Sven Hinderaker is a Professor Emeritus at the University of Bergen in Norway.
When did you trust Christ?
I grew up in a Christian household and have trusted Christ since childhood. I grew up partly in Tanzania where my father was a missionary doctor.
What have been the defining moments of your Christian walk?
I can’t think of a specific defining moment, but growing in the knowledge of God, group Bible studies, and going to Bible school have been very influential.
What do you hope to gain from participating?
As a former missionary doctor, I like to keep updated on the current status of the Evangelical church. I also look forward to having good discussions with colleagues and fellow believers, learning current strategies, and meeting and supporting colleagues and friends.
What is your ministry?
I was a former missionary doctor at a rural hospital in Tanzania in the 1990s. I have been a professor of global health, teaching medical students and other health-related students at bachelor’s, master’s, and PhD levels. I am now retired and emeritus.
What is your leadership role or what were your past leadership roles?
I have supervised and taught international MPhil students in International Health and was a missionary doctor.
Why should someone invest in your ministry?
I believe ministry is for life, and I can still contribute to the Kingdom, even though I am retired. I can be a source of wisdom for younger leaders and continue to spread the Good News.
