Stein leads the work of Ellel Ministries in Sweden. He was born in Norway in 1960. As a preschool teacher, he worked in kindergarten for 16 years, where his heart was to get to know the unique personality of each child, not trying to mould everybody into the same shape. In 2000 he came to a crossroads in his life, realizing that God had something new for him.
God led him to take the NETS school, after which he started working with Ellel Norway as ministry manager as well as teaching in both Norway and Sweden. In September 2012, he took on the role of leader of Ellel Sweden. Stein has a vision for reaching out to all the Nordic countries with the Kingdom teaching and principles that Ellel Ministries is bringing. He loves to spend time walking in the woods or mountains. In the winter, cross country skiing is his favorite activity.
