Chris Köhl, *1991, from the Hohenlohe region in the northeast of Baden-Württemberg (Schrozberg/Rot am See).
Supported and sent out by: Globe Mission e.V., Ekklesia Rot am See and Aktive Junge Christen e.V.
Motivated by my living relationship with Jesus Christ, I want to share the love of God in a very concrete and practical way.
I am thrilled to see people draw concrete hope, come to know Jesus Christ and experience real freedom and acceptance.
How ingenious it is when such people take their lives into their own hands, actively assume responsibility, and then they themselves positively shape and advance their surroundings and fellow human beings.
Lebensmission is a Christian association that has been doing social missionary work in Gonaïves in northwestern Haiti since 1975.
Lebensmission’s mission is to create opportunities for Haitians to live their lives in social security, dignity and self-determination.
Here, our work primarily reaches children and young people, giving them access to education and a perspective on life in a country marked by many difficulties.
Gonaïves is located in northwestern Haiti, directly on the Caribbean coast, and is a rapidly growing poor city with a population of about 400,000. Even in Haiti, the poorest country in the western hemisphere, Gonaïves and the area around it stand out once again. Here it is clearly drier, more barren and somehow even poorer than in most areas of Haiti. It is precisely in this area and its population that the Life Mission has an impact.
Our work in Haiti is administratively supported and guided by a volunteer board and the German Life Mission office in Landau in the Palatinate.
Operational management on site in cooperation with local director, support and leadership of our 35 local staff, supervision, public relations, cooperation with German office and board in Germany, pitching in wherever needed.
