I must say that God is going to transform Burundi.

So I think we are creating like a wave of people from below, who are given new skills,

ability to create wealth, to train others, to help those who are poor and needy. Well welcome everybody this is

Simon Gilbo with Inspired and this week I have my tallest friend he is six foot six or two

meters his name's Arna Salta from Norway greetings Anna hello Simon good to have from you

it's fantastic to have you.

And Arna is a banker and I asked him for some suggested questions to him and one of his questions that he said through was,

why would you interview a boring banker? So, I'm really hoping that you're not too boring.

In fact, I know you're not boring and I'm really excited about what you've got to share

about Hauga microfinance and we'll get more into that in due course. But first of all, well,

I mean, I think through you, obviously I've met a number of other Norwegians, but before that,

the only Norwegians I've ever met were sort of dancing in a street in Bangkok, Thailand.

So, you know, we Brits and Bangkok, Thailand. So, you know,

we Brits and I suppose a lot of, you know, people listening in America and stuff don't know much

about Norway. Give us a bit of context to your upbringing, your background. And yeah, just be good

to hear some of the earlier story. Yeah, Norwegians are famous for our drinking and partying. So

I was at that level also once. But things

changed when I met the Lord. So you want to know the background? Yeah, just a bit of your

younger story, you know, from as you as you grew up, what are the key moments?

I think my key moment to be boring was actually when I was saved.

I was quite a naughty boy.

And then someone, a friend invited me to a Christian camp.
