Our personal experience has shown us that Jesus meets every person with love, acceptance and his gift of hope. It thrills us to see them take steps forward or even turn their whole life around as a result!
It is important for us never to lose sight of the individual and at the same time to work strategically and sustainably. That’s why teamwork and networking with other organisations and projects is crucial in everything we do.
We initiate, we break open new ground and we build together – always with the goal of eventually not being needed. Because success for us means that local people have been strengthened and empowered in God to independently make a difference in their lives and in their environment!
