My favourite place in Copenhagen is the Churchill Park near the before mentioned Gefion Fountain at the harbour. Since my childhood, I have been fascinated by the courage of the young Danish soldier Anders Lassen in British service during the war. In the park adjacent to the former Freedom Museum is his bust.

He is a Christian teacher called “Praying Medic” as he learnt to pray for difficult cases as a first responder in emergencies. I recently took notes on his Saturday teaching. I like that he does teaching on both biblical matters and on how he sees the things happening politically […]
