Donald Bergagård (born 13 February 1936 in Öckerö) is a Swedish singer, accordionist and evangelist.
In the late 1950s Bergagård was employed as a pastor in the Pentecostal congregation Elim in Örebro. After visiting Aage Samuelsen's Maran Ata meetings in Oslo in 1959, he resolved to spread the movement in Sweden, becoming one of the founders of the Maranata movement there.[1] He founded the first Swedish Maranata congregation in Örebro in 1960.[2]
He was one of the founders of Maran Ata in Oslo,Шаблон:Citation needed where he was also a pastor from 2001 to 2004.[3] Later that year, he moved to the United States.Шаблон:Citation needed
Bergagård wrote the Swedish text to the song Шаблон:Lang. The tune was written by Jack & Jim Elsie, under the original title I am going to a city, where the roses never fade.
In March 1963, Bergagård led a Maran Ata meeting in Jönköping where a 13-year-old boy with diabetes was prayed for. His parents withdrew his insulin shots; the boy died a week later, drawing media attention.[4][5]
