He was the son of a business manager, Gustaf Envall, and Bertha Svedberg.
He then returned to Sweden and served as the vicar in the parish of Foss in Bohuslän. Despite agreeing on organisation and stewardship in general, disagreements arose upon the form of church government for the proposed national church. While the Swedish mission and the Tamil Lutherans was partial to an episcopal polity, it was not accepted by the representatives of the American mission who felt that the local Chinese Lutherans would not be familiar with that form of government.
Envall retired and returned to Sweden in 1977 where he stayed until his death on 23 November 2011.
