Sister Annie's Bio

Born in Norway in 1911, Sister Annie had always wanted to become a nurse to serve those in need since childhood. Therefore she enrolled herself into a nursing school right after finishing secondary education. In 1932 she was baptized and formally became a member of the church. Through spiritual disciplines Sister Annie realized that God’s calling for her was spreading the Gospel in Mainland China. She subsequently started her missionary training at the China Inland Mission in London.

Sister Annie spent more than 20 years to serve the patients and to evangelize in Hong Kong and Mainland China. Under her leadership, the Haven of Hope established a Tuberculosis Sanatorium, a Children Preventorium, and a Nursing School to cater for the medical and social needs of the local community. Until 1978, Sister Annie was officially retired and returned to Norway.
