Hei hei!

My name is Gabriela and my husband, Austin and I are American expats living in Olso, Norway! We came for Austin's work in May 2015 and while we don't plan for this to be our permanent home, we are trying to build Godly community here.

If you're living in Oslo (or anywhere in Norway for that matter!) you probably know just how difficult it is to make friends here, much less friends who are fellow Believers. Having been very much touched by the Ransomed Heart message over the years, I felt I should post on the Allies Network about a small group. If you are a fellow expat feeling uprooted and alone or a fellow Norwegian Believer wanting Godly community please, please contact me! WE NEED EACH OTHER! Ok calming down now. I would love to get something started, whether it's simply a ladies meetup for tea and encouragement and prayer (men: I know my hubster is craving male hang time so please reach out!) or meeting altogether on a night during the week for spiritual refreshment!

A little bit about us...

Austin and I are in our mid to late 20s and have been married about a year. We hail from Houston, TX, USA. I was terrified of moving over here, despite my love of travel. Somehow God gave me the strength to do this move. I knew then but now I'm starting to actually see how it will be a wonderful experience for us and bear good fruit in our lives. That doesn't mean that we don't have times when we look at each other and say "what the heck are we doing here"?! But we are trying to be open and also wait in expectation for what God has in mind for us here! 

We believe that Jesus Christ is the Messiah and that He came for us to have life abundant. Praise God! 

If any of this resonates with you and you live in Oslo or near it, please email me at gabriela.schwaig@gmail.com. :)

I started a blog when we got here about our experiences. Please feel free to check it out to get a feel for us! https://fjordlife.wordpress.com

Warmly,

Gabriela Johnson
