Commissioning Service

The final session of our Gathering is a time of praising God together, listening to and reflecting on his Word. We are sent out to serve Him in today’s Europe with our time, talents, and treasures. The Commissioning Service is led by Lars Dahle and Usha Reifsneider and features speakers Zefjan Nikolla, Anca Cocos and Luke Greenwood.

They started working together just before they got married, and have a mission team in the villages. Anca is on the worship team and ministers to the women in the villages where they work.
