Who we are
We grew up in the south of Germany. We both gave our lives to Jesus at the age of 21. After completing our education, we attended the same theological seminary. There, in 1994, we decided to walk our life's journey together. Since then we have been travelling together in the mission field. In 2007 we were sent out as a family to South Africa where we are still working today, meanwhile without our children.
Communicating hope and perspective
Our work is multifaceted. Starting with home visits, accompanying converts and home groups in townships, we are keen to motivate Christians to visit and get to know their Muslim neighbours. Many Christians are reluctant to socialise with Muslims for a variety of reasons. Yet here in the Cape it is very easy and naturally possible, as Christianity and Islam are closely interwoven in many spheres, including the family network. Practical training courses in churches, home groups and Bible schools are intended to help overcome fear and clarify questions about faith. Another focus is on supporting and equipping pastors in African countries who only have limited access to specialised literature, computers and the internet. Here, the desire for training was increasingly expressed, especially in relation to the church's dealings with Islam.

From Cape Town to Cairo
Over the past 16 years of our ministry, many doors have opened in various African countries. In cooperation with ‘Africa Missions’ and other organisations. Many local Christians have been equipped and encouraged through the seminars. They are active in spreading the gospel and strengthening their churches through growth.
Psalm 63:1 (NIV)
You, God, are my God, earnestly I seek you; I thirst for you, my whole being longs for you, in a dry and parched land where there is no water.
