🎵 Finalizing the concert programs and repertoire
"A journey that began more than thirty years ago – and is still continuing."

Entering a New Stage of Preparation.
Plans for my Japan tour this autumn are now really starting to come together. Most of the concerts and visits have now been confirmed, and we are currently focusing on the remaining practical preparations before departure.
At the moment we are working on:
🎵 Finalizing the concert programs and repertoire
📖 Completing my new ministry flyer and concert materials
🤝 Continuing to work closely with organizers across Japan
🎹 Preparing for the Sweden–Japan Music Bridge concerts with Shinichiro Yamamoto and Saée Tahara
🛍️ Preparing CDs, artwork, and other materials to bring to Japan
🙏 Praying for every concert, every meeting, and everyone Patrik and I will have the privilege of meeting along the way
Each week another piece of the puzzle falls into place, and I am deeply grateful to see how God continues to open doors. It is a joy to share this journey with you, and Patrik and I are looking forward to everything that awaits us in Japan in October 2026.

Thank you for being part of the journey!

Both Japan and Sweden are facing significant challenges. Many people are living with fear and uncertainty about the future. My desire is to share the joy, hope, and love that have carried me through life with the people of Japan. This has been a calling deep in my heart for many years.
I cannot do this work on my own, and that is why I am asking for your help. Would you consider supporting my ministry and activities in Japan by becoming a monthly supporter or making a one-time gift?
I am deeply grateful for every gift and every prayer. Together, we can make this possible!
May God richly bless you! 🙏🌸

My desire is to continue building bridges between Sweden and Japan through music, relationships, and faith.
I don't simply want to travel to Japan to give concerts. I want to build lasting relationships with people, churches, musicians, and choirs. I want to encourage people of all ages and share the hope and joy that I have found through my faith in Jesus Christ.
I dream of seeing new partnerships grow, inspiring the next generation, and creating places where people can meet through music, fellowship, and hope.
This ministry is not about giving as many concerts as possible. It is about people—listening, encouraging, sharing life, and together sharing God's love.
I don't know exactly where this journey will lead, but I believe God is guiding each step. That's why I want to keep walking forward with open hands, an open heart, and great expectation for all that lies ahead.
People often ask me why I keep returning to Japan. The simple answer is that I love the country and its people. But it's also something much deeper than that.
When I first travelled to Japan, I had no idea that the journey would change my life. I went there to sing, but I received so much more than I could ever have imagined.
Over the years, I've met people who have become close friends. I've had the privilege of singing and speaking in churches, concert halls, schools and conferences. I've shared moments of joy and sorrow, laughter and tears. Time and time again, I've seen how music can open doors where words are sometimes not enough.
After more than thirty years, Japan feels almost like a second home. That's why my heart keeps drawing me back.
I believe that God opens doors when we dare to take steps of faith. Many of the most meaningful encounters in my life could never have been planned. They have grown out of relationships, trust, and a desire to serve others.
Today I find myself at the beginning of a new chapter!
For many years I travelled to Japan at the invitation of different organisers. Now I feel a calling to build something more long-term together with friends and partners. Not just individual concerts, but relationships that can continue to grow over time.
My vision is to keep sharing music, hope, and God's love with people in Japan. I want to encourage and inspire people, creating places where they feel seen, valued, and loved.
I also dream of working together with local musicians, choirs, and churches, encouraging the next generation, and seeing new friendships grow between Sweden and Japan.
This page is therefore more than a presentation of upcoming concerts. It's an invitation to follow the journey.
Here I will share updates about the preparations, introduce some of the people I meet, write about both joys and challenges, and tell the stories that shape the road ahead.
I would love for you to come along.
Through your prayers, your encouragement, or your support, you become part of this journey.
Thank you for being part of the journey.
