Key Ministries
- Migrants
We reach out to migrants living in Germany, many of whom come from least-reached countries. Our work includes practical support, relational outreach, and sharing the hope of the gospel. - International students
We connect with international students who are studying in Germany, offering hospitality, community, and opportunities to explore the Christian faith while away from their home cultures. - Church planting in unchurched areas
We focus on starting new churches in areas of Germany where there is little or no gospel witness, especially in urban centres and regions with historical spiritual decline. - Children’s outreach
We engage with children and young people through creative programmes, events and partnerships with local churches to plant seeds of faith early in life. - Workplace witness
We support believers in living out and sharing their faith in their places of work, offering training and encouragement to be a light in their professional environments.
Spiritual Landscape in Germany
Being a Christian and part of a church is just not cool anymore!
One million members left the traditional churches in 2024. Although everyone in Germany has access to the message of Jesus in one form or another, most people will not know someone who walks with Jesus.
On a personal level, many people have serious questions about life and need friends and neighbours to talk to.
Workers are needed who are willing to move to the less attractive parts of cities, adapt, live simply and share their whole lives. New forms of church, including house churches, are being explored.
More than five million people have a Muslim migrant background. Many from Persia and Afghanistan are finding new life in Jesus. At the grassroots, Catholics are accepting Jesus as their saviour and reading the Bible together.
Please pray
- For the growing team of international mission workers as they adapt to, and integrate
into, a very different life in Germany - For a team leader and new workers for the many ministry opportunities in the Ruhr region
- For the discipling of new believers among migrants and international students and their
integration into a fellowship - For good collaboration with our partner organisations in Switzerland and Europe
