What happens when people from all over the world come together around one name – Jesus?
Then something extraordinary emerges. Not a simple sum of cultures, but a new dish. A new aroma. A taste of heaven.
Ten years ago, we began dreaming of a multicultural community.
What we received was more than that: an intercultural journey.
Living together, believing together, changing together.
Jesus doesn’t call us to comfort, but to community — to holy unity.
And that requires something from us: letting go. Opening up. Practicing.
But what you receive in return is profound — God’s manifold wisdom, made visible in people.
“Friend of the stranger.” That’s how the Bible describes true hospitality.
Not helping from a distance, but connecting heart to heart.
And when we sit at the table together — eating, singing, sharing — it sometimes truly feels like what John saw:
“A great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb.” (Rev. 7:9)
Are you courageous enough to step out of your bubble?
The Kingdom of God is colorful. Let’s practice — at the table, in the church, on the street.
