2024

Within "Uftritt," we distributed the working hours among the team. Everyone contributed: the videographer (Christian), the copywriter (Tamara), the graphic designer (Jeffrey), and myself.

Our big goal is to make the entire appearance of Youngstars International more professional. We were able to create a lot last year.

With a mix of hope and expectation, we wrote to over 150 churches, accompanied by carefully formulated cover letters and detailed financial brochures. I received a delightful response from Andreas Maurer, the person in charge of the Reformed Church Dürnten. He is currently in talks with Cosmin to open new paths in Armenia and plans to financially support YI.

We have realized that we can only act in trust in God and that He is the one who opens doors. It was a year full of challenges, but also full of blessings and divine guidance.

2025

Optimistically, I have set myself the goal of presenting our work in 10 communities this year. Out of about 20 inquiries to communities, I received only rejections. "We already have enough projects," was the common response. Thanks to Markus Sigrist, I was able to present the project for the first time in his community "Brennpunkt" in Uri, with the aim of honoring God. The subsequent response was enriching and appreciative. Praise the Lord!

Various other events, such as youth group meetings and prayer meetings, have partially arisen. People should find joy in honoring God with this work.
