I grew up in Sweden in a
christian family and accepted Christ as my Savior at the age of 9. Later
I became a Registered Nurse.
A scholarship in the US and a visit to relatives in Wisconsin brought
me to the USA. After additional study in North Carolina a period of
time was spent in Louisiana.
I was busy as a Registered
Nurse 20 years ago and for over 10 years had combined Nursing and teaching
Sunday School. Arriving in North Carolina after my time in Louisiana,
I enrolled in night classes at the Theological Seminary in the area,
and juggled a schedule divided between the hospital, home, and church.
One of my forefathers spent
his life as a pioneer missionary in China, one sister spent her life
in Chile as a missionary and one cousin spent his life in Africa as
a missionary. The
Research Triangle surely was a mission field with people from all over
the world.
When I discovered a newly
opened Christian TV station, it did not take long for me to sense that
a voice was needed outside the church and on the airways.Though
reluctant, after much prayer the TV program Good News for All Nations
was born in January of 1983. In later years my son, Robert, has been
hosting programs and ministers with music and song. Robert is a teacher
by profession and leads worship music in churches. He has also served
as a Youth Minister in local churches.
The Apostle Paul's speech
at Athens, on a missionary journey in Europe, was to become my guiding
light: "From one man He (God) made every nation of men, that they
should inhabit the whole earth. And He determined the times set for
them, and the exact places where they should live. God did this so that
men would seek Him, and perhaps reach out for Himand find Him, though
He is not far from each one of us." Acts 17:26-27
The weekly TV program Good
News for All Nations is seen on Cable TV in the Raleigh, NC area, on
Sky Angel satellite the Angel One channel, and also some programs are
sent to be uplinked on Hot Bird satellite from Kazakhstan reaching across
Asia, the Middle East, North Africa and Europe. I have taken mission
trips in Romania, Russia, South America and Europe.
