As you know, or now know, I serve in the Berlin International Christian Church.

In a day and age when many are losing hope, our church is a beacon of light—bringing hope, purpose, love, and practical help to those in deepest need.

After many years of a life of pain, mental health issues, a broken household, and false hope, I found true hope in the truth of the Bible. I began to study the Bible with the brothers at the Berlin International Christian Church and I learned the truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ and found true hope, true love, and real purpose for my life. Now I am happier than I have ever been!

I will be running a 5 Kilometer race to raise money for the church’s Special Missions. This money will fund the programs that continuously bring hope to many!

God has used the church to reach many lost and hopeless souls just like He did with me.

These are the things that define our mission: to offer hope, healing, purpose, and most importantly, salvation through the Word of God.

Our church exists to bring hope to the hurting, to restore dignity to the broken, and to guide lives through the practical wisdom of the Bible. We serve through community outreach, mentorship, counseling, and spiritual teaching that transforms lives through the Word of God.

Your support will help us:

• Expand outreach efforts into underserved communities.

• Offer support and counseling to those struggling with life challenges.

• Provide practical help to people dealing with mental health issues of all severity levels.

• Provide care to families in crisis, the elderly, and orphans.

• Keep our church space open for study, worship, and healing.

• Train volunteers and leaders to reach more lives with hope.

• Fund a place for people who are in need of hope to study the Bible.

If we reach our financial goal, we will be able to positively impact 500+ lives!

Will you stand with us to bring hope to more lives? Every donation—big or small—makes an eternal difference.

Give today, and help us shine light where it’s needed most.

Thank you for believing in our mission. Together, we can bring lasting hope to those who need it most—one life at a time.

If you have any questions, please ask! :)
