Hey friend! My name is Gunnar, I’m from Germany, and I currently serve as a full-time missionary with the Emmanuel Community in Germany.
In 2009, I served as a Regnum Christi Co-Worker in California. I’ve also been involved with Life Teen in both Germany and Atlanta, and I lived in Vienna, Austria, where I studied International Business, Theology, and Church Music.
In 2018, I received a call to serve as a lay missionary. Since then, my heart has been on fire for the renewal of the Church in Germany—through prayer, community, and music.
For the past six years, I’ve been working with a Catholic church plant called Emmanuel House Münster. Through the gift of music, I seek to lead people into deeper prayer and a personal encounter with God.
Moving forward, I will serve in a dual role: as music director in a Catholic parish and as a digital missionary, producing music videos to promote contemporary Catholic worship music. I’ve already built a small online following of a few thousand people—and I hope to reach many more. Listeners often tell me that my music helps them to pray, and some choirs have even learned new songs thanks to my recordings.
Seventy-five percent of my work will be funded by the Archdiocese of Cologne. For the remaining 25%, I’m seeking mission sponsors—people who want to help me create music for God and reignite hearts in the German Church with the fire of Jesus.
Gunnar
