Around 95 employees lead the Methodist work in the eastern countries of Central Europe and the Balkans.
In times of many economic and social problems (poverty, unemployment, migration), but also against the backdrop of increasing secularization, they are taking up the challenge of speaking about God's love - and living it.
This includes church services, pastoral care, media work and activities in schools. However, the promotion of ethnic minorities and support for people on the margins of society, addicts, prisoners and refugees are also important areas of the ministry.
The commitment of the employees inspires hope and does good far beyond the borders of the church. As the funds raised in the churches are not sufficient despite great efforts, Connexio hope makes a contribution to cover the costs of these employees' salaries.
The solidarity contributions guarantee a broad spectrum of church services and secure the leadership of the churches in the eastern regions of Central Europe.
