How can you help us?
We can always use help! We are currently a relatively small congregation and have undertaken the Jesus-Haus project as a pure step of faith, depending on God all the way. He has been so faithful in sending us workers, finances and building materials in a variety of creative ways. The days here are full of activity, but we always love to take time with visitors and people interested in being part of what God is doing here.
For anyone wanting to join in with the work here, there are several options: Restoration Weeks, the H&B Program, the Come and See! Program, or the UNITE Program.
Restoration Weeks
"There's so much to do-- let's get at it!" is a saying, but we have an even better one: "There's so much to do-- let's pray!" Both have their place in the Restoration Weeks. The experience of working together in community during these weeks is so wonderful-- everyone should experience it!
If you are skilled in any of the following areas and have time and energy to invest in the Jesus-Haus project, please contact our building team:
- Tile laying
- Masonry
- Plastering
- Heating and plumbing installation
- Laminate flooring installation
- Dry walling
- Electrical wiring
- Painting (rooms/windows)
In addition to the planned Restoration Weeks, volunteers are welcome to come (with prior arrangement) at any time to help for a few days. We will gladly provide room and board for volunteers.

H&B
Harp & Broom is the summer intern program at Jesus-Haus Herrnhut. Come and join us for a season of helping to build the house of prayer (the harp) and serving in our hospitality department (the broom)!

Come and See!
If you would like to spend a month or longer "trying us out," then Come and See! Two to three people can always be integrated into the work here. (Registration is of course needed.) You can serve in our work departments and enter into our prayer house life according to your particular gifts and capabilities. Board and lodging are free for "Come and See" participants.
UNITE
We believe that God is calling long-term staff to the Jesus-Haus. In order for both sides (that is, for us and for the new workers) to have clarity and discernment, we have developed the Unite program.
