May Her Memory Always Be a Blessing 🖤
On July 13, 2025, our beloved Ursula – Harald’s mother – passed away peacefully. A long life that was a blessing to many has come to a gentle and painless end. Now she is reunited with her beloved Kurt, with whom she walked side by side through life for over five decades, and from whom she took leave nine years ago with the words: “Until we meet again in heaven, my dearest.” And she is now with her Heavenly Father, of whom we deeply believe that He has welcomed her with the crown of life – for she remained faithful until the very end. Until her final days, it was also her heartfelt mission to support Israeli orphans. We will carry on this precious legacy with love and gratitude. May her memory forever be a blessing.
A Life Change – My Name is Chaya 🌟
From May 6th on, the Hebrew name Chaya (meaning “life”) is my official first name. It stands for a new life that began for me after a near-death experience in November 2022, through which I came to know God with an intensity I had never experienced before. It was also a time when my bond with Israel grew ever deeper. I felt that I was no longer the same person I used to be. One year after this life-changing turning point, a new direction in my life had become clearly perceptible. In 2023, I began writing and publishing articles about Israel, our website “ARC to Israel” went live, and I gave my first lecture on Israel – while, after the Hamas massacre on October 7th, waves of antisemitism and hatred kept rising ever higher around the world. The Bible shows us several examples of people receiving a new name after significant changes in their lives. Even though I certainly do not compare myself to these personalities, I still find the thought inspiring. And I wanted to accomplish two things: firstly, to express my gratitude to God for this turning point in my life, and secondly, to make my belonging to Israel visible – for eternity, and especially in these times! It is a great privilege for me to now finally be allowed to carry this name officially – and at the same time, it is a commitment to shape my life in a way that honors this name.

Prayer Protection Group for Israel
After the massacre from October 7, 2023 in Israel, we initiated an international Whatsapp group (in English). We pray unitedly around the clock for Israel according to Isaiah 62:6 "Upon your walls, Jerusalem, I have appointed watchmen. All day and all night they will not be silent for a moment ... until He raises up Jerusalem ⟨again⟩ and until He makes it a praise on earth!"
The content is exclusively related to the current situation in Israel and the only goal of this group is to bless, love, comfort and practically support God's chosen people Israel.
