Can the global Church grow if there is no one sharing the Good News? Oftentimes, it takes encouragement from others to step into the life God has called us to live, and in Germany, it’s no different. My mission is to embolden Christians, especially those belonging to Mosaik Nord Church, to share Christ’s love with each other. With the support I offer, I hope to see improved stability, steadfastness, and multiplication within the local church in Frankfurt, that there might be a wider, larger-scale impact that is even experienced outside the walls of the church.

I work as a staff member in a unique German church, boasting more Middle Eastern members than German or any other culture, which makes for an interesting mix! I serve in many aspects including worship, mentorship, support for the pastors and their families, Sunday service behind the scenes help, administration, helping in building facility management, and cleaning. My main role, though, is leading our culturally diverse hospitality team. This team oversees the greeters and all food and drink related needs for our Sunday services. Our team’s main goal is to model and share Christ’s love with everyone we serve, helping to build-up God’s Kingdom here in Frankfurt.

God has prepared me for ministry in Germany in many ways, but most particularly through the spiritual giftings He has given me. With helps and hospitality, combined with the strengths of care, sympathy, empathy, and a big heart full of His love, I am equipped to serve and support with excellence.

Building a hospitality ministry within the church was a long and difficult season. In fact, many of our teams struggled to find enough people willing to serve; but over time, and with much prayer, God has called and positioned the right people to serve. Initially, some of the individuals who came alongside me had never considered serving in this way, claiming not to have the gift of hospitality; but through their willingness and God’s calling, they have seen that they not only could do this ministry, but that they are also gifted to do this ministry!

Watching the church members grow has been such a joy! I’ve witnessed their development especially through the friendships, leadership, and mentoring relationships that I have with them. Watching my pastors thrive and grow in their ministry to us as I relieve them of tasks that have burdened them, has also been gratifying. Seeing the work that God is doing through this local church and experiencing the blessing it is to be a part of it, is amazing!

Thank you for considering your partnership with the work God is doing in Frankfurt, Germany, and Europe! Without supporters and donors like you, I wouldn’t be here and able to share Christ’s love with a hurting people. When you partner with me, this becomes your mission too – you are directly involved in God’s work in Frankfurt, Germany! I thank you from the bottom of my heart for choosing this ministry and following God’s call to support what He is doing here!
