The JFI-financial team says a sincere “THANK YOU”, to all who have supported the supraregional level of the Jesus-Freaks-movement financially in the last year.

The heartcoreband Obadja has broken up, according to a statement by Dominik, Julian and Robby, (you can read about this on the Obadja-hompage) because band member Frede has joined the Wort+Geist-movement (word-and-spirit-movement). On the Obadja-Myspace-page Frede confirms the breakup. The new album will be released despite this development because the songs were recorded before the breakup.

The deaconry team, which is part of the new leadership team for Jesus Freaks Germany has been elected on May 23rd 2009 at the Willo Freak in Borgentreich by all regional and section leaders present. The deaconry team consists of a managing-committee and an overview team, called Ü-Team [overview team, in German - Übersichtsteam]. They have been initiated and blessed together with the rest of the leadership team made up of the regional and section leaders. So the new leadership team does not only consist of three people, as it used to, but about 35 people.

After 15 years in the leadership of the Jesus Freaks movement, Mirko Sander has solemnly been released from his office. The participants of Willo Freak blessed him good-bye and wished him very well for the future. Martin Dreyer, founder of the movement, honoured Sander as an enduring and very creative leader with a great talent for organisation. In return for his work, some members of the movement handed him a voucher for a visit to his favourite distillery in England. To get there from the airport, he will be granted to drive a rented Jaguar – an old dream of his.
