  • 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!
  • Flowers in our garden
    ... through the lens of my Nikon D80
  • 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!

A new challenge

We cannot determine how old we get but how we get old. I started a 20% job at a large health hotel-clinic, organizing seminars in the health/fitness/tourism branch. Suddenly I find myself working with highly intelligent young business professionals - a challenge for my mature brain that has shrunk by x % since I was 20. I love it. I am amazed how visionary people are for temporary goals - and how efficient they work, compared to many Christian meetings and conferences I have attended.
Besides that, I still lead the European DAWN team, work on my doctoral thesis on Missional Church and lead a new Swiss team that works towards a Church Research Institute Switzerland.

    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).
