OUR VISION
Be changed by the Father's love
Father's House for all Nations (FHN) is a place, a mission and a spiritual service at the same time. Our heart is to promote unity and reconciliation in the body of Christ, across the boundaries of nations, denominations and generations. We do this by organizing national and international conferences, seminars and prayer meetings, by building networks and through practical and concrete projects, especially in the countries of the Middle East. Jesus himself said: "By this the world will know that the Father has sent the Son."
In this sense, FHN is intended to ensure that…
-
People from all nations come together to pray, to seek the face of our Father in Heaven, and to align themselves with His heart.
-
Spiritual leaders are equipped for their tasks through events and teaching.
-
Individuals from churches and communities find a spiritual retreat and experience restoration of mind, soul and body.
-
Christians from all nations come together to support the Church in need (especially in the Middle East) with active love and prayer.
-
Through togetherness in unity and reconciliation the glory of the bride of Christ is revealed.
„An der Liebe untereinander wird die Welt erkennen, dass der Vater den Sohn gesandt hat.“
Joh. 13,35
Wir wollen als FHN dazu dienen, dass:
-
Menschen aus allen Nationen zusammenkommen, um zu beten, das Angesicht unseres Vaters im Himmel zu suchen und sich nach Seinem Herzen auszurichten.
-
Geistliche Leiter für Ihre Aufgaben ausgerüstet werden.
-
Christen einen geistlichen Rückzugsort finden und Wiederherstellung an Geist, Seele und Körper erfahren.
-
Christen aus den Nationen zusammenstehen, um in tatkräftiger Liebe und Gebet der Kirche in Not - besonders im Nahen Osten - beizustehen.
-
Durch das Miteinander in Einheit und Versöhnung die Herrlichkeit der Braut Christi zum Vorschein kommt.
FHN IN THE MIDDLE EAST
Our mission: To love and to serve
We are called to be the light and salt of this world. We serve wherever God leads us. Our focus is on the Middle East, especially Syria, Armenia and Lebanon. For the church there and for the people who urgently need our help. For us, that means living fatherly love.
RECONCILIATION AND UNITY
Find yourself and find each other
"Father, let them be one" was one of the most important prayers of Jesus Christ and is therefore also one of our most important concerns, which is reflected in our events and networks. Our conferences and seminars are always about unity and reconciliation - between denominations, between nations and peoples, between generations.
For this reflects the heart of our Heavenly Father, who wants to see His family in unity.
The networks that we lead, support as partners or are members of also aim for unity. Because through our love for one another and our unity the world will know that HE is the Son of God (John 17).
THE HISTORY OF THE MONASTERY
The history
behind the monastery purchase
Fadi Krikor says:
“Around 2013 – during a prayer time – I suddenly had the thought: “Buy a monastery!” I thought about these words for some time and decided to contact a real estate agent here in Germany to find out if there was actually one Monastery was for sale. The idea of purchasing a monastery seemed far-fetched to my common sense, but the words resonated in my mind.
To my amazement, there was actually a monastery for sale, and to my greater amazement, it was less than half an hour from where I lived! When I entered the monastery grounds, I immediately had the impression: “Yes, this is it!”. However, there were more than 20 interested buyers, primarily Catholic organizations, so the natural conditions gave little hope of being considered as buyers for the monastery. When Sister Gloria, the mother of the Dominican order, asked us about a concept for what we would use this 800-year-old monastery for, our hopes dwindled even further. For them, the concept was one of the most important factors in selling the monastery! But we had no concept.
After a few months, a miracle happened: Sister Gloria contacted us and told us: “250 sisters in the USA and Mexico have been praying intensively for the last three months, and we heard clearly from the LORD that we are selling the monastery to the Krikor family should!" Although we had no concept, the Lord had arranged for the monastery to be sold to us. Because the LORD Himself had a concept and knew what this monastery would serve and soon after, the Father’s House for all Nations (FHN) was born.”
