Initiative

Find new ways

On the road again and again for 29 years.

“Jesus wept” – this shortest sentence in the Bible reveals the incredible empathy and love that characterizes the heart of God. He seeks the lost, strives for the new and is always willing to take innovative paths in order to be with those who need help.

In a world that sometimes seems overwhelming, we want to use our core values of initiative, empathy and innovation to meet the challenges of young people and offer practical solutions.

Initiative

We don’t want to hide youth work behind church walls, but rather go where young people are to be found. That’s why we were one of the first movements in Germany to go to schools back in 2002, offering youth work there and building a bridge to the churches. In the midst of pupils’ lives – leading pupils into the midst of life.

Empathy

For us, spiritual action and preaching has always been expressed in projects that meet the concrete needs of young people. If someone is in need, then you have to help them in precisely this need. As the prophetic words of Isaiah put it: “Break bread for the hungry!” But even more importantly: “Let the hungry find your heart!” (Isaiah 58)

Innovation

We have always developed new formats and used the opportunities of the time to our advantage. We celebrated one of the first techno parties in a community and entire classes from a school attended. We went to schools as youth workers when everyone was still saying it was impossible. Digital media and communication were our second skin even before corona.

We believe that these three basic values also describe God’s actions in the world (only in part, of course): to seek what is lost and to keep breaking new ground.

What creativity God reveals throughout the history of faith in ever new movements that follow the example of Jesus!

Among Roma in Albania

Pais Deutschland e.V. supports the work of Kisha Mozaik among Roma in Albania through personal cooperation and donations.

In the new school year, we have helped to restart the afternoon school and are helping to make the community’s many projects among the Roma in Lushnje, Albania, possible, particularly through support with paperwork and fundraising.

Since the fall of 2024, the community has hosted 4 volunteers from Germany for 7 months and we naturally support the community with all our know-how about volunteer services.

Would you like to see what is possible when a community is full of initiative, empathy and innovation?

Empowering young people

We have used the Strengths Sieve to coach over 1200 teenagers and young adults in countless school classes, youth groups and one-to-one meetings to discover their own personal strengths.

And even though hardly anything can replace a personal conversation, we are currently working with Carico Coaching to develop a digital version of the strengths screen. So that we can also find a way to reach those who would never engage in a personal conversation or even go to a youth group.

Why not try them out, the coaching snacks on finding goals or the AI tool that allows you to discover three of your strengths at any time, free of charge and online.
