Ove and Ingalill Jensen Swedish farmers

Friday, June 5, 2015

Ove and Ingalill JensenIngalill, my wife and I were happy with our lives. We considered farming to be an exciting profession although Ingalill at times said, 'I think something is missing, but I don’t know what'. In 1960, we received an invitation to a New Year’s conference at Caux in Switzerland. Ingalill said, 'Perhaps we could find there what I think we’re missing.' We learned about the goal to rebuild the world and we were struck by the honest ways people related their experiences in life. One comment impressed us: 'If we want to change the world, we must begin with ourselves'. The four absolute standards of honesty, purity, unselfishness and love became guidelines for our lives.
