Evi’s Blog
I was 23 years old when I wrote down my personal mission statement. This has guided me ever since, though of course there has been some adaptation and tuning.
You can find some inspiration on these topics in my blog posts but also in the various teaching sessions I have done on “The art of pain in leadership”, event management, leadership etc.
Warum sind Events für junge Menschen so wichtig?
Events haben seit Kindheit einen großen Einfluss auf meinen Glauben gehabt. An Events habe ich Entscheidungen für Gott getroffen, die bis heute gehalten haben. Deshalb liebe ich Events und organisiere sie gerne mit. Unter anderem das Christival für Mai 2022. Für...
Buchverlosung: Nach Hause kommen – 12 Wege, Gott im Alltag zu begegnen
Gott begegnen geht auf vielfältige Art und Weise. Warum nutzen wir eigentlich immer nur dieselben Wege? Schon vor Jahren hat mich das Buch "Neun Wege, Gott zu lieben" begeistert, denn es gibt nicht nur den einen Weg. Manche wollten mir erzählen, es geht nur über die...
Learning to treasure the wilderness
We live in challenging times and some of us go through challenging times. I am sure most of us wish to be like leaders of the tribe of Issachar. You have never heard of them? There are not too many verses about them in the Bible but one of them is key, also for us...

Passionate about building community
How to build community in Covid-19 times? Looking back at 2020 and how the world has been dramatically affected by COVID-19, there is one word I will take into 2021 and it is “community”. In many positive ways, community has stepped in and helped people affected by...
I signed my first ever book contract
As if all the festive activities around my 50th birthday did not already catapult me to the moon while also launching my new organisation LeadNow e.V. a few days ago, I have also this week signed my first book contract. I will be writing in German and the book will be...
Let’s GO
RUN the RACE!
… and never give up!
Running the race and finishing well in leadership is a challenge. The Apostle Paul encourages young Timothy in the Bible (2 Tim 2:4) writing, “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.” To finish the race, we need other people to cheer us on and walk the often painful journey of leadership with us. Some statistics say that more than 60% of leaders are no longer in leadership by the time they retire. This is not a great statistic! The biggest breaking point for leaders seems to occur between the age of 35-45 years old. I love to help leaders last in this. I have experienced my own share of pain in leadership and therefore understand some of the challenges, also as a woman in leadership.
Join me on this journey of running the race well! There are times I am limping more than I am running but together we can make it.
theologian
I love the Word of God and learning how to apply this to my own life as well as seeking ways to apply this to our society, culture, events etc. I am not a theoretical person, so theology always needs to work for me. Right now I am in the process of doing my PhD in theology, dept. Missiology (analyzing event impact on spirituality)
event manager
I love events and seeing them bear long-lasting outcomes. I am involved in various events run by other organisations and also head up some with my own team. I also train other event organisers across Europe and the globe in a year round mentoring program.
Mentor
Journeying with people through life and seeing them discover and fulfill their God-given potential gives me much joy.

What gets me out of bed?
I love people. People give me energy. People let me fly. People are who I want to invest into.
I am particularly passionate about young people. Young people, their leaders, and also younger leaders. People who are still discovering who they are and what their purpose in life is. People who dream wild dreams and go after them. People who dare to step out in faith and have courage where others would rather stay at home.
With my own organization Lead Now e.V. and the various other Christian youth organisations and church networks I am involved with, I invest most of my time into encouraging, equipping and connecting younger leaders and youth leaders. I have a special focus on Europe (also having done my MA with a focus on European Mission) but also work globally. There is nothing more thrilling for me than doing this – and it does get me out of bed every morning!
encouraging
I love to encourage and see other people fly.
equipping
Through resources equipping people in their walk of life and leadership.
Investing
Where possible go deep with people and explore their calling.

I love Poppies
Well, I guess you must have assumed so
as they shine bright and red on my website. 🙂
If I would have to choose my favourite flower,
poppies would be in the top category.
Why?
Because they always grow best in a team
and love to collaborate with corn flowers and wheat.
You can see their colour from afar and insects are attracted to them.
Next to shining bright and lighten the mood,
they also are into multiplication
and their seeds can be used for various purposes.
