Joshua and Nina Blessitt

Acts 13:47 For so the Lord has commanded us, saying, "I have set You to be a light of the nations, for salvation to the end of the earth."

Isaiah 49:6 And He said, It is but a little thing that You should be My servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to bring back the preserved ones of Israel; I will also give You for a light to the nations, to be My salvation to the end of the earth.

Greetings in the Lord,

Nina and I have been following the call of God to share the gospel of Jesus Christ our entire 11 years of marriage. It has led us through many different fields of ministry and to regions we had never dreamed on reaching.

In churches or on road sides, preaching to large numbers or sitting alone with a homeless person.
Being received by welcoming smiles or being stricken by blows of anger.

By being pastors or carrying the cross.

In all theses situations and many more we have held fast to the Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ that all who call upon the name of Jesus will be saved.

We have wept and shouted hallelujah.
We have mourned and had joy.
We have heard words of vengeance but forgiveness reigns.
In times when it looks like the road is ending, faith makes a new way.

Now is a time for awakening, a time for refreshing, a time to go.
Jeremiah 33:3 “Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty
things, which you do not know.'
At the age of 10 I was called by God to carry a large wooden cross beside my father, Arthur, as a witness and testimony that Jesus Christ lives. I began to accompany my father on cross walking trips around the world, taking me to all 7 continents and over 70 countries. At the age of 12 as young cross walker I began to preach and speak at many youth events and churches sharing the good news of Jesus.

At 18 I continued to follow the call on my life and attended Rhema Bible Training Center in Johannesburg, South Africa. After successfully completing 2 years of Bible training, in 1992 I returned to the United States where I served the Lord in street evangelism, speaking at youth events and carrying the cross.

In December 1993, I married Nina, a lovely Norwegian girl I met at Bible school in South Africa. Nina and I moved to Trondheim, Norway in 1995 where now live. We have a wonderful 4 year old son, Gabriel.

Since moving to Trondheim in May 1995, I have been a youth leader, given evangelism training courses, carried the cross together with large teams, and led evangelism teams to many cities and nations. Nina and I lived as full time evangelists from 1997 — 2001 carrying a 12-foot cross sharing Jesus to all they met.

In January 2000 I was employed as Director of Students at Trondheim Bible and Missions school (T.B.M.). In January 2002 became Executive Pastor at Betel Church Trondheim. Nina completed her education as an early childhood teacher and has a bachelor's degree in art. She has worked in kindergartens and at a Christian rehabilitation farm for drug and alcohol abuse in addition to sharing the message of Jesus Christ.

We will be continue to live in Trondheim, Norway

THE VISION

Bless — It Ministry is:
An evangelism and missions work that will greet each person with the life and the personality of Christ and loving them regardless of position, color or creed.
Just as Jesus met and ministered to the average person in the streets, country side or in the synagogues (churches) we desire to reflect that same passion and love for people and meeting needs, both spiritually and physically.
We want to build a stable relationship with individuals and communities giving room for the average person to find his or her place in serving the Living God.

The ministries primary focus is to reveal the true Christ. The Jesus who performed miracles, who healed the sick and set people free. The Jesus who washed the feet of His disciples and loved those who hated Him. The Jesus who came in the form of a man but was the Son of God, who died and rose again to give abundant and eternal life to all those who repent for the remission of Sin.

The evangelistic work shall see people where they are and presents the message of Jesus based upon Biblical principles.

Jesus spoke often of His call and mission for God, training His disciples to carry on His work when He was gone. Following in the foot steps of Jesus we want to work in cooperation with evangelism, starting and building new works and discipling new believers and future leaders for achieving the goal to save and transform into the image of Christ.
The workers will be excited, enthusiastic and giving.
They will invest their time in God's work in Europe and to the ends of the world.

GOALS:

Bless — it Ministries goals are to establish new works and to support local Christians in Europe and internationally with evangelism, evangelism training, evangelistic cross marches, evangelistic crusades, youth work, youth events, Bible teaching, Bible training centers, discipleship courses and church planting.
Bless — It Ministries has as a goal to help local churches and build platforms for the next generation of leaders being raised up for Christian work world-wide.

HOW CAN BLESS — IT MINISTRY HELP MY CHURCH?

1. Preaching ministry:
Joshua is an enthusiastic preacher who speaks directly to whom those he is preaching. He has many years of experience preaching in and outside the church.
Joshua exhorts and up-lifts the spirits as he shares and has a unique quality to speak to and reach the unsaved. He is gifted in calling out those who have a call to share the Gospel and encourage the church in general by sharing a simple message of great impact. Joshua's messages generally focus on the redemptive power of the cross and following in the steps of Jesus.

2. Youth Ministry:
From a young age Joshua has spoken to youth throughout the world and given a message full of principles for life. Teens and young adults speak a special language and Joshua's free spirited and bold approach gets right to the heart, wakes and shakes them into action for Christ. Joshua has and is mentoring many young adults for ministry after 5 years working together with them at Trondheim Bible and Mission school.

3. Bible teaching:
As Director of Students at Trondheim Bible and Mission school Joshua has developed his ability to share his knowledge of the word of God and Christian lifestyle. He taught extensive courses in Books of John, Book of Hebrews, Angels and Demons, Life in Ministry 1 & 2, Sex — Relationship and Marriage, The Life of Christ, The Blood Covenant, The New Creation, Evangelism Training and more.

4. Evangelism \ Missions:
This is Joshua's call and perhaps his strongest gift. He can help formulate a plan for evangelism for your church, evangelism training, evangelistic crusades or events local or world-wide and Joshua is even willing to make a commitment to local churches that wish to have continued visits and follow-up for strategic evangelism and mission work.
