Kay, born in Berlin, tried to find a meaningful life in different religions, before he found Jesus as his saviour in 1988.
Anne-Kathrin comes from a Christian background and decided to follow Jesus in 1988. In the same year she had her first vision about Africa. God always reminded her of this calling in her life, even though she experienced a massive spiritual crisis in between. She went to Berlin and there she experienced a new, even more intensive dedication to God. During this time she met Kay.
1997 Kay and Anne-Kathrin married and moved, on godly instructions, to Hameln, where they were mainly engaged in an evangelistic kids- and youth ministry, knowing that God would call them to Africa in his time.
In 2000 the time came to go to Kenya, to be prepared for a longer time of ministry in the Sudan. In January 2001 finally the time came!
In Kenya they first learned the national language Kishuaheli and helped in different street kids programs. Now they are enrolled in a Bible seminar near Nairobi to study for a masters degree which will help with the ministry in the south of the Sudan.
One of their main tasks in the past was to plant a church amongst Sudanese refugees in Uthiru, near Nairobi. Besides the church programme they are running a sewing class for single mothers and are offering private lessons for children unable to pay school fees. Another area of ministry is to educate and train Africans to become missionaries and then send them to countries like Sudan.
Trough doing this and sending and supporting Kenyan missionaries they were able to plant a church deep in South Sudan (Wau). Through mercy ministries like feeding programmes for the poor, teaching street children about hygienic and a lot of other offers of help a strong work could be established. A building is still missing but plans are in preparation. During a famine in 2006 700 families could be fed through providing transportations of meals. Besides the practical the church provided a lot of spiritual help. A lot of healing could be testified and also other miracles of God.
