DIRECTOR OF TENT SOUTH AFRICA & RESOURCE MANAGER TENT INT.

"Let's do it!" is probably my most used phrase. The key is in planning and resource management for project needs. When God is my co-worker, I marvel at how He prepares and connects people across countries and years. I believe that it is by God's design that I am often in that moment when it all aligns and we can collaborate to complete a project.

An interesting fact about my family is that we are the most social, antisocial family alive; despite claiming not to like people, we always have visitors.

Steinar Opheim

CEO TENT INTERNATIONAL

While in high school, I felt God’s calling to bring the gospel to places where few people know Jesus. This calling has followed me my entire life. First, I was allowed to live it out as a young athlete. Later, my wife and I went to work in Central Asia. While there, we received the call to start Tent as a resource centre for professionals, businesspeople, and students. I firmly believe these are key groups God will use to make the gospel known worldwide.

I am still an athlete by heart and enjoy running in the Norwegian mountains.
