Golf-A-Thon.

Liebe/r Leser/in,

dieses Kurz-Video ermöglicht einen phänomenalen Einblick in das von sportlichem Ehrgeiz geprägten Leben unseres Freundes und Pastors John Burns.
An seiner Seite und der seiner Frau Helen durften wir unser Jahr 2012 in Kanada lernen. Immer wieder aufs Neue sind wir von seiner Entschiedenheit, von seiner Lebenseinstellung, Weltanschauung und großen Vision mehr als beeindruckt.

Nehmt Euch die wenigen Minuten Zeit, schaltet die Lautsprecher an und lasst Euer Herz sprechen.

Bewegte Grüße schicken Euch

Rainer & Kerstin.

P.S.: Auf diesem Wege kannst Du aktiver Teil des 'großen Bildes' für andere Menschenleben werden.





Dear reader/s,

this short clip gives a fabulous glimpse into the life of our friend and Pastor John Burns, shaped by a sportive ambition.
We have had the privilege to learn from him and his wife Helen throughout the year of 2012.
Again and again, the two of us are more than impressed of his clear and bold decision making to realize unconventional vision, his way of life, his world of view and his big vision.

Take these few minutes, switch on your loudspeakers and let your heart speak.

Touched greetings from us to you send

Rainer & Kerstin.

P.S.: This is the way to drop your donation and become a real part of the big picture in the life for other people.

Gott sagte 'Nein'. | God said 'No'.

I asked God to take away my habit. 
God said, No. It is not for me to take away, but for you to give it up.

I asked God to make my handicapped child whole. 
God said, No. His spirit is whole, his body is only temporary.

I asked God to grant me patience. 
God said, No. Patience is a byproduct of tribulations; it isn't granted, it is learned.

I asked God to give me happiness. 
God said, No. I give you blessings; Happiness is up to you.

I asked God to spare me pain. 
God said, No. Suffering draws you apart from worldly cares and brings you closer to me.

I asked God to make my spirit grow. 
God said, No. You must grow on your own, but I will prune you to make you fruitful.

I asked God for all things that I might enjoy life. 
God said, No. I will give you life, so that you may enjoy all things.

I asked God to help me LOVE others, as much as He loves me. 
God said...Ahhhh, finally you have the idea.

10 Jahre. | 10 years.


Am 18. Juni 2015 feierten wir unseren 10. Hochzeitstag mit Freunden in Davos...
irgendwie fühlt sich unsere bisherige 'Ehe-Karriere' eher wie fünf Jahre an.
Unsere Trauung hat genau hier stattgefunden und lief in etwa so so ab.

Für uns ein wunderbarer Anlass, Gott als unserem Schöpfer und 
Erfinder der Ehe für jeden bisherigen Tag und Moment zu danken.
Gleichzeitig schätzen wir Menschen in unseren Leben wie z.B. unseren 
Freund und uns trauenden Pastor Adam mit seiner Frau Lindy Lamb
Freimut & Joanna Haverkamp, Tilo & Sabine Herz, 
John & Helen Burns und noch so viele weitere Freunde, 
sowie wertvolle Organisationen à la 

Unsere Ehe durfte einige Herausforderungen erfahren und überwinden - all' diese 
haben unseren Bund gestärkt und uns zu dem Team gemacht, das wir heute sind.

Erfreute, feiernde und ermutigende Grüße schicken Euch

Rainer & Kerstin.




On 18 June 2015 we had the privilege to celebrate our 10 year wedding anniversary 
with friends in Davos...somehow, our 'career of marriage' has rather felt like five years.
This is where we promised our vows to each other and the way it took place.

What a wonderful opportunity to thank God as our Creator and the inventor of 
marriage for every single day and moment we have had so far over all these 10 years.

At the same time, we value people in our lives like our friends Adam with his 
wife Lindy Lamb (who married us), Freimut & Joanna Haverkamp, 
Tilo & Sabine Herz, John & Helen Burns and so many 
more friends of ours, as well as crucial organizations like 
'Marriage Encounter' (German site) and 'Team F'.

Our marriage has been faced by certain challenges that have all been overcome so far - 
all of those has strengthened our threefold cord with Jesus and shaped us to become 
the team we are today.

Delighted, joyful, celebrating and encouraging greetings from

Rainer & Kerstin.
