It will come as a surprise…
This site is dedicated to awakening the Church to the coming persecution and helping believers create a movement of disciples who will stand firm in difficult times.
Torben and his family came to the US and applied for asylum in early 2019 because of religious persecution in Denmark, their home country.
The treatment they received in America was a complete surprise.
On June 30, 2022, Torben was asked to attend an interview with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to “discuss his immigration status,” but instead of being interviewed, shockingly, he was detained.
After 412 days in jail, Torben was deported.
Persecution in the ‘land of the free.’

“Like Sitting in the Cell with Him—A Book That Will Change How You See Persecution”
I was truly amazed by Torben’s transparency and vulnerability in this book, written while he was imprisoned. Reading each chapter feels as if you are right there in the cell with him. The words and insights he received from God in such a dark place are incredible—not to mention the way God used him, as many were born again, delivered, and discipled in the Word of God.
This book will challenge you, inspire you, and prepare you for the persecution that is coming. There is no doubt it was written for such a time as this. Every follower of Christ needs to read it.
Torben’s raw and candid account of being locked up as a “terrorist” in an American prison is shocking. As an avid reader (with a double major in English and History) and a believer, I have read many Christian biographies, missionary stories, and classic works. This stands out as a book for our generation and the modern church.
It is a MUST-READ. We have already given several copies to friends and family. Please read and share—it is clear that God wants to use this book to equip us for what is coming!
Statement of Congressman

A message to the church
When Torben experienced the persecution in Denmark, it came as a surprise. And it happened very fast. When he left Denmark and was on the way to America, he felt strongly God spoke: Persecution is coming to America, but my people are not ready. I have sent you to America to prepare my people for what is coming.”
412 Days is the story. The Kingdom Book is the teaching. Together, they're the whole journey.
Coming October 2026
“Written during Torben's 412 days in jail, this book takes you from Eden to Eden revealing the gospel of the Kingdom from Genesis to Revelation.”
The Kingdom School
Welcome to the free online Kingdom School. This is based on the same teaching God gave Torben during his time in prison—a teaching he shared daily with new disciples and one that ultimately set him free, even while he was still behind bars.
Sadly, the Church has lost its focus on the Kingdom and what it means that one day the Kingdom of God will fully come.
In this first lesson, Torben takes you from the beginning in the Garden of Eden to the new beginning in the New Heaven and New Earth.
The Church
What you’ll find here is the fruit of God’s transformative work in Torben Søndergaard’s life during his 412 days in prison.
Over the past 20 years, Torben has witnessed tens of thousands of lives transformed as a movement of disciples has spread throughout the world. Now, God has called him to work with the Church—helping it become a strong disciple-making movement that will stand firm in times of persecution.
We are excited to share a new series with you:
