MEC Cooperation with Dienste für Menschen
On Sunday May 27 NEC hosted in church two groups of visitors from Germany. Anselm Kreh, who was a coworker at the Schneller School some years ago, brought a group of 19 people from churches in the diocese of Württemberg on a tour of Lebanon. In church Anselm and other members of the group shared some meditations, piano music and prayers. The second group was made up of two people from the organization Dienste für Menschen (DfM), one of the largest ministries for elderly people belonging to the Church of Württemberg. Mr. Frank El-Banani and Ms Christina Kuhn were guests of Moadieh Evangelical Center (MEC) from 25 to 29 May. In Church Mr El-Banani greeted our congregation in the name of his organization. On Monday 28 a Memorandum of Understanding was signed by MEC and DfM to promote future cooperation between the two ministries for elderly people.
Mienste für Menschen aims for comprehensive care, assisted living, sustainability and spiritual welfare. They have in total 21 facilities in the federal states of Baden-Württemberg, Bavaria and Saxony. In our Moadieh Evangelical Center we always aim to serve better.
