† Kjell Olsen

One of the “greats” on the South African Church scene, Kjell Olsen, passed away this morning on a visit to India. Chief Mangosuthu Buthelezi paid his respects at the home today. Much lauded, sometimes controversial, Kjell had been the sidekick of the famous missionary Erlo Stegen. He said about the mission: “We do exactly what our name suggests: we help.” I e-mailed Kjell just last night, concerning a promising student. I took this photo of him on 21 April 2016.
