Matthew Gamble is the lead pastor of The Haven Napa Valley on the campus of St. Helena Hospital (USA), the oldest Adventist Hospital in the world. He’s passionate about Jesus and His gift to live in you!

Marianne Kolkmann has worked as a dean, pas-tor, youth pastor, chaplain and youth director in Denmark, Norway and Sweden. She enjoys when God becomes real and important in people’s life and when she sees Jesus being less of just a ter-minology and more of an impact in our lives as Christians. She enjoys traveling and seeing new places, meeting new people, as well as exploring the unknown depths of life!

Karin Wieczorek has been a pastor for over 20 years and has a real passion for working with youth and teens. Encouraging people to read the Bible for themselves and developing a close personal relationship with Jesus is often the focus of her sermons. A Christian faith has to touch everyday life, and be practical and relevant. “I am a Christian because I love being with Jesus every day, not just because of the promise of eternal life”, she says. “I don’t mind eternity without pain or suffering though! But what I most look forward to is being with Jesus face to face.”

Kai Arasola is married (and survived) to a Dane, Ida Marie. Together they have three grown up children and 8 grandchildren. In the past Kai has worked as a pastor, conference president, theology teacher, dean and as an editor. Currently he is enjoying his life as an active pensioner. Last summer he joined as a mentor for the ShareHim Mexico international experience. He is a wanted and loved speaker for many youth events and camps.

Melissa Myklebust is working as a pastor in Nor-way. She particularly enjoys ministering to young people. Her greatest passion in ministry is seing young people get active in church and connected with God.
