Two of us got into conversation with a Jewish family. The topic was the word \u2018Ruach\u2019 \u2013 a Hebrew word that means \u2018spirit,\u2019 \u201cwind\u201d or \u2018breath\u2019 in the Bible. It describes the living power of God that gives life, moves and renews (Genesis 1:2). Already in the creation account, we encounter the Ruach of God <\/em>hovering over the waters. Our prayer is that people today may also recognise God in the beauty of creation. The family was delighted that we were familiar with the Old Testament, and a valuable exchange about this common foundation ensued. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n

This conversation began a few hours earlier: after a relaxing summer break, during which many of us were able to recharge our batteries \u2013 some completely relaxed, others busy at camps or BNE Rome \u2013 we started the late summer season full of anticipation as the MSD team. Exciting changes and new projects await, which you will read more about in upcoming blog posts. <\/p>\n\n

To kick things off, we met for one of our Team E6<\/strong> events. For us, Team E6<\/em> means consciously spending time together every two months to grow in faith, encourage one another, learn new things and be active together in God's kingdom. This time, the focus was on exercise<\/strong> \u2013 practising, training and taking courageous steps. <\/p>\n\n

Our destination: the beautiful Blausee, known for its bright blue colour and popular with tourists from all over the world. In teams of two, we set off to welcome people to Switzerland in person. Equipped with maps from amazingplace.ch <\/g>and the message \u2018Welcome to Switzerland\u2019, we quickly struck up conversations. Some encounters were deep and personal, others quite straightforward \u2013 about the beauty of Switzerland or travel experiences. <\/p>\n\n

We were particularly delighted to meet Chinese families this year. In their homeland, it is often more difficult to talk openly about God, which made these encounters all the more precious. We pray that the seeds sown on this day will sprout in many hearts and that people will discover a personal relationship with God. <\/p>\n\n

Once again, we saw that it is worth taking the step to approach people.<\/strong> Every glance, every smile, every conversation can convey a little bit of hope \u2013 and that is exactly why we want to be out and about.<\/p>\n\n

Tip:<\/strong> Do you have a holiday flat or a lot of contact with tourists? Then we recommend our Amazingplace postcard. This way, you can welcome your holiday guests to Switzerland \u2013 and spread a valuable message at the same time. <\/p>\n\n

\"Seit 1962 entwickeln sich die Change Camps stetig weiter. Sie verbinden tiefe Gemeinschaft, starke Gotteserfahrungen und das Eintauchen in andere Kulturen. Durch kreative Outreaches mit Sport, praktischen Eins\u00e4tzen, Worship und Prayer Walks wachsen wir in einen evangelistischen Lebensstil. Unsere Vision ist, Jesus in verschiedenen Nationen bekannt zu machen und Jugendliche f\u00fcr ein Leben zu begeistern, das Gott ehrt. Wir wollen lokale Kirchen unterst\u00fctzen und ein Segen f\u00fcr Menschen vor Ort sein. Ein Change Camp soll das Leben der Teilnehmenden nachhaltig ver\u00e4ndern, ihr Herz neu f\u00fcr Gott entfachen und sie mit Leidenschaft f\u00fcr Mitmenschen, Regionen und Nationen erf\u00fcllen \u2013 damit sie diese Begeisterung auch in ihren Alltag tragen.\"<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
