My dear friend and brother in Christ, Thure Eriksen (1965-2025), was promoted to glory yesterday, after a battle with sickness since 2017.

He leaves behind his dear wife Ingfrid and beloved kids, Noah (18), Hannah (13), and Mathias (11).

Thure founded TX-Vikings, Norway in 2005, and led thousands to Christ through their muscleman shows in Europe and the Middle East.

There was no better man and friend than Thure. I will sincerely miss him, together with my wife Aina and our daughter Selma (4) who cried with us yesterday when we received the news. «But we will meet him again in heaven!» Selma said 🙏

The photo from last year shows how loving and kind Thure always was ❤️

Two weeks ago Thure called me for nine minutes while he was struggling with fatigue and pain. Always optimistic and brimming with plans.

We thank God for Thure’s blessed memory, and declare blessing over his family.

You have fought the good fight, you have finished the race, you have kept the faith, Thure! (1Timothy 4:7)✌️👑

We will meet again in heaven!
