Our Strategy to Reach the Nation
Norway is predominantly humanistic in thought and disillusioned by generations of religiousness in Scandinavia. The Foursquare family in Norway is reaching out to people seeking authentic and meaningful relationship. With this in mind, WorldBase Norway is training and sending people out with the blessing of the Good News in a fresh, anointed approach to unchurched people. Ministry focus is church planting, evangelism, discipleship and the equipping and training of people for ministry throughout Scandinavia and the neighboring countries. Today, we have two established churches and one pioneer church. It is our goal to plant churches in key port cities, along the coastline of Norway that have strategic access to Scandinavia and the Baltics.
