We are an association of people who want to pass on the gift of God in their hearts to others in a warm and sociable way. Together we organize Jesus Film Festivals, through which we get to know our guests better and pass on to them the joy and hope that fills us through faith in Jesus Christ. We believe in the unity of the church and are explicitly non-denominational. All our activities are financed exclusively by donations.

Elijah21 invites Muslims to a day of getting to know each other. For the events, Elijah21 cooperates with churches that agree to take part and make their rooms and a few helpers available. Together, with telephone support from the Elijah21 team, the event is prepared. Once everything is planned, Elijah21 comes to the church with his team, his missionaries and the necessary equipment for the event. On one day, the missionaries go together with the congregation to invite the guests. On the following day, they are picked up by bus and, after welcoming words, they eat together in the church. The food is lovingly prepared in advance together with the Elijah21 team. The meal is primarily about meeting, sharing and closeness of heart. The aim is for the guests to feel loved and to experience the love of Jesus in each individual host. Elijah21 advises the host churches and has put together a free starter pack on the website www.elijah21.org. It consists of 2 documents and contains everything a church community needs to organize a Jesus film evening independently and can be requested on our homepage. Elijah21 offers the host churches to support the Jesus Film Festivals nationwide with his team.

We hope that people who have fled to our country will be lovingly welcomed. We strive to make the love of God tangible to them and to introduce them to the Good News that we carry in our hearts. To this end, we organize film festivals, pick up our guests with a shuttle service and begin with a generous oriental meal. This provides a beautiful setting for a trusting and respectful encounter. During the subsequent film screening about the life of Jesus in the native language of those invited, we offer a colorful children's program for our youngest guests. Finally, there is time to get to know each other and exchange ideas, followed by the opportunity to travel home on the bus provided.
