50 years to where we are now

 

But  First  Torben Sondergaards Latest News letter 

Dear friends,

We hope you are all doing well. 🙏

We are sending out this newsletter to our family in The Last Reformation, to give you a little glimpse of what God is doing right now — and it’s truly something special.

This last weeks we’ve been gathering and working closely with friends from all over the world:

Armando (Mexico), Olivier (Canada), Edouard (France), Enco (Croatia), Joah (Netherlands), Jón (France), Robbert (Netherlands), Joël (Switzerland), Remon (Netherlands), and Todd (Mexico). 🇲🇽🇫🇷🇭🇷🇳🇱🇫🇴🇨🇭🇺🇸

Each week we’ve been talking and praying together about how to create a movement — learning, sharing, and seeking God together about how we can see growth, multiplication, and unity, both within The Last Reformation and alongside other churches.

🌎 The Movement and the Churches

It’s been beautiful to see how God is leading us to work in two main directions:

Strengthening The Last Reformation as a movement — building, multiplying, and helping it grow stronger across nations.

Working together with existing churches — helping pastors and leaders experience true discipleship and multiplication within their congregations.

It reminds us of how Peter and Paul each had their focus — one reaching the Jews, the other the Gentiles.

In the same way, some of us are focusing more on helping traditional churches come alive, while others are focusing on strengthening the movement itself.

There are countries where The Last Reformation is already growing strong — with unity, fruit, and multiplication. These places serve as examples for others.

Then there are countries where the work is still young and needs more leadership and direction. That’s why leaders from the stronger countries have come together to pray, plan, and help the others — so we can see a stronger and healthier global network emerge.

More information about this will be coming out in the next month or two, as many exciting new developments are taking shape!

🇳🇴 What God Is Doing in Norway

I (Torben) am currently in Norway, working closely with several churches.

The past week has been very full — sometimes with two or three meetings per day — meeting pastors and leaders who are hungry for discipleship and transformation.

I’ve been sharing with them why God called me to Norway and what I believe He wants to do here. Many new doors have opened!

We are now beginning weekly trainings for pastors and leaders, where I share the principles of discipleship.

I’m also starting two weekly training sessions inside local churches to help them walk in obedience and multiplication.

I believe this will be a very fruitful season. As we begin to see transformation and fruit — just like we saw in Mexico — more and more churches will open their doors.

I truly believe that what God is doing here in Norway will be talked about across the nation and throughout Europe.

This is just the beginning of something new.

God took me into jail for a reason.

He worked deeply in my heart there.

He gave me a vision for the church while I was in jail.

And now, I’m seeing the fruit of that season.

But it was not only me God worked on in jail — He was also working in the hearts of many others at the same time.

Our friend Olivier from Canada is a great example. He is now beginning to see many open doors in Canada, working with local churches and starting new trainings there.

I truly believe that what God has begun in him will grow and spread — and that we will soon hear powerful testimonies coming out of Canada and America as well.

So all over the world, there are amazing things happening! 🌎

Please stay tuned — in the coming weeks and months, we’ll share more about what God is doing through this growing movement.

If you haven’t read my book “412 Days”, I encourage you to do so.

It’s a very real and honest book where I share the transformation I experienced in jail and the vision I’m now living out here in Norway.

🎥 New Teaching: The Five-Fold Ministries

We have just released the next teaching in the How to Create a Movement series — and this one is very special.

It’s about the Five-Fold Ministries, which I now see as a key to building the church 

to maturity 

I replied 

Torben ,

Since my conversion in 1972 and prior these things stick out as stepping stones forward 

1963 ground breaking meeting about baptism in the Spirit , Fairfield Hall Croydon.

Morris Cerullo , Selwyn Hughes , Michael Harper , launch of Fountain Trust 

1971 Jean Darnall instruction to prophetic lighting of torches ....the old communication system via tops of hills but starting from London and radiating out ....which indeed happened with the start of baotised in the Spirit house churches 

Jesus Move among teens and young 20s

Teaching on praise Internationally - Mervyn and Merla , Ed Miller , Merlin Carrothers books , Jorge Pradas churches out of Argentina 

Mid 70s Bible weeks on victorious church 

Discipleship Move which was still too pyramid like secularism 

Sam Fife , GH Warnock Third Feast Revelation 

1985 Norman Grubb Yes I Am about the total replacement at the Cross . The key to the liberated life . Romans 6 to 8

So in about 20 to 30 years from GHWarnocks 1951 Third Feast Booklet we went from legacy church structure of basically a rabbi synagogue towards the foundations we need for ecclesia , the sort of church that can handle City on a Hill like Jesus first church with 12 non jostling Joel 2 style elders. 

Our whole recent history has been solo empowered figures like yourself. 

But Keswick conferences , Morris Cerullos school of ministry , Fort Lauderdale that went wrong , is a heads up towards the 14 ministry types in Pauls 3 lists and taking saints through the 1 John 2 3 stages of growth .

Jorge Pradas and Watchman Nee introduced life centric Bible and prayer training houses . I was in one from 1978 to 1984 , with many breakthroughs plus big unsolved problems , like me . Then God showed me how Genesis 3 lying platform works as a delusion .

Going into our inner room 

Plus 

Learning the training of 1 Corinthians 12 meetings and 3 DIVERSES .....plus learning to read one anothers frequency of personality......

Is how small functional 'tabernacles ' or ecclesia of local pillars and ground of truth are raised up , which can hold open heaven in a place, like Jerusalem . Its a bit death defying because by then all the forces of hell ard trying to break it up or persecute it out of the region as we saw in Acts .

So in 50 years we now see glimpses of something starting to look a bit more permanent than conferences lasting a few days .
