The Harbakks Receive the King’s Silver Medals
Areopagos veterans Kari & Ernst Harbakk have both been awarded silver medals from the King of Norway for distinguished service in their careers, which have spanned four decades.
In Kari’s case, the medal was awarded on the basis of her pioneering and inventive social engagement in China, while Ernst received acknowledgement as as leading sinologist and someone who has contributed to shape the missionary effort in China.

The couple received the medals in a reception, which brought together a number of friends and network partners. Among these were also two of the Harbakks’ closest collaborators in Asia, director Daniel Yeung of the Institute of Sino-Christian Studies and project coordinator Li Enlin of Shincon/Amity Foundation.
As friends and colleagues in Areopagos, we would also like to extend warm congratulations to Kari & Ernst for this well-deserved honour.
