About me...

Most of the people would describe me as totally extreme in both ways - introverted and extroverted - or let me say: A choleric melancholic type of person. I'm able to adapt myself to different situations and people getting the best out of everything and everyone. This is what I've learned over the last seven years: Stepping out from a very shy, passionless, religious and anxious person into an open-minded young women with BIG DREAMS and VISION....dreams of serving people in different ways in order to MEET THEIR NEEDS.

Church.Media

One of those dreams is the work with NEW MEDIA within my church in Vienna. I believe with all of my heart that the church has to fit in into our postmodern world putting together every strength and power to meet the needs of our community....and one of those needs is to make church relevant for people! With visualizing God's diversity I wanna bring LIFE into church wether it is through videoclips, news, broadcasting our service through the internet or promo-videos. We also film and edit seminars and conferences, musicals or even weddings at our church.
Another branch of the media department is to serve people with sermon cd's, sermon series, a free of charge sermon download on our website (www.jesuszentrum.at) and a web shop in order to help them strengthen their spiritual life or to just give away a good message to friends in whatever area they have a need.

Church.Coffee

But that's not all! I have so many more dreams of meeting the needs of our community. One of them is to go OUT OF THE CHURCH and offer a place for people to chat, to work, to read, to listen great music, to meet great people, to celebrate or to play games ... in ONE PLACE ... with the best cup of coffee they've ever drunk. Where could that be? In the most friendly, open-hearted, comfortable coffee store of Vienna: The "Coffee Dream House" (Don't know the right name yet. Was just an idea). It's exciting to show people GOD'S LOVE through Coffee, Cake and good music in a real practical way!

<--- This picture shows me at one of my coffee seminars at Starbucks - my favorite coffee store - introducing people to the world of Starbucks-Coffee and of course making a coffee tasting. I can remember... after 8 hours tasting coffee with them I felt like being on drugs ... as you can see! ;0)

Church.Fitness

In our society today wellness, health and fitness are one of the most used catchwords wether on TV, on products or in the newspaper. The consequences are that this health-movement started out to be more a body modification than ever before. The outward looking is the most important thing for people and they would do everything to look still young, fit and dynamical, which isn't bad in itself, but there is more in life than to be fit outwardly. To be fit in BODY, SOUL AND SPIRIT is the way to a fulfilled life! My dream is to have a fitness center for people who are longing for a triple health (body, soul and spirit) with a fitness area, a resting place with good christian music, books, healthy drinks etc. and a place to offer christian seminars & events on fitness and health.

WHEN YOU GIVE TO HELP PEOPLE; YOUR GIFT MAY LEAVE YOUR HAND, BUT IT WILL NEVER LEAVE YOUR LIFE............................................................................
I loooove to give. I love to make people smile and happy through a gift. I like to find out what the very special need of a person is and then surprise her or him ... just to show how big God's love is who cares even for little things in life.
What if we all would do that? Putting God's Word into action with giving to needy people? ------REVIVAL!!!------

Christian.Library

What would it be like to have a christian library in Vienna? To help people growing spiritually with the right book available for them? To find literature for every situation, every question, every need people have? And to serve everybody with an outstanding contingent of various genres people are interested in? What would it be like if christians don't need to worry anymore if they can afford a book they really would like to read or a sermon they really would like to listen or even a film they would like to watch? AND THIS IS MY DREAM: Having a library filled with christian literature and media to serve the needs of people in different areas.....with an excellent cup of coffe ... that's for sure!
