Evangelist

 I'm  a travelling evangelist, teacher and pastor. Yes, I’m been working full time in God’s harvest field since November 1985. I have ministered nationally and internationally as well.

    Hely- the Woman of my life !
    We got married in 1982

 I came to Christ on October 24, 1980 during a wonderful time of revival in Finland. Very soon after my conversion I received a life-transforming baptism of the Holy Spirit  in a prayer meeting at the Kankaanpää Pentecostal Church. I was an art student at that time. Then in June 1982 I married the most beautiful girl in the world.  A year later I attended a Bible Collage.

 I started as an evangelist five years after my conversion . Soon two years later I went to a Mission Home of Larsmo (Language school) for few months to improve my knowledge of English. Then I served over a year in a small congregation. The whole 1990’s I was a travelling Evangelist.  It was precious time to learn how God provides everything what is needed. Needless to say: I am still learning!

As a young evangelist in the early 1990s.

As the doors were opened wide to East Europe, I did several mission trips to former Soviet Union and Latvia, a Baltic state, preaching and teaching in local churches. That was great time! I did two trips to England also.  From 2006 to 2008 I was an associate pastor in Evijärvi and then from June 2008 to October 2010 I was pastoring a Pentecostal Church in Lappajärvi (the town where I was actually born). I took over the pastorage of Vimpeli Pentecostal Church in November 2013. After two and half years I started traveling ministry again in June 2016.
