When Se og Hør met with the participants of this year’s “Farmen” shortly before they entered the farm, Thor Haavik, 26, from Bergen, was able to tell that he had been trained as a priest shortly before.
– I want to have deep and close friendships, and appear with integrity and as Jesus said about his expectations for the competition.
Haavik also wanted to promote the Christian message and hoped that the other participants would be open to have a good night of blessing at the television farm.
– Being blessed is a nice thing, he said.
During the first two weeks of this year’s “The Farm” season, viewers have witnessed several bedside blessings, where, among others, construction worker Raymond Røskeland (36) struggled to hold back tears. when they prayed for him.

– a great moment
And on Sunday’s episode of the show, Haavik goes back to using his profession on the farm. West Coast boy Kjetil Kirk (27) says his parents wanted him to choose even though he wanted to be baptized and be a part of the church, something he is now ready for.
– Thor, that’s something I’ve been thinking about. When I was little I was never baptized, so I thought I’d hear if you have the authority and desire to get baptized here at “The Farm,” asks Kirk in the episode.

At the farm, Haavik prepares everything for a memorable baptism for the 27-year-old, with the audience, patrons and church bells. You can also say that you usually spend eight hours planning a worship service and eight hours writing a sermon.
– I think this is a great moment for the Church and for Jesus, says the priest before the baptism takes place.
Kirk is baptized in the lake surrounding the farm in a moving moment with the other participants testifying.
– By definition I have taken the step in the world of Christians, I will not say that I feel the great change, except that I have been washed by a series of sins. I think it could have been nice, he says after the big moment.

– What do you think of turning a Christian act like this into television entertainment?
– I myself have not seen this on television, but I am absolutely sure that it will do it in a pleasant way, and that it gives that action the dignity and calm that it should be. And then I think people who look and don’t get baptized think that they might want to get baptized too. It’s obviously not too late, even if you’re an adult, Halvor Nordhaug, bishop of the diocese of Bjørgvin, with which the “Farmen” participant is affiliated, tells VG.
Thunder against “The Farm” -Geir Magne
– A challenge
Before entering the farm, Thor Haavik knew that religion had been the basis of the discussion in “The Farm.”
– There are some challenges that I face now. I put myself in a situation where I run the risk of misleading myself and damaging the Christian message, because I really believe that it can be done. I hope not, he explained, and continued:
– I am clearly committed to the faith and I have a winning character. I think it is important to be true and it is very important to have social antennas. I have to interpret the signals in people.
