MISSION PARTNER DEVELOPMENT

What is MPD?

God’s very nature is to give Himself entirely in love—and He invites us to follow His example. This is the heart of MPD (Mission Partner Development.) Together, we share what He has first entrusted to us. One person offers their ideas, talents, and time to labor in the Lord’s vineyard. Another supports this mission through prayer, encouragement, and financial giving. In other words, one brings five loaves, another two fish—and Jesus feeds the five thousand (cf. John 6:1–15). Quite simple, isn’t it?

My path
When my wife Valerie and I chose the given Bible verse as a motto for our marriage, we had no idea that God would softly knock at my door a couple of years later to invite me to quit my teaching job and join the crew in his vineyard. Did I want to? Somehow I did – after all, my heart was burning for him. But should I? Of course I should, even though it all felt like jumping in at the deep end or even like jumping into an empty pool. But He has given us a promise: “Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be given you besides.” (Matthew 6, 33) So, let’s go!

My vision
I am ready for a real trend reversal in our society! I am ready for people in our country and beyond to experience that God has come to give them a life in abundance and that they don’t have to fear the future, that their marriages don’t need to fail, that they wouldn’t need to take antidepressants. I want to offer my help so that they can find their purpose in life, so that they can become the best versions of themselves and so that they can inspire others to follow suit. This is my hope. This is my vision. This is my dream.

My Journey

Since 2016, I have been blessed to call the young and growing community of the Zentrum Johannes Paul II my spiritual home.
For five of those years, I served as the leader of the Music Ministry. During that time, I discovered that my greatest passion lies in personally accompanying others and in composing music – music that has always been a reflection of my prayer life.

In the past year, God gave me a new certainty in my heart: I don’t have to finance my life through my music. He will fully provide for me if I serve Him and His Church through my music and devotion.

With my „yes“ to this invitation, a new chapter in my life begins—one that is shaped by a promise that has accompanied me for years:
“We know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.” (Romans 8:28) By surrendering to His plan, I place my full trust in Him and begin my service in His vineyard with deep gratitude. He knows my desires, my story, and He is Lord over all my dreams.

My Vision

I dream of using my music and my life to help build up the Kingdom of God on earth through the Church. In prayer, in the reception of the sacraments, and in music, I want to listen closely to what Christ is saying to me. I want to take time to honor Him and accompany others, giving them space to encounter God.

My mission field will be wherever the Holy Spirit leads me:
prayer, composing, producing and recording music, accompanying other musicians and parishes, and serving the Church with artistic, musical, and pastoral offerings—that is my mission.

My great desire is to cultivate fertile ground for Christian musicians who also feel called to serve God and His Church with their music. Through collaborations with Christian artists – photographers, videographers, music producers, visual artists – I want to build a network that responds to God’s love and brings it into the world.
