Speakers
Patrick Fung
Since 2006, Patrick has exercised operational and spiritual leadership in his role as General Director. Both Patrick and Jennie have a deep understanding of the church in China. Their experience with indigenous mission movements brings exciting insights into God’s work in the Middle Kingdom.
Come and be encouraged by Patrick and Jennie and hear what God has to say about missions today!
Nergui Ch.
Get a glimpse of Nergui’s testimony as one of the first Mongolian Christian women to have lived and worked in China as well as her rich experience as a leader of a local mission movement in Asia.
Weltreise – an adventure
Before you know it, you’ll be in the middle of the action! Through actors and simple props, we transport you to other countries and let you experience the reality of, for example, refugees. You will be confronted with the darkness of this world and challenged to be a light.
Come along on this exciting, interactive and multifaceted journey through the world and experience different living conditions with all your senses. The Weltreise is in German and can be visited from the age of 13.
The Weltreise is offered three times, the places are limited. So sign up and book your spot!
We offer the Weltreise in cooperation with OM Switzerland. You can find more information about OM and the Weltreise on the OM homepage (Link).
