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. 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.

  A Transformative Journey: Finding Purpose in The Good Seed Project Av Mariam  Tsutskiridze In the quaint town of Luleå, my life took an unexpected turn three weeks ago. I had traversed through moments of doubt, lost faith, and a myriad of challenges. Desperation led me to a moment of prayer, a plea to a higher power for a sign that something greater existed. Little did I know that the answer to my prayers would manifest in the form of a project that not only revitalized my spirit but also became a beacon of hope for those around me.

The skepticism lingered as I cautiously approached this newfound opportunity, wondering how I would fit into a project grounded in shared beliefs. Yet, from the moment I set foot in Luleå, something changed within me.   The atmosphere of this place, filled with genuine people, instantl

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.

Written by Oussama Echchalim      I arrived in Lulea nearly three weeks ago, and life here has been a striking departure from what I'm accustomed to. It's like experiencing the opposite end of the spectrum. The city exudes tranquility; there aren't many residents, and the weather is remarkably cold. This is in stark contrast to Casablanca, a city characterized by its high population density and constant noise. In a way, I believe that's precisely the point. It's why I chose to come here. I could have applied for projects in other countries with more cultural similarities, but I deliberately chose this path. I yearned to live and experience the extreme opposite. So far, life here has been incredibly fulfilling. Josh, Elisabeth, and I engage in a variety of activities in Sundet, namely gardening. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, we prepare dinner in EFS church. The community meals that we share are a open and everyone is welcome. Even many individuals on the fringes of soci
