TENT of Norway was founded in 2001 by a team of dedicated people, a strong board and effective former tentmaker, Steinar Opheim. Instead of figuring it out alone, they invited Global Opportunities to help them with resources and teachers for their courses.

An early indication of God’s favour was made evident when TENT was able to purchase a historical prayer house building right in downtown Bergen for one dollar. These historical prayer houses were built  using volunteer labor by everyday workers who needed a place to worship. Thus the location in the port area where most work activity took place in the early days of this prayer house movement.

Although the cost of the building was one dollar, the renovations that were needed were more than even the highest estimates. This being a historical building meant that the exterior could not be changed and had to remain original. The interior was completely redesigned with the addition of offices in the loft area and converting the open basement into a rental unit and kitchen. The general meeting room is large and bright, with excellent air circulation and comfortable seating. Wireless internet is available to all as well.
 

TENT is able to rent this facility when not being used for tentmaking events, which helps in making payments on the renovation costs. After the renovations loan is paid off, this income will go a long way toward adding much needed staff to this growing organization.

Why not join us for the next tentmaking business as mission course at this beautiful location? You will be housed for free in local Christians homes, all meals and snacks are included in the low course fee.

TENT is also looking for donations toward the renovation loan, if you are able to help or know someone with Norwegian genes who might want to support this work in a meaningful way, please contact Steinar Opheim directly by sending him an email at: steinar@tent.no
