Vår historia
Stenbräckas Historia
Efs, Evangeliska fosterlandsstiftelsen, which is an intra-church revival movement, started its activities on Tjurkö in the 1890s. It was then Kristianstad's tractate society that hired preachers who visited different places through so-called. monthly trips. All places, including Tjurkö, would be visited by a colporteur for meetings, home visits and literature sales. The business started on Tjurkö in 1891. A mission association was formed in 1926 with 37 members and a mission house was built and was ready for use in 1928.

There were already thoughts of building a youth center in Jämjö, but now those visions were moved out to the mission house on Tjurkö. The one who saw these possibilities was the circuit preacher Bertil Olsson. In 1961, an “Efs ungdomsgårds-förening” was formed, which began the transformation that resulted in a camp farm. A barrack from Osbyholm is transferred free of charge to the farm (now Norrebo). A now toilet building is being erected when the old one has burned down.
