Get to Know the Stolz Family

Ministry Description

Every young person eventually reaches a point where they ask themselves, “What is God's plan for my life?”. During this crucial phase of life, many develop a desire for clarity - for an environment where they can learn, grow, and experience how God's truth can change their lives. But often, this is precisely what seems to be missing: a place where faith can be deepened and lived out courageously.

Through the BBP, we are investing in young adults who come to Argentina - a special time that stands for spiritual growth through God's Word, practical mission work, intensive Spanish language learning, and lively fellowship with plenty of cultural exchange. In this way, young people do not remain disoriented on their spiritual journey, but are empowered to take their next steps with Jesus with a firm foundation of faith and a clear goal - ready to live out their God-given calling.

* Let God lay the BBP on your heart
* Invest financially and through prayer
* Experience how young people take the next step with Jesus

About Johann

I was raised in a christian family and through Gods word, He opened my eyes to my depravity, His glory, and His redemptive work. At a young age Christ saved me and I confessed Him as my Lord and Savior.
Even though my new life in Him was constrained by sin and a double life, especially during my youth, He began the process of holiness in me, which helped me to more clearly follow the path as His disciple.

Having finished school, I went to England for a year and did a year of social service with a missionary society. Here, through His Word, God awakened in me the desire to be part of His great commandment ministering abroad. The many reports from various missionaries fascinated me and made me marvel at God's work in this world.

After I married my wife Lena our interest in missions grew steadily and we asked ourselves as family where, how, and when we should serve the Lord abroad. Since Word of Life played an important role in my Life, as I was able to participate in my youth in many camps in Germany, at Starnberger See, it wasn't long before we came across the Bilingual Bible Program of Word of Life Argentina. And that was exactly what God called us to do in 2023. With a desire in our hearts to make missions accessible, we were able to experience firsthand what it means to be involved in ministering abroad. At the end of this ten month journey, God opened the door for us to join the program as staff members with our two lovely girls Jaël and Noa.

About Lena

I grew up in a christian family and attended church from an early age. As a child, I was converted during a camp and I confessed Christ as my Lord and Savior.
My childhood and youth were marked by many family problems that challenged me greatly, and I often took the wrong turn instead of turning to God with all my worries. Especially during my youth, I lived a double life for several years, dividing my time between church and parties, even though I always knew that this lifestyle did not please God. The family difficulties finally reached a peak in 2015, when my father had taken his own life. During this time, I was able to clearly experience Gods care and love for me despite all the challenges I faced and the Lord helped me to remain with Him and continue in faith.

As Johann went to England for a year, where God opened his heart for missions abroad, I prayed to God that He would prepare me for it as well. Little by little, He changed my reservations to this beautiful ministry and is still working on me today, teaching me to depend on Him instead of making a comfortable life for myself on earth.

After we got married our interest in missions grew steadily and we asked ourselves as family where, how, and when we should serve the Lord abroad. It wasn't long before we came across the Bilingual Bible Program of Word of Life Argentina, and that was exactly what God called us to do in 2023. With a desire in our hearts to make missions accessible, we were able to experience firsthand what it means to be involved in ministering abroad.
