  • House Church
    Since 1999, we are part of a network of House Churches that is expressed in various groups. Once a month, we meet in our house for half a day of fellowship, worship, lots of coffee, prayer and food.
  • My family
    The ones I love
  • Friends around the World
    ... maybe you find yourself here. What a privilege to know all of you, honestly!

  • Vacation in France 2007
    We discovered the Canal du Midi. Did the trip from the Mediterranean to Toulouse in 3 days by bike.
  • The region I live in
    I feel so privileged to live in this part of the world. Its beauty still takes my breath after 30 years
  • Grandparents visiting us
    We never thought it would happen again, but they managed to visit us one more time. Granddad is 94!

Fedex Geography

americasmall.jpg My computer has safely arrived - in Johannesburg, South Africa. Some American specialist gave it the country code SZ for what he or she thought to be Switzerland, but this is Swaziland! Now some African can enjoy my computer:-) To all you Americans out there: SWITZERLAND is spelled CH!!!! Learn this, or you will be punished! CH stands for Confederatio Helvetica and means Swiss confederation. On the other hand: we are such a small country, and the USA are soooo big. How can anyone expect them to know this...
Another three days of waiting. At least, this gives me a free head for the conference tomorrow.

PS I love America, just in case....

  • Family pfingsten
    We are a family of 6 and live in Steffisburg near Thun (Switzerland) and Bern. My beautiful wife is Regula; the youngest son is Andrew, then Christina, the pretty young lady, followed by Markus the longest (with Martha his wife from Colombia) and Urs Michael the eldest (with his wife Emily from Jakarta). If you ever come by, do not forget to call and have a coffee (or more).
