The Apostolic Team

Approved leaders from various churches and areas of Switzerland had decided to work together. The small team consists of apostles, prophets, evangelists, teachers and pastors  church planters, counsellors, researchers, strategists, coordinators and administrators.  

Goal: The Expansion of God's Kingdom

The Kingdom of God is the Kingship of Jesus Christ which is evident in the salvation of mankind, the planting of churches, healing, deliverance and community development. We want to serve this goal.

Strategy: Release of apostolic key people …

Jesus was sent by God to bring the gospel of the Kingdom to a dying world. Apostles are key people sent by God to bring the Kingdom of God to unreached people groups and areas. They plant ‘kingdom families’, people who live in covenant relationships according to the principles of the Kingdom of God, bearing fruit und multiplying. We call such communities ‘organic churches’. Besides planting churches the responsibility of an apostle is to find, train and release new apostolic people until an apostolic movement develops. 

… who will start church planting movements

People need to be won to Christ and discipled. Organic churches serve the discipling process well because they are small communities where people share their lives together and are focussed on multiplication. As a result they plant new self-multiplying churches. These are churches which will plant new churches which will plant churches, etc.  thus producing growth leading to a discipleship- and church planting movement. In that way we can obey Jesus’ command to disciple all nations.  

Work in 4 cultural areas: Eastern Europe, India, Islamic nations, Europe

These areas had been relatively resistant to the gospel. We experienced how Eastern Europe had opened to the gospel. At the moment there is a tremendous move of God happening in North- and Central India. And now breakthroughs are happening in Islamic areas. We believe that Jesus is now standing at the doorstep of Europe. Presently we support church planting work in North- and Central India (which has grown to over 20’000 house churches since 1997);  Kyrgistan & Kaukasus region (since 2003 training of church planters).

Since 1994 we have been working in Egypt, Bulgaria, Ural, Pakistan, Sudan, Israel, Italy, Spain, Switzerland and among Uigur, Tatar, Bashkir & Afghan peoples.
