Hello!

My name is Elisabeth.

I am married to Lars, and am the mother of 5 children. We have a great passion for serving Jesus Christ with our lives. For 23 years, we have been a family of priests and served several congregations. I have worked as a diaconal in the congregation and ran grief groups. As a nurse, I worked in the municipal health service at Østfold Central Hospital, then for a period at the Norwegian Radium Hospital with children and adolescents with cancer. Later, I worked as a specialist nurse in mental health and substance abuse at Østfold Hospital within psychiatry, treatment, rehabilitation, and in the emergency unit. I also enjoyed working in mental health in Marker and Vestby municipalities, as well as as a teacher in health subjects in adult education in Oslo. From 2015, I was employed as a subject teacher at the Evangeliesentret's own school, Østerbo High School in Halden.

The extended Godman family continues to grow. Our 5 adult children are well established and well spread across Norway. We are delighted to have 12 grandchildren, - in Eastern Norway and in the West, - in Stavanger and Bergen. We visit them as often as we can.

Vi er nå aktive og engasjerte pensjonister og reiser mellom mellom Gotland (Sverige), Danmark i sør og Norge. Vårt hus på Gotland, «Rute Missionshus» we have given to the Lord. Here we have Nordic gatherings with Christian friends for inspiration and equipment. "Worship Night at Godmans in Rute" are Saturday gatherings we have during the months we live in the house. We consciously work with good dialogue and cooperation with the established congregations on the island. In Denmark we have a network where we visit Aarhus, Thisted, Klitmøller and Copenhagen, among others.
