General Information
I've been working with communication since 1977, when I started as grapchic designer. In 1980 I developed skills in communicating practical theology. I practised as a pastor of several churches before I was hired as journalist at a christian newspaper. Later I studied analytic journalism and became press coordinator for a network of 100 churches before I was hired as director of a new media company. Today I work as a freelance journalist, serving churches and relief organizations such as Mission East, Children's Mission, Hospice Forum Denmark, Kirkepartner and many more.
Mission and Objectives

My aim is to convey the good story about ordinary people making a difference and creating peace and lasting  change. The media is often focused on the immediate, the surprising, and the negative. The challenge is to convey the positive story og ladting change that really makes a posiive impact on ordinary people around the world.

Main Projects / Activities

Press releases and debate articles in Denmark and reports from investigative travels in East Arica and The Middle East.

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

I have a good network in the danish press. I can provide my expertise in writing. I speak swahili fluently and can translate, interview and connect to people from East Africa.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

I have a special interest in peacemaking and reconciliation between religious groups. I hope to learn a lot and make good friends and partnerships for the sake for peace and common understanding in Denmark, Europe, The Middle East, East Africa and the world.
