30 years – Our anniversary!<\/h4><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n
\n

“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. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

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.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

Initiative<\/h4>

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. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n

Innovation<\/h4>

We have repeatedly 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. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

Empathy<\/h4>

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) <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n

Our core values<\/h3>\n

Driven by hope<\/h2>\n

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.<\/p>\n

What creativity God reveals throughout the history of faith in ever new movements that follow the example of Jesus!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
