Highlight 4: 1986 Jesus Christ became my Lord and SaviourFor 42 years I have been a “church-christian“ – until somebody asked me, if I knew Jesus? This question led me to consider, what my belief really was about – The answer was a clear statement to start a relationship with God and Jesus based on biblical principles.The process still takes place, and it is really a challenge and an adventure each day….„„

Highlight 5: journey to Israel 1993If you want to understand the Bible you will not find a better place than Israel. The “book“ comes to life there; as far as your heart and mind is open to God, He will speak to you there…

These words of a good friend came true during this 3 weeks trip through fruitful land, deserts and hills…
