Steinar Opheim - Director of TENT Norway lived with his family in Azerbaijan doing development work and micro enterprise projects. He is educated as a journalist and writes a weekly column for a daily newspaper in Norway. In 2000 the Opheim family returned to Norway to start a national tentmaking organization called TENT, which means fire in Norwegian.

TENT works with mission agencies, churches and individuals to promote tentmaking and runs seminars and courses. GLOBAL Opportunities was invited by TENT to help run the first TENTmaking course in 2002 and today it is the only such course in Europe held annually in the spring.

 Steinar, his wife Birgit and their five children live in Bergen, one of the most beautiful cities in Europe. He is available to speak throughout Europe and beyond, and is very effective at running one day tentmaking seminars.

"Steinar's passion for tentmaking comes through loud and clear in his teaching. We recommend him highly to speak at conferences and churches" - GLOBAL Opportunities

"When people ask me to recommend a speaker on tentmaking for their event, my first choice is always Steinar.
His presentations are clear and focused, he will make you laugh, he will challenge you and his warm personality will make you glad you came"
- Ari Rocklin
