Regional Facilitator: Switzerland and Austria

I was born in Winterthur, Switzerland 18th June 1963 and have a younger brother. I grew up in the reformed church and got saved and baptized as a teenager in a group outside that church. In 1982 I joined the church I am still part of. I ministered with Royal Rangers till I did training with YWAM in Hong Kong in 1990 for 2 years. When I came back I started leading Worship which I did until now. I enjoy being in God’s presence and see him move.

In 1993 I got married to Esther. 1994 we got a son, Joel, and 1996 a daughter, Anita, who we cherish both a lot.

I am a trained secondary school teacher and worked some 15 years as a teacher. Then I started to work with unemployed through coaching and facilitate training programs. Since the need grew of helping handicapped people to find jobs I was asked to step in. I still work part time in this area. I got further training in coaching and case management which help me with my job and in the ministry.

I got in touch with Sozo 2012 when Teresa and Dawna came to Switzerland to teach a Basic Seminar. It touched me how quick and efficient the tools work and that people hear for themselves directly from God. So I started training, but it took till 2015 when we were ready to get started in our church. 2016 we were released by Gero Herrendorf and became part of the Bethel Sozo Network.

His vision as Faciliator is more and more congregations will become part of the Sozo network and thus Sozo will become a strong element in the church landscape of Switzerland, Austria and South Tyrol. Because more and more Christians get Sozos, they become strong personalities who are rooted in the Father, the Son and Holy Spirit. They follow their God and expect Him to satisfy their needs and stop attaching themselves to people and expecting everything from them. I dream that every person in my region will have to drive no more than one hour to the nearest Sozo ministry and that the question will become normal: Don't you want to adress this issue in a Sozo?

The people who are saved, healed and delivered spread hope to broken people so that more and more people give their lives to God and become disciples with Sozo as an important tool in this process. The enemy is losing more and more power and so the Kingdom of God can increase greatly.

The network grows, more people are trained. The trainers grow in their responsibility for other teams and become Sub-RFs.
