Håkan sends a greeting from the hospital

Last week, there were articles about Håkan and the Gniste family in two Christian newspapers in Sweden. I won’t translate the entire articles, but just wanted to pass on Håkan’s greeting which appeared in “Världen idag” on Wednesday the 12th of August:

A greeting from Håkan Gniste

Thanks. A big thanks to God for life. A big thanks to everyone who has been with us during this time, all the prayers, everyone who has helped and supported us, both in Sweden and abroad. Thanks to my family, especially to Gunilla, who has borne so much during these months. Thanks to all our children, family and relatives. Thanks to Fristaden and all our brothers and sisters in the faith in Uddevalla, who have helped in one way or another. Thanks to everyone who has stood with us through the blog, in prayer and gifts. The Body of Christ isn’t only meetings and events; the Body of Christ is much more. It is the Body of Christ which is attractive; it is the Body which will change. This happens when relationships are deepened among Christians, and we need to pass this on to the next generation.

Håkan Gniste,
Rehab Unit,
Uddevalla Hospital

  2. What a testimony! I met you some 22-23 years ago at SYRK Bible School in Finland... I was the only Spanish student there and later on I visited you and your church. Both my wife and I have always kept fond memories of you. We praise the Lord for your family and testimony and pray for a fast recovery.
