Newsletter - January 2025

Dear Friends,

A big hug from Switzerland & Germany!

I wish you all a new year full of surprises, blessings, beautiful gifts and fulfilled dreams from God for each one of you.

It is a great joy for me to enjoy your friendship, words of encouragement and faithful support.

Outreach Teams

At the end of September we had the visit of an outreach team from YWAM Cartagena who were visiting us for two weeks. Together with them we had the opportunity to support the food distribution ministry DAN, the pro-life campaigns of the NCF church, the House of Prayer HOP, the evangelistic ministry Netzwerk Basel, the ELIM ministry and the children's ministry of the Baptist church in Lörrach. In October we had a visit from a mission team from Guatemala who were also visiting some local ministries and churches.

Worship & Evangelism support

On a regular basis I am supporting the worship teams of the FEG church and the Baptist church in Lörrach. I also lead a worship team of the Alban Arbeit church and on some occasions I have supported one of the worship teams in my church Oikos in Basel. I also continue to support the Living Hope Church in Weil am Rhein on their worship nights. As much as possible, I support the evangelistic ministries Netzwerk Basel and Netzwerk Lörrach. I have a heart for the local church and for me it is a joy to serve Jesus together with them.

Leadership Meetings

From October 7-10, YWAM leaders from our European area gathered in Maastricht to worship God together, listen to international reports, promote new projects, learn together and strengthen relationships. Then from October 28-29, the conveners of the Swiss-German YWAM region gathered in Davos for our second annual retreat. It was an enriching time in the presence of God, sharing ideas, projects and new initiatives for our region.

Praise Camp

From December 28th to January 1st, as Swiss-German YWAM, we were part of the Praise Camp in Basel, the largest Christian youth event held every two years in Switzerland. 7000 young participants from all over Switzerland and other countries like Germany gathered to have an encounter with God and share the Good News in Basel! About 700 of us went out every afternoon to do street evangelism in creative ways. It was a beautiful event full of joy, faith, hope and a desire to consecrate ourselves for God's purposes with this generation!

Next Travels

In the month of February I am planning to be part of three important events:

Our European YWAM leaders meeting in Tirana, Albania.

A fundraising workshop at YWAM Heidebeek in the Netherlands.

The next global gathering of the JC2033 movement.

I ask for your prayers for financial provision from God.

I will need about 1500 CHF to be able to participate in these special meetings.

Invitation to be part of my Support Team

As a volunteer missionary it is an honor to serve God in the nations and to be supported in prayer and finances by my friends, family and church. During these two years back in Europe I have seen many miracles from God and I am thankful for all your support, words of encouragement and for your financial investment in my ministry. God bless you greatly!

In the last few months my monthly support has decreased and my financial responsibilities in Germany have increased. That is why I am praying for 12 new monthly supporters of 50 CHF. If you would like to be one of them, here are some ways you could do it:
