Heartbeat from Leo & Susanna Bigger

Dear ICF

One church three locations! We are enthusiastically watching how God is filling the new vessels in Winterthur and Rapperswil and how more and more people are experiencing Jesus in the celebrations. Also 200-300 people are coming to the unplugged celebration in Zurich on Sunday mornings! This would not be possible without the many men and women helping out every Sunday. We would like to thank you so much for your commitment and the passion you put into this church! The best thing we can do, is invest our lives, time and strength so that people, who have never heard about Jesus, can get to know Him!
We wish you the best summer holidays you have ever had!

Yours, Susanna und Leo
