The video presents the motivation of Ulf Ekman and his wife, Birgitta, to convert to Roman Catholicism. He announced their conversion to their protestant congregation on March 9, 2014, during his Sunday morning service.  Ekman stressed in his announcement.

“We have come in contact with representatives for millions of charismatic Catholics and we have seen their living faith. We needed to know the Catholic faith better. This led us to realize that it was actually Jesus Christ who led us to unite with the Catholic Church.”

 

Ekman founded Word of Life, a church in Uppsala, Sweden. The church had about 3,000 members and 12 pastors, and the church’s school had about 1,000 students. Ekman  launched Scandinavia’s largest Bible school, a media program on television recorded teachings to spread worldwide, and published books in 60 languages.
