Winning The Prayer War

Kjell Sjöberg was born in Stockholm, Sweden in 1933, the eldest son of six children. His father and grandfather were both Pentecostal ministers. It was at the age of 18 that he came into a first-hand experience of God through faith in Jesus Christ. Six months later he started to preach. At the age of 23 he planted his first church in Sweden. In 1961 he went to Pakistan with his wife Lena, and together they worked there for 11 years, planting churches and starting the Full Gospel Bible School in Lahore. After returning to Sweden in 1972, he started a church that in ten years grew to 650 members in Järfälla, a suburb of Stockholm. For ten years he was a leader of Intercessors for Sweden. Since 1983 he has ministered in many countries on all the continents, teaching about prayer and spiritual warfare and working with prayer movements praying for cities and nations. He has written a number of books, including The Prophetic Church (1982), Enthusiasm (1984), and Spiritual Vikings (1985). During his brief periods at home he lives at Bro, near Stockholm, where he is able to share his family life with Lena and with their son, his wife and the five grandchildren who live nearby.
