Trust the process: Final evaluation

-

The first Go(o)d Seed Project is over. At least for Valeria and me. 

Let's see what we accomplished in the second half compared to the first one. 

We had an average of 22.9 people on Tuesday evenings (first part: 24,9). Despite this, we had 116 people (first part: 112) from 22 different countries (first part: 19). Some people could have loved it because 29 people (first part: 27) came more than five times.  In addition, 61 people attended for the first time.  



We are pleased to report that on Thursday, a total of 70 persons (first part: 66) visited Mötesplatsen. We had an average of 13.5 persons attending (first part: 17.1). Nonetheless, we had guests from 15 different nations (first part: 9). In addition, we had the pleasure of welcoming 27 newbies (first part: 17). We did, however, greet 14 persons (first part: 20) more than 5 times. 









We welcomed an average of 4.45 people during open church (first part: 6). However, we are delighted to report that we had a total of 24 people (first part: 20). We were 7 unique nations in total (first part: 5). We were pleased to discover that we had 10 newcomers and 7 persons who visited more than 5 times. Despite the fact, we as volunteers are included. 







Our youth group was at rock bottom. We had 9.6 youth on average (first part: 24.9). However, a total of 72 people were there. There are 24 newcomers included. Our average age is 18 years old, despite the fact that our youngest was 14 and our oldest was 27 years old. We welcomed back more than 5 times, 10 youth in total. 





Despite this, we formed a new group. I'd like to introduce Unga Vuxna Lule. Every second Saturday evening, everyone above the age of 18 were welcomed in church. Despite the fact that we need more structure and that it was more of a testing period, we welcomed an average of 13.14 people. We had a total of 46 young adults in attendance. We are pleased to inform that 26 persons joined the church for the first time. 





We don't just focus to elderly teenage people.  Skatten is available for youngsters. This occurs during the service. We had an average of nine children. We are delighted to note that 15 children returned more than five times. 



And with this, I wanna say thank you for everyone who was part! And Welcome back!



*In all numbers, except of Skatten, are the volunteers included.

Oussama shares his story in the third person perspective of how he has journeyed in search of spiritual truth which has led him to Christianity.  I n the ancient city of Marrakech, Morocco, lived a young man named Jamal. Born into a devout Muslim family, Jamal grew up surrounded by the rich tapestry of Islamic traditions and customs. However, despite the vibrant culture that enveloped him, Jamal often felt a profound sense of emptiness, as if something crucial was missing from his life. One day, while navigating the bustling streets of the medina, Jamal encountered a group of Christians who were sharing their faith. Intrigued by their message of love, forgiveness, and the promise of eternal peace, Jamal engaged in conversations that sparked a spiritual awakening within him. As he delved into the teachings of Christianity, Jamal found solace in the words of Jesus Christ. The verse from Acts 4:12 resonated with him deeply: "Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other n...

Nonviolent Communication: A Language Of Compassion

By Palina Tupik   Let us become the change we seek in the world. -Mahatma Gandhi Recently we’ve finished reading “Nonviolent communication” by Marshall B. Rosenberg with our community. I want to share with you the story how I was contributing to emotional violence before reading this book without even realizing it and how the thoughts from this book help me now to be more compassionate for my own needs and needs of others. Before reading it, I was sure that I’m really good at communicating with people. I thought: “Yeah, if there is a problem, I need to immediately talk with the person to solve it because this relationship is really important for me and I want to be 100% sincere with others”.

Usually I organize all our meetings. Can you just initiate more so I will know that you love me?” . What was I waiti...
