Dear friends of our work,

We are delighted to present you with a new edition of our newsletter today – packed with inspiring ideas and exciting insights into what God is doing around the world!

Young Voices, Strong Perspectives: Our Essay Competition

We are particularly proud of the results of our essay competition, which we organized in collaboration with students from the Hermannsburg University of Applied Sciences for Intercultural Theology (FIT). Young Christians impressively explored questions of global justice, mission, and faith in everyday life based on the biblical "I am..." words of Jesus. The contributions are profound, surprising, and encouraging – a testament to how alive the missionary mandate is in the next generation!

In Focus: The Central African Republic

Another contribution we would like to particularly recommend is dedicated to our often overlooked partner church in the Central African Republic – a country full of challenges, but also full of hope. Pastor Rachel Doumbaye was elected as the first woman to serve as vice president of the church.

Our new podcast is here!

We would also like to draw your attention to our podcast and the new episodes, which you can now find every two weeks on our website. The new episodes are dedicated to a particularly important topic today: peace work, and you will find exciting perspectives on the topic of war and peace.

Listen now, read along, and pray along – we thank you for being part of this movement.

Best regards,
Ulrich Meyer-Höllings
