Wow, thank you so much. Thank you. Oh, please be seated. You're too kind. I haven't said anything yet.

I am so honored so humbled and so excited to be here with you for this day and for the conference that is about to happen and you know at this wonderful

amazing church that has impacted the lives of hundreds of thousands myself

included all over the world so thank you so much for having me.

Thank you to Pastor Robert and the whole pastoral staff

for believing in me and trusting me to share the word with you this morning.

Well, as you heard, my name is Joachim, and I'm fully aware that that's a very hard name to pronounce

in English.

So, but let me just give you an idea.

Imagine a rapper would greet the North Korean dictator.

Yo Kim, that's...

That will get you in the vicinity of it it or you can just kind of do the easy thing and

call me pastor you're welcome and and I will say thank you and and there we go. I'm very

happy to be here today with my beautiful wife Maria, would you stand up honey?

We've been married, best friends and road companions for 32 years now.

God has blessed us with two amazing daughters, Evelina 29 and Julia 26,

both involved in the ministry and serving the Lord. and Julia got married five years ago and now she has two boys so that makes

me a grandfather and it's a bit funny and ironically from a biblical point of view

because the one with a hair that's Zion and the one with absolutely no hair

whatsoever that's Samson.

So.

And as you heard, we are serving the Lord by pasturing our church that we love so much called World Life in Sweden.
