BOLD HOPE

October 30 – November 2, 2025
Karlsruhe, Germany

A warning in advance!
BOLD HOPE 25 will definitely be challenging.
Or what would you expect when we meet the one true God? He is the creative mastermind behind heaven and earth after all. And in the end he will put his seal of quality on each individual life, just so that his Son can put his on top?

Besides that, BOLD HOPE 25 stands on two verses from John 8.

³¹To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, ‘If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. ³²Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.’

With a deep analysis of the original text, gigantic worship, local specialities that you will bring from your region, and at that point when people don’t feel like strangers anymore, we will start Thursday Night.

Friday Morning and Friday Afternoon
We introduce Mark 12:29-31 as the most important question for every single day of your life and talk very personally with Jesus about the consequences. 

To translate those into every situation of your existence there will be many different workshops and you can choose completely different ones. For example: what happens when your car breaks down, how long, why and what you might want to fast for, your oral hygiene, the way you initiate prayer times with the beautiful creatures God has exclusively entrusted to you, your outstanding career, your protein intake and your news consumption, how much you have actually saved for your retirement, the next church you are starting, your slightly crooked halo, the painful reality of still living in a sinful world.

Friday Night, Saturday Morning and Saturday Night 
We take Acts 2, the entire chapter, as a blueprint for how you actually call who you guys are for each other, and what you do together throughout the week?

House church, team, spiritual family, “brother from another mother”, Navy SEALS?

That, of course, means that the Holy Spirit does what he does best, that we provide creative ideas regarding “apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer”, and explain why verse 44 definitely is not the same as communism.

We already mentioned the gigantic worship, didn’t we?

Saturday Afternoon
Probably you better start with a question, “Hi! What did the Almighty tell you today?” - this might not be the most appropriate beginning to preach on the tram. Or you could join the guys who give out Doner Kebab or just float with a more experienced evangelist.

But that the message of the Kingdom of God hitting the local hospital or the French countryside will change everything, and that Jesus wants you to share it will be the basic practice. 

Sunday Morning
The whole circle closes with Matthew  28:19-20, “All Power! Go! Teach! All Nations! Baptize! Everything I have commanded you!”, simply because we never want to let the goal out of our sight again.

And finally the new leadership team will bless everybody to really do it wherever we come from, in whatever profession we are active, however complicated our life situation might be. 

Two more very important remarks.

1. Kevin, Bärbel, Klaus, Leon, Fahid, Natascha, St. Ingbert, Precious, old warriors, newly baptized, or anyone who somehow almost coincidentally heard of what we do - bring them along.
2. Register yourself and all of them ASAP. That will help us in the preparation.
