Jurgen was trained and has worked as a bread-baker. Through the testimony and efforts of his first employer he has embraced Christ Jesus as his Lord. After our oldest daughter was born he became a homemaker until he started studying Theology & Mission in 2011. He is preparing himself for our missionary work through his studies, reading and various courses. In his spare time he maintains his website on defending the faith.

Katja has helped her mother in her flower shop from a young age. During her Law Study she worked at a bailiff’s office. After graduation she became a lawyer in 2002. Since Jurgen started his Theology Study she took his place as a homemaker and started home educating the children, also in preparation for conditions on the mission field. Now, on the field, she is still the children’s teacher which gives us great flexibility. She loves being there for her family. As a passtime she enjoys being in the outdoors and reading.

Vanya is our oldest child (2004). She loves to read and play music on her flute and violin.

Issa (2006) likes to have adventures. He often sets out on long hikes. Besides that he loves to help repair the car or motorbike.

Abbey is our third child (2008). She is the creative one. Give her some tape, glue and paper and you’ll end up with fantastic creations.

Dani (2011) is a real trooper. He loves to walk around barefoot through the ricefields and woods. He can be busy like that all day long in order to return home with a bag full of berries.

Simeon is our youngest (2015). He is the lucky one as he gets all the attention of his siblings. Simeon is a smart boy and very easy going. Without much trouble he switches between the rural and urban life and between the spoken languages.
