Elias Aslaksen

Being an active Christian, Aslaksen had plans to travel to China as missionary, and studied for a short period at a Bible School in England.

In later years, Aslaksen travelled to Denmark, Germany, Finland, the Netherlands and England where churches were also established.

Although Aslaksen's main focus was his work for the church, he made significant contributions to society in general.

In a broader sense, this led to a definition of Christian values that included both duty and loyalty to the society in which one lives.

Sigurd Bratlie became the leader of Brunstad Christian Church after Aslaksen's death.
