Jørn Strand
Jørn Strand is a Norwegian televangelist and tent revival evangelist. He is associated with Pentecostalism and the charismatic movement.[1]
Evangelism[edit]
Strand grew up in a non-religious home. He was previously a drug addict for ten years until he had a radical conversion to Christianity in 1991 which included speaking in tongues and being filled with the Holy Spirit.[1][2] He soon began travelling around to evangelise, and founded the organisation Evangeliet For Alle in 1993.[3]
He evangelises with street meetings and hosts tent meetings with up to two thousand attendants.[4][5] He emphasises being filled with the Holy Spirit in contrast to simply being born-again and interprets people speaking in tongues at his meetings.[1]
Strand formerly evangelised on the Christian television station Visjon Norge. Since 2020 he has been broadcast on the Christian television station Kanal 10.[6]
In 2019 he started a Bible school in Froland.[7]
