Our understanding
Leadership makes visible what this house is about.
God remains at the centre.
Leadership does not begin with ideas, but with direction: we want to be a house where God is worshipped and people encounter Him.
People should grow.
We do not only want to make events possible, but to create spaces where understanding, character and relationships grow.
Community is carried together.
Responsibility thrives on trust, clarity and people who are ready to serve.
Our story
A journey that began with a call.
Before Gebetshaus became visible in Frankfurt, Alexander and Janaina’s story began in Brazil. They had built their lives there until God called them back to Germany through prophetic words and clear guidance.
What initially seemed hard to imagine was confirmed step by step. A small beginning grew from a yes to God’s leading: the first service took place in a living room. Since then, Gebetshaus has grown, but the heart has remained: God calls, people respond, and from that yes comes a place for prayer, growth and family.
The full story deserves its own page.
Brazil, prophetic words, the first service in a living room and the journey to today can all be told there in greater detail.
