Out of a few came a great work as God began to move and the transformation of the lives of those who came. One man 60 years of age from Norway came and what a door God has opened through him. He is the head chairman of a bible school in Norway with TV Production Company as well. He told me he had stopped producing programs because of the lack of finding the real gospel. He is now excited that he has come in contact with us and he says he knows this is the message he needs to put on the airways of Norway. A great effectual door has been opened that we can reach Norway, Finland, Sweden and Denmark with the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Another brother there was from Greece and has gone back to set in motion a plan for us to come and began a work there also. This has reaffirmed to me that God does not need the masses he only needs the right people and the few can affect the many. Because of you that give and send we can finish the great commission of going into every nation and make disciples of all men.
