The major expansion of Oslofjord Convention Center has not gone unnoticed, and the fact that hundreds of BCC members have put their names on future suite leasing contracts is no secret. Occasionally, one hears allegations that the church mixes business and religion at Brunstad, but despise that, we meet a family who is more than willing to invest in the future here.

In a quiet residential area outside Stathelle in Telemark, family Tombre Nilsen are busy getting back to daily life after a long summer holiday. Two adults and five children between 7 and 14 years of age live here.

Helene and Erling work respectively as accountant and General Manager in two different businesses. With five children enjoying a variety of sports and other interests, they have, like many parents, a very busy schedule. The family is one of many that have invested in an apartment at the Oslofjord Convention Center project at Brunstad, where they travel several times a year.
