My name is John Koeshall together with my wife Kristen and our kids, we are missionaries to secular University students in Germany. 

Germany isn’t what you might call the classic mission field. Most folks are comfortably well off and steeples can been seen literally everywhere. And yet, it’s clearly a secular nation, with an aging Christian population and a post-Christian youth. The Guardian, a British newspaper, picks up on this phenomena and sites a study, which couldn’t find a single person under the age of 28 who believed in God in former communist East Germany.* Of course, there ARE Christians in that age bracket, and yet the study exposes how few there are. When we first began serving in Berlin, Germany, we were astounded to discover that of the 140,000 University students, there were only about 400 who identified themselves as Christian, a staggering 0.3% of the student population. 

Numbers give a big-picture view of this mission field, but even up close and personal you see the lostness on their faces. 

This is our mission: To plant a Students for Christ group in every University city of Germany, to disciple the believer, and to reach the pre-Christian. 

As a result… 

… we mentor student leaders from across Germany

… we with Studierende für Christus (Students for Christ - Germany)

… we plan biannual training conferences for student leaders from 13 different cities in Germany

… we provide Europe-wide training opportunities for missionaries and national workers.

And we LOVE what we do! God is reaching, training, and sending out students to be business leaders, teachers, missionaries,

Partner with us in prayer and/or giving, because only together can we fulfill the mission of God among students in Germany.
