Dear Readers,
First of all, we wish you a happy and blessed New Year, always accompanied by God on all your paths. God is present—even where things feel unsteady. There is no way around Him in 2026 either. We do not want to walk our path without Him.
Our motto for the year is: “Do not be afraid. Just believe!” A sentence that stands in contrast to what we hear every day: “Be afraid—and don’t believe.”
And yet, this is exactly what we are called to do: to live according to this motto. Not because it is easy, but because faith is resistance—against fear, against resignation, against giving up inwardly.
We cannot do this on our own. That is why we need community. That is why we need worship—not as an obligation, but as a source of strength.
What this motto do
Kind regards,
Wolfram Laube
