My burden is specifically for the Sami of northern Sweden. Many of these people have never heard the true Gospel of Christ. Ancient tradition, Lutheranism, and Catholicism have all vied for the hearts of these people - there is a great need for Truth!<br /><br />At this time there are no fundamental Baptist missionaries working and ministering in the arctic of Sweden. Who will tell these Sami people about the greatest gift ever offered to mankind - Salvation by grace through faith, bought with the precious blood of our Savior, Jesus Christ?<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8964714523622756501-1867314170557140402?l=sami4christ.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>swedenboundhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07381514996803412318noreply@blogger.com2
